Featured Pets
"John B." is a charming neutered male Hound that's about 1.5 years old and weighs 40lbs. He was surrendered to the Shelter because his owner could no longer care for him. He needs a home with another dog pal for him to play with since his favorite thing to do is romp around and play with his doggie pals here. John B. loves a good ear scratch and snuggles, too! He is up to date on his vaccines and is heartworm negative.
  
"Bia Gia" is a stunning spayed female Pit Bull who is 3 years old and weighs 85lbs! She came to the Shelter after she was found at someone's home. Her owner never came forward to reclaim her. She is a big, squishy lovebug that just wants to snuggle! She plays great other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. She already knows how to "sit" and is ready to learn more! Bia Gia is heartworm negative and has been started on monthly prevention.
