Trixie wants your attention and she is not afraid to ask for it. She calls out to anyone in the room with her begging for pets. She will also stretch her arm out to try to reach you and pull you in so she can get the pets she so badly wants.

All Dora wants to find is some love and attention. She is so happy to see people and wont stop rubbing her face against her kennel when there is someone in the room. The only way to get her to stop is to give her your hand to rub up against instead.

Daisey has had nothing but a string of bad luck and people who have left her behind. It's time that changes. She is a happy playful girl. She loves to run around with her doggy friends and play tag. If you have a treat you have her full and undivided attention. If you don't have a treat she wants all of your attention. A sweet and happy girl like this deserves a furever home that can give her some of that love back!

Thanks to The Carlee Cause Foundation my adoption is sponsored!

Tink came in to us hurt and afraid. In spite of the pain from the gash on her side she showed us nothing but sweetness. Tink enjoys hanging out with other dogs but does not like to be rough and rowdy about it, just kind of chill in the same space. Tink is smart and picks up on training easily. She very much loves to be with her people without needing to be on top of you all the time.

Please consider adopting or fostering if you can. Animals on our urgent list are ones that would make wonderful pets in a home environment. However, they have medical concerns, exhibit extreme stress from time in the shelter environment, and/or have behaviors that make it cruel to keep them in the shelter indefinitely. They are in need of immediate placement.
