Meet Sasha!

We don't understand why wonderful Sasha has yet to find home - she has been waiting for so very long. She is a fun and loving girl who enjoys a good time and good friends. She'll give you great companionship and make you smile! She is also wonderful with other dogs. Shasha is perfectly sized at around 30lbs.

SASHA is a Featured dog. With an intake year of 2007, these dogs have been waiting at the shelter much longer than they deserve. A donor is sponsoring 1/2 the adoption fee to help them find the right home. Could it be yours?

Meet Peggy! Update: Adopted!

Update 5/28: Peggy has been adopted!!

Peggy may be missing a leg, but don’t let it bother you – it doesn’t bother her! Peggy is all lap dog – got a lap?

Peggy is a Special Edition! Though these dogs may require some specialized care, they are more than capable of giving you the same love and fun any other dog can give. Are you special enough for a special edition?

Meet Boone!

Boone has some smiles yet to share in his senior years! He's a funny guy who deserves a great retirement. When you scratch his back, Boone does the cutest little jig :) He does enjoy a good snooze, but he'd like it better on a nice cozy dog bed in someone's living room.

Mature dogs make excellent pets! Calmer than those younger hooligans, these older pups usually also have better house manners and are especially appreciative of getting a good forever home to retire in (or start that second puppyhood!). Won't you consider a Mature pet?

Meet Maizy!

Don't call Maizy disabled! She gets along without that leg just fine and dandy. Maizy is an amazing athlete who plays fetch with a passion, and actually brings the ball back! With her Viszla heritage, she is no couch potato. Anyone looking for a playmate will do well to look atMaizy!

Maizy does bark at men, but she is SO addicted to playing ball that we believe a good game of fetch will win her over.

Maizy is a Special Edition! Though these dogs may require somespecialized care, they are more than capable of giving you the same love and fun any other dog can give. Are you special enough for a special edition?

Give Warm Fuzzies for Mother's Day!

What do you get the Mom who has everything? A gift from the heart - a gift to the needy animals at The Animal Shelter!

We have some important donation funds set up for our greatest needs:

Kick the Tics ($25) will provide flea & tick preventive during our season of need.

Cut a Mutt ($35) will allows us to take one of our furry friends for grooming.

Fix a Critter ($50) will allow more dogs & cats to visit PetSmart for offsite adoptions.

Save a Heart ($100) will help us treat our heartworm positive dogs so they can be adopted.

For an extra-special Mother's Day present, you can contribute specifically to T.J.'s heartworm fund in the amount of your choosing. You can leave Mom a special note on our wall.

Then, be certain you give Mom what she wants most - time with you! Take her online to show her the animals that your donation in her honor will help.

Meet Fern!

Fern is such a great dog! She is always wearing a smile and has yet to meet a dog she can't get along with. While she loves to run around the yard, she is also happy to sit by your side and soak up attention. And how so many people have been able to resist those adorable mis-matched ears, we just don't understand!

Fern is a member of The ONE Club - she has been looking for"the one" for over 1 year. Isn't it about time she found home?
