Thanks to every one who donated towards the veterinary care for Bud and Max. We are thrilled that both of these wonderful dogs have been adopted. We could not have given these dogs a chance without your help. Because of you, they are now happy, healthy and in loving homes.
Meet Brewster! We think he is a Manchester Terrier/Beagle mix. He is super cute with an adorable face. He weighs about 25 lbs and is 6 to 7 yrs old (as of 8/5). He came to us as a stray with a broken pelvis. He has had several weeks for that to heal and is doing very well. It does cause him to walk with a lip right now. He is a friendly dog who loves being around people. He is quite social and affectionate. He does like to be the boss with other dogs, and would probably be happiest as the only dog. He has lots of love to give and wants your love in return – he just may not want to share that love with another dog. He is calm and well mannered. We can easily take food from him, but he doesn’t want any other dog around his food. He nicely takes treats from us. This little guy came to us in a rough way, but he is better and is a happy boy who is ready to be your friend.

Many of the animals that come into the shelter each year touch our lives. They all have their own individual personalities and their own needs – but all of them have a lot to give in return. There are some stories, however, that stand above the others in the degree to which they have impacted the lives and hearts of the shelter's staff and volunteers. Check out our other website below to read more about these special animals.
