Featured Pets!

BUCKY!!!

Bucky is your typical active high energy puppy! He will benefit from the beginning obedience class offered at the shelter. We recommend that prospective adopters have breed experience. Once properly trained Bucky will make a wonderful family companion!


ROCKY!!!

Rocky is very friendly, easy going and loves to cuddle. If you're looking for a companion with loads of affection then Rocky is your guy! At times he can play a little rough so it would be best that Rocky be placed in a home without small children.
