For 2 Dogs, 2 Years and Counting

Can you help these long-term residents? Tyke and Carly have both been at the shelter for over 2 years. We need help reaching out to people who are looking for that someone special to add to their lives. Please share their stories!




Carly is the total package! She is a super-fun girl who loves to run and play. Once she is out of energy, she loves to be loved on as well. Her personality shines and she exudes happiness.


Carly has spent her entire life at the shelter. That means she has never had the opportunity to live in a home or become housetrained. Carly is eager to please and anyone with the experience, patience, love, and time to invest in helping Carly fit into a home life will be rewarded many times over. She truly is joy on four legs! Carly can also be fussy about which other dogs she likes, so a meet-and-greet with any other dog(s) in the home is a must.



Can you help Carly finally find the right home for her? Please share her on Facebook or tweet about her.







Tyke is a dog who can adapt to fit your needs. He can be independent and keep himself busy when needed, or he can be a big silly goof with puppy antics when you are ready to play!



Tyke is a skeptic (after 2 years, who can blame him?). He can be doubtful of new people until he really gets to know them and is certain they are trustworthy. Once he trusts you, his inner puppy comes bursting out! Despite being an adult dog, he has some puppy mannerisms that might be too much for very small kids. Adults and young adults will suit him best. Tyke was past puppyhood when he came to the shelter, so even though 2 years is too long to remember his house dog days, he will probably relearn quickly from someone who is patient and has his trust.



Can you help Tyke finally find the right home for him? Please share him on Facebook or tweet about him.
