PORTABLE PUPS FOR ADOPTION! Toffee (brown/white) & Baby Girl (tan chi mix, ID: 38742) are both lookin' for their forever homes!! Both of these babies are still learning the art of leash walking, but are extremely affectionate once their initial jitters calm down. They would also both likely appreciate a quieter home to relax in!

Toffee (ID: 38691), ~2 y/o, is a sweet boy, likely a JRT/Dachshund mix...maybe some beagle in there! He's good with other pups his own size so far, and he also did live with...many others at one point. Kitties are unknown, but we think he'd love kiddos who know how to be gentle and respectful!

Baby Girl (ID: 38742), also ~2 y/o, is an adorable little lady who is timid at first, but once she warms up to you, she's VELCRO! At only 20 lbs, she's ideal for those who live in a quieter environment and would likely be a good fit for those in apartments with restrictions. She's got the most unique grey eyes and little blue spot on her tongue! Perhaps...Shiba-Chi mix?? She loves giving kisses, but very much needs to melt into her new environment before any crazy new adventures!

Who doesn't love a Mocha Latte? ML (ID: 38687) is a purebred Border Collie, universally ranked as THE smartest dog breed!! Border Collies can do AMAZING things! Agility, herding, tricks, you name it!! They are a breed that craves expectation and structure and should be adopted by someone who has done their research! We truly believe Mocha Latte would be EXCELLENT for a farm house or agility trainer or other active family, but NOT for a small space or apartment. She needs exercise and mental stimulation! She gets along with other dogs and seems to love kiddos! Kitties are still a question mark, but ideally your kitty would be calm and assertive to divert the natural BC herding instinct. She's a beautiful girl with lots of love to give -- and who deserves lost of love in return! Come visit Mocha Latte any time we're open, no appointment necessary!

Big, beautiful BELLA (ID: 10093) is up for adoption!

Bella is a staff favorite! Any Husky fan would be LUCKY to welcome her into their family!! Bella ADORES kids and likes her pup friends, too! At nearly 5 y/o, she's mature, housetrained and has a very distinct, funny and mischievous personality! She knows lots of commands and was well-loved in her previous life. It's up to us now to find her the perfect home. Bella loves to romp with a ball, but you can also look forward to cuddling up on the couch with all of her fluff at the end of a long day! Just be prepared for grooming! Bella is truly WONDERFUL -- Come meet her at the shelter to see if she's the right fit for you and yours!

LOVE pups, but can't keep one at home?? One thing these babies need and would LOVE is a DOGGIE DAY OUT!

Walk around a park, take them for a pup-cup, go for a hike -- they'll be SO much happier for it!

Why is this so important? If we don't have VOLUNTEERS to walk them at the shelter or bust them out of the shelter for a few hours, they spend roughly 23.75 hours a day in their kennels...It can't be helped , BUT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE - VOLUNTEER!

GOOBER ALERT! We have two precious silly gooses up for adoption! Tripp (black/tan hound mix) & GOOSE (aptly named black and white wirehaired terrier mix).

Tripp (ID: 38721) is, well, A TRIP! These photos don't quite do him justice -- he's already a BIG baby at 70+ pounds and only 10 months old! We know he's a hound mix, but mixed with...??? Rottie?? All we know is that he ACTS like a typical hound with all of his floppy ways. He's a total sweetheart who loves kids and does like other pups as well!! Kitties, we don't know about. He's remarkably smart for such a cheeseball and does know basic commands and responds to training/correction fairly well!

Goose (ID: 38708), though equally as silly, is quite the opposite as far as size and stature. He's a wirehaired something! At only 8 months old, he's bound to be a wonderful addition to almost any home! He's also pretty dang smart and weighs in at about 40 pounds with a little room to grow, but not much! Good with other pups and kids, but kitties are also unknown! He came to us as a stray so we only know what we've observed!

You can visit either of these furry comedians any time we're open -- no appointment necessary!

Find more info and photos of these two on our website, where you will ALSO find our adoption applications!!

What if your next great love story only had to last a few weeks? πŸ’•πŸΎ

Fostering gives pets a chance to decompress, learn home routines, and get the care and attention they need while they wait for adoption. For many shelter pets, that temporary stop can make all the difference.

In fact, if just 2% of pet-owning households opened their homes to foster, we could end preventable euthanasia in U.S. shelters.

This National Foster a Pet Month, consider saying "yes" to a short-term commitment with a lifelong impact.

Ready to meet your temporary match? Contact your local shelter or rescue to learn about fostering opportunities today! 🫢

UP FOR ADOPTION - MONET! Do you love watercolors? You'll appreciate Monet's amazing watercolor-esque coat! He's a beautiful, handsome Akita that we believe is about 3.5 years old! His story is odd indeed, though. He was picked up at our old CLOSED location in the sally port enclosure!! We don't know how long he was there, but we're sure glad ACO picked him up!

What we've observed about this supremely handsome fella is that he is calm, gentle, well-mannered, housetrained and extremely treat motivated! We haven't tested him with dogs yet, but happen to know he lived with another Akita after someone found ads on Craigslist trying to sell this poor guy and, yup, there was another pup with him! We don't know about kiddos or kitties, though! Monet's story doesn't have to be a sad one, however. He's available for you to adopt and love forever, which is exactly what this brawny fella needs! Monet is a work of art! Come visit him in all his glory on our Dog Adoption Floor any time we're open!
