Meet Tarzan
Meet the king of the shelter....Tarzan!! Â He is the cutest fella with so much love to give. Â He was found by a lady and she kept him for 2 months with hopes of finding his owner and with no luck she had to bring him to us on Feb. 27, 2013. Â He is around 1 year old and tested positive for heart worms and has been started on the "slow kill" method" of getting a once a month heart worm prevention. Â Typically with in 2 years he should test negative. Â Being that he is so young he will probably test negative a lot quicker. Â He is just a handsome fella and with some basic training (which all pups need) he will make someone or a family very happy. Â Please know that dogs are considered to be a pup until they are around 2 years old and that pups are great however they require time, patience, love, and consistent training from you the new owner. Please make sure you are ready for the commitment including the "puppy phase" before adopting. Â Tarzan walks pretty good on the leash once he releases his pinned up energy. Â We have someone working with him on his manners and he is improving. Â Come to the shelter and spend some time with Tarzan and see what a good boy he is and give him a chance at a great life in a loving FOREVER home that he deserves. Tarzan is now neutered and current on vaccinations.
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-2, and on Sunday from 11-3 during the spring and summer only. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
