🐾 Senior Spotlight – Meet Shadow & Khaleesi 🐾

Some dogs spend their whole lives knowing the comfort of a home, a familiar routine, and their favorite person. Shadow, 11, and Khaleesi, 10, are now facing a big change they never asked for. ❤️

These two seniors were surrendered because their owner was physically no longer able to care for them. It wasn't a lack of love, but a difficult change in circumstances—and now these sweet souls need a soft place to land.

Both are housebroken, and Shadow seems to draw confidence from having Khaleesi by his side. Having something familiar in an unfamiliar place can make all the difference. 🥹

At their age, they deserve comfort, gentle care, and a place where they can relax and feel safe. If you have room in your heart and home for two senior dogs who need a fresh start, Shadow and Khaleesi are waiting.

🐶 Adoption fee: Free for Shadow and Khaleesi, including sterilization, DAPPV, Bordetella, and rabies vaccines.

🕒 Adoption Hours: Monday–Friday: 12–5 Every third Saturday: 10–2

🐾 Puppy Spotlight – Meet Dakota! 🐾

Think you might have a little room in your life for a smart, sweet puppy? Meet Dakota! ❤️

We think this pretty girl is a Heeler mix, and she's got all the makings of a wonderful companion. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up pretty quickly and soon shows off her sweet, loving side.

Dakota likes other dogs and seems to be very treat motivated, which is great news because she's eager to learn! 🦴 She's also said to be housebroken as long as she's given frequent potty breaks. She's still a baby, after all, and she's learning!

With her sweet nature and smart little brain, Dakota has so much potential. She just needs someone willing to help her grow into the amazing dog she's meant to be. 🥰

🐶 Adoption fee: $75, including sterilization, DAPPV, Bordetella, and rabies vaccines.

🕒 Adoption Hours:
Monday–Friday: 12–5
Every third Saturday: 10–2

🐾 Puppy Spotlight – Meet Irwin! 🐾

Remember Hedge, the Great Pyrenees mix puppy we showed off last week? He headed to a foster-to-adopt home, and now it’s his brother Irwin’s turn to shine! ❤️

Irwin is the last of our Pyr mix puppies still looking for his own home. Just like his siblings, he has a sweet demeanor and a loving personality. He’s also dog-friendly, so he’s happy to have canine company!

Irwin has been at the shelter for a little while, and we’d love to see him start the next chapter of his life with a family of his own. He already is the last one waiting, and we don’t want him to grow up in the shelter. 🥹🐾

Could Irwin be the missing piece in your family?

🐶 Adoption fee: $75, including sterilization, DAPPV, Bordetella, and rabies vaccines.

🕒 Adoption Hours:
Monday–Friday: 12–5
Every third Saturday: 10–2
