•SHELTER UPDATE Our dog kennels are FULL. We are now making the public aware that euthanasia for space is a strong possibility in the next several days. If needed, dogs facing euthanasia will be posted on the euthanasia page: HERE If this occurs, we hope to be in a position to list these dogs for up to five days, but cannot guarantee that will happen based on variables/requests we receive from the public about running, at large, or stray dogs. We are making a plea to animal owners to make sure your animals are microchipped, licensed or wearing name tags, in case they get out and are impounded. Reconnecting you with your animal is much easier with these IDs. Also, please check fencing or gates on your property. Unfortunately, we cannot accept new animals due to pet owners not claiming their dogs in a timely manner. Also, over the past several days, many animals have been impounded. We need owned dogs recently impounded to be picked up ,as soon as possible. Fostering is also a big help, and interested parties can can find information about our Foster Program and the Foster applicaion HERE: FOSTER INFO Check out our adoptable dogs, and if you are interested in one (or more!) , fill out an online ADOPTION APPLICATION and a staff member will contact you and make arrangements for you to meet the dog(s).

• PLEASE READ! Appointments Required to View/MEET Adoptable Animals — the ADOPTABLE DOG We discovered during the Covid crisis and subsequent restrictions for businesses, that curtailing visitors in the kennel areas reduced over-stimulating the dogs, and thus, they were not stressed out, they behaved better in the kennels, there was a decline in sicknesses/medical treatments, and the dogs were able to get the much needed 12 to 16 hours of sleep they require. Please click on OR CAT links below to see our adoptable animals, then be sure to pre-fill out the Adoption Application by clicking on the FORMS LINK BELOW. Additionally, call 467-6453 to schedule an appointment to see our adoptable animals. Appointments are highly recommended & appreciated but walk-ins can be accommodated depending on the staff's workload. If you are a walk-in please be patient and staff will assist you as soon as possible. Appointments will be scheduled for up to 60 minutes.
