ROSIE

**Dogo Argentino female, 5 years old and 80 pounds **   Rosie LOVES people and is very attentive. Unfortunately, she tested positive for heartworm, but our wonderful clinic staff is taking good care of her, and she is on the road to recovery! Rosie was such a good girl and was very well behaved in our evaluation room. She will need a home without other dogs and an experienced handler. Rosie knows sit and is easy to walk on leash! We think Rosie would love a warm home with a soft place where she can enjoy an afternoon nap—and lots of love, given and received, in her golden years.

CASSIE

Mixed Breed female, 1 year and 45 beautiful pounds

Cassie has a very sweet, playful side when she feels comfortable, but can be nervous and unsure with new experiences or people. Cassie is a young adolescent who will benefit from a guardian who can get her out and about, letting her experience new environments and meet new people. Cassie came from a hoarding situation, and unfortunately, did not get much socialization with people. She lived with several dogs.

BELLA

German Shepherd Dog SPAYED female, 7 years old and 103 pounds

Beautiful Bella is a gentle giant. Bella is not your typical Shepherd—she’s not high-strung or high energy. She's shy girl, however, and will need a guardian who understands shy dogs. Bella was brought to the Shelter when her guardian began having health issues. Bella is calm and loving, enjoys car rides, and she is cautious with new people and dogs. We think Bella would be the perfect companion in a quiet home, with a guardian who is home most of the time and looking for a best friend. Pictures do not do this dog justice…she is a stunner.

PENNY

Herding dog, female, 2 years old and 41 very beautiful pounds

The first thing to know about Penny is—she LOVES her toys. In fact, she’s crazy about stuffs! The second thing to know about Penny is that she is very smart, and we’re not surprised about that, as Herding Dogs are noted for their intelligence. Penny pays attention to her surroundings and is very aware of things going on around her. If you enjoy canine activities you can share with your bestie—such as obedience training, agility, or flyable, this girl might be the dog you’re looking for! Come to the shelter and meet her!

REBA

Mixed breed SPAYED female, 2 years old and a delightful 45 pounds.

Although she needs some fine tuning in the doggie manners department, Reba aims to please and is very attentive to her handler. With consistent training and lots of love, someone is going to end up with a loyal and loving companion. Reba was very underweight when she arrived at the shelter from a hoarding situation, but we’ve been fattening her up! This beautiful girl settles very nicely inside and would enjoy a canine friend in her new home.

JOPLIN

Mixed breed SPAYED female, 2 years old and a gorgeous 70 pounds.

Joplin is very sweet but she’s overwhelmed finding herself at the shelter. She can be a little nervous meeting new people, but we think she will be feeling much more comfortable once she spends time with our great volunteers. Joplin is easy to walk and enjoys getting outside where she can sniff to her heart’s delight. Indoors, Joplin is mellow. Joplin came from a hoarding situation, and unfortunately, she did not get much socialization with people—but that’s all going to change now that she’s safe and sound at the Shelter.

RIHANNA

Mixed Breed female, 9 months old and 44 soulful pounds

Rihanna came to the shelter from a hoarding situation, and very thin. She lived with several other dogs. Rihanna can be shy when she first meets new people, but warms up once she feels comfortable. When Rihanna was in the meet and greet room, we found out she LOVES to play with toys! Rihanna does walk on leash and likes to be right next to her person. With some time and lots of love, we think Rihanna will bloom into a wonderful companion.

LORETTA

Mixed Breed female, 9 months old and 43 playful pounds

Sweet Loretta is a little bit shy, but once she knows you and feels comfortable, she warms up and becomes a playful puppy! Loretta does walk on leash, but she will need lots of TLC and basic obedience. She’s eager to please, so training will be fun and rewarding for her. Loretta came to the shelter from a hoarding situation and was very skinny. But, this girl is a beauty!

BILLIE

Mixed Breed female, 2 years old and 45 sweet pounds.

Billie is a sweetheart, but she lacks some good old confidence. She’s a submissive, shy dog who will need lots of TLC to help her gain self-assurance.

With a little time and lots of TLC, Billie will blossom into a loving and loyal companion.
