-- Adopting a friend --

Please call the shelter if you are interested in adopting any of the pets. Although we try our best to update this page, we cannot guarantee that the information here is up-to-date. Please note that the shelter is unable to 'hold' animals. Stray animals taken to the shelter are held for three business days to allow the owner to reclaim the pet. If they are not reclaimed they are available for adoption. Owner surrendered pets typically are available for adoption or rescue immediately. The temporary adoption fee per the Director is a non refundable $65.00 for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. The adoption fee covers the surgical sterilization, a one year rabies vaccination and a booster vaccination. If the pet is already spayed/neutered, the adoption fee is only $15

🐾 German Shepherd Mix
🎂 3 Years Old
♀️ Female

This beautiful girl has experienced a loss she doesn’t understand. Her owner passed away, and now, at only 3 years old, she has found herself in a shelter surrounded by unfamiliar people, sounds, and smells.

She’s a little scared right now, and who could blame her? She had a person. She had a life she knew. And suddenly, everything changed.

When you look into those big brown eyes, you can see how unsure she is. She isn’t asking for much, just patience, kindness, and someone willing to show her that she can feel safe and loved again.

She deserves the chance to grieve, decompress, and learn that losing the only life she knew doesn’t mean her story is over. Somewhere out there could be the person who gives this sweet girl her second chapter a quiet place to rest, a gentle hand to reassure her, and a home where she never has to wonder where she belongs again. 🥺

Please share her. Let’s get this little girl out of the shelter and into a loving home. Her heart has already been through enough.

🐾 Meet and greets are always recommended if you have fur babies and children.

Please help with a donation if you’re in the position to do so. No amount is too small. RezDawg has been very good to us here in Valencia County and helping thousands of animals get fixed and the veterinary care that they need. Please consider helping them, even if it’s just five dollars.
