Bart is here and ready to complete your life! Bart is a 6 years old boxer mix who has decided he prefers to be the lone man in your life...with four legs at least.

Hi I'm Minnie! Sadly, my previous family had to move away. Now, I'm back and looking for another place to call home. I'm an experienced cuddler, with 6 years of practice! I am such a good girl, so why not give me a chance? Come by the shelter today!

Meet Mia. This sweet girl is a little misunderstood. She was found as a stray in March, and quickly found a home. With a little bit of trial and error, we've discovered that Mia is needing a home with adults and older kids only. She is quick to trust, making that bond is so strong for her that she would love to have someone that will be with her most of the time. Mia is just 2 years old and a lab mix. Labs are known for their loyalty, and that's exactly what you'll get from Mia. Let's give her a reason to trust again, come visit her today.

Don’t leave us in the dark Our power may be out, but we can still help Primrose and her friends find their forever homes! She decided to dodge the black out and visit PetSmart on Campbell Street to see if she could find a family there. But don't worry! Our $1 Cat Day is happening until 6pm today. Come meet adoptable cats like Primrose and make their New Year’s dreams come true.

URGENT! Our power is out and we are running out of blankets to keep our puppies warm. Please, if you have any you can donate today, we are desperate! Stay safe and warm out there!

We hope you have a happy and safe New Year! Be sure to start 2021 off with a bang and join us for our $1 Cat Day special! Adult cats will have a $1 adoption fee to help them find forever homes and start the new year with a new life.

Caramel's journey with us began in 2019, and sadly, it was just the beginning. Caramel has tried to fit in, but she was born to stand out. We know it takes just one good home to make it work, but we need your help to find that one. She is a sweet, loving, and OH MY is she a funny girl. This 3 year old little pittie mix has experienced things that have made her a little anxious. All of that together is not her fault but simply what makes this beautiful, silly girl so amazing and unique. Please help us share Caramel's story and let's get her in her TRUE forever home.
