Story
Meet Kaleesi! She is a squatty, 8 year old Bully mix who is looking for her forever home! She easily captures your attention with her short, muscular build, and her beautiful grin! Kaleesi loves everyone she meets, and greets you with a snort and a slobbery kiss. Even with her little legs, she has some speed, and loves to zoom through the grass. She can't wait to have a yard of her own! Don't let her age fool you, because she is full of spunk and charisma! She seems to do well with other dogs, but will need a cat free home. Kaleesi loves kids! She is ready to be the next addition to your family! Kaleesi's adoption fee is $170 and includes her vaccines, deworming, fecal exam, heart worm test, heart worm prevention, and spay.

Story
Sparkles is a 3 1/2 year old Lab/Cattle Dog mix available for adoption. Sparkles has been to our facility before, but, unfortunately, her owner left her behind this time. We can't understand why because Sparkles is amazing! She is friendly, outgoing, and is a ton of fun! Her ears perk up when she hears the chirp of her favorite squeaky toy, and will bounce up and down to get it. If you are looking for an playful pup who loves adventures and is always on the go, Sparkles is the one for you! Sparkles is good with other dogs, and is part of our doggie playgroup in the morning. After her burst of energy is gone, she will crawl up next to you, and lay her head on your lap. She will happily snooze next to you, and will keep you warm during the night. Sparkles is ready to put the shelter life behind her, and find a devoted home that will treat her like one of the family. She is already spayed, and her adoption fee is $90. This includes her vaccines, deworming, fecal exam, heart worm test, heart worm prevention, and registered microchip.

Story
Sherlock was rescued along with his brothers and sisters as a puppy and had a every puppy illness you could think of. We rescued him when he was 3 month and worked him back to being a health and happy puppy. When he was small and still learning he behaved well with our other much older and larger dog. Now that Sherlock is grown he does not interact well with our other dog. Sherlock will guard/protect his toys, and food from other dogs to a point where he needs to be the only dog in a home. He never guards from me or my wife and we have be able to ask for toys from him and he will happily give them to us and wait for them to come back. Sherlock is full of energy and loves to be outside, is is perfectly happy to lay on a porch or in the grass. Sherlock also is a big chewer, he will chew on a hard bone for hours and he never has chewed on any furniture. When not running around Sherlock is a very cuddly dog. His favorite place to take a nap is under a blanket between a person legs
