🌟Shelter Spotlight🐾
Meet VULCAN, DELOREAN, & BARRACUDA

These 3 came to us from the same situation and have come so far with their training. They are our longest residents and have been at the shelter 48 days. They would love a yard and person to trust of their own ♥️

VULCAN is a love bug. He is about 9 months old, weighs 45 pounds. He loves cuddles and wants to just be with you! Isn't he handsome??? 😍 He loves naps in the sun 🌞

DELOREAN is smaller and the sweetest little girl💖 She is about 35 pounds, also 9 months old. She loves attention and cuddles and has been working on her excitement when she sees someone, she just can't contain herself !? 😄

BARRACUDA is very treat motivated. He is about 45 pounds and the same age of his siblings. He has been working the hardest on training and he's doing great. He does sometimes take time to warm up to new people.

They are all doing clicker training and excelling. They are dog friendly. 🐶
With a yard and a person to love and trust, they will make the best family addition.

Come meet one of them and give them the chance they deserve! 💓

I will forever recommend your shelter to everyone I meet. Almost 6 years ago, I walked into the shelter, just to browse and play with a few of the babies.. not knowing I would walk out with my best friend, and the best little daughter with paws in the world. She has alittle gray in her muzzle these days, but miss Daisy is still the same loving, and amazing girl she was when I brought her home. Although now, she is absolutely queen of the couch 🤣🤍I wouldn't have made it without her all these years. I just wanted to remind you how thankful I am, for everything you do for these fur babies!!! ❤️

YAY for these beautiful babies finding their furever home!

A great day for sure!!!

Awesome!! So exciting for them!!
