Meet Stanley – From Junkyard to Hidden Gem!

Stanley is an 8-year-old sweetheart with a heart as big as his smile. Picked up by Animal Control Officers while roaming, Stanley came from an unstable and rough environment. But don’t let his past fool you — this resilient boy is all about love, loyalty, and second chances.

Now neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and disease-free, Stanley is ready to leave his junkyard days behind and become someone’s loyal companion. He walks with a little wisdom in his steps, loves to greet you with a wagging tail, and thrives on gentle affection and calm surroundings.

Stanley has a lot of life and love left to give. Will you be the one to show him what a true home feels like?

Come meet Stanley — your diamond in the ruff!

Blu’s Big Adventure: A Car Ride of Joy

At the animal shelter, Blu is known for her giant smile and even bigger heart. As part of the shelter’s enrichment program, Blu recently got to go on a special car ride adventure — and she couldn’t have been more excited!

From the moment he jumped into the backseat, Blu’s tail wagged like crazy. Her nose pressed eagerly against the window, taking in all the new sights and smells. With her bright red harness on and a big goofy grin, she looked like the happiest dog in the world.

As the car cruised down the road, Blu soaked up the sun streaming through the windows, sticking her head out every chance she got to feel the breeze on her face. Every stop was another chance to sniff the air, watch people go by, and wag her tail at anyone who smiled at her.

The drive wasn’t just about fun — it was about helping Blu stay happy, mentally stimulated, and ready to meet her future family. These special rides remind him that the world is full of good things waiting for him — and that her forever home might be just around the next corner.

Blu is ready for her next big adventure — hopefully with a family who loves car rides just as much as she does!

Why I love being an Animal Control Officer in honor of ACO Week

My favorite part of being an Animal Control Officer is getting to work with so many animals every day. I truly love every animal I meet. While this job comes with its challenges, the rewards are beyond measure. Making a difference in an animal’s life fills my soul — especially when I get to watch a pet who was once let down by humans find their perfect forever home.

Meet Dirty Hairy — A Rough Start, A Bright Future

When Animal Control found Dirty Hairy wandering the streets, it was clear life hadn’t been kind to him. His long fur was tangled and dirty, and he carried the weary look of a little dog who had been fending for himself far too long. The team waited, hoping someone would come forward to claim him — but no one ever did.

At the shelter, Dirty Hairy was hesitant at first. He kept his distance from the devoted staff and volunteers, unsure if he could trust these new people. But they never gave up. With patience, compassion, and gentle care, they showed Dirty Hairy that he was safe. Day by day, he started to let his guard down.

Now, Dirty Hairy’s true spirit shines through. Once he gets to know you, he’s incredibly sweet, friendly, and full of charm. He loves exploring his surroundings, wagging his fluffy tail with pride, and even flashing the occasional playful grin once he feels comfortable.

Dirty Hairy has been fully vetted and is healthy, clean, and ready to find his forever family. He’s around 6 years old. He’s waiting for that special person or family who will give him the love and security he deserves — someone who will cherish his quirky name and even bigger heart.

After all he’s been through, Dirty Hairy is more than ready to trade in his rough past for a bright, loving future. Could you be the one he’s been waiting for?

His adoption fee is waived through our “Spring into Love” promotion.

Meet Buttercup – Your New Best Friend!

Buttercup’s journey hasn’t been easy. Found roaming alone with painful skin and ear infections — and ears cropped far too short — this little pocket-sized bulldog mix has faced more neglect than any dog should. But despite her tough past, Buttercup remains sweet, friendly, and full of love to give.

At just 2 years old, Buttercup is ready to leave her hard days behind. She’s looking for a family who will give her the proper care, kindness, and affection she has always deserved. Her spirit is strong, her heart is open, and she’s ready to bloom in a home filled with love.

Thanks to our “Spring Into Love” adoption promotion, Buttercup’s adoption fee is waived!

If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will return your love a thousand times over, Buttercup is waiting for you. Come meet her today — and give her the fresh start she’s been dreaming of.

She will be spayed prior to adoption.
