Our Featured Pets
Sabrina #674
Thirteen-year-old Sabrina and her siblings were displaced when their family lost their home. Although they were given a month to pick them up, time was not on their side and are still looking for a home. The girls are very well cared for and already spayed. They would like to go home in pairs. Sabrina would like to go with her sister Felicia. The cost for both is only $70.
Inka #778
Eleven-year-old Inka is professionally trained. He is an unfortunate statistic......He had to move from his home because the insurance agent said he would cancel the poilicy if Inka stayed. This is a happy verbal guy that knows several commands. He has reportedly been schutzund trained and has responded to some of the commands given to him by the staff at the shelter. He wants to be someone loyal loves for his last years. Relatively healthy and has a great appetite.
King #602
Two y.o. King came from a home where he lived with two other dogs and has shown no aggression towards any dogs at the shelter. He is a pretty quiet and lovable boy who is handsome and affectionate. He will bond very quickly with someone who has a little love to spare. He has a peculiar characteristic of whining instead of barking to get attention or show excitement. Really nice sweet dog. Also knows his sit command and is easily trained with treats and praise. Check out King's video on youtube.
