Adopting a Dog

Our Dogs

Second-hand dogs make first class pets.

If you’re looking for a new best friend, look no further! Our shelter has big dogs, small dogs, fluffy dogs, and sleek dogs. We have loyal dogs, kind dogs, brave dogs, and gentle dogs. 

They’re all wagging and waiting for that one special person who’ll notice something special in their hopeful eyes.
