Ike

Breed: Chihuahua/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

My name is Ike and I'm looking for a new home. I am a very sweet boy that can be a little shy to start. Once I am comfortable I enjoy giving kisses and going for walks. I am most comfortable sitting in my person's lap, but it is very important that I get walked instead of carried around. This will keep me active and in good health. I am asking for a home with children over the age of 8 years as I can be sensitive to over-handling and can get overwhelmed. Those little guys are just a tad to grabby for me. I am about 3 years old and weigh 8.5 pounds. Please come and meet me today!

Choo Choo

Breed: Domestic Shorthair/ Mix

Gender: Male

Hello there! My name is Choo Choo and I'm ready for a new home after spending some time on the streets. Livi9ng on the streets is no fun and I'm ready to upgrade my lifestyle.

Thankfully it was not much to worry about, but please no more injuries for me. I'm getting sick of dodging those cars. I am a very sweet guy who really enjoys human companionship. I hope you can appreciate that. I am about 8 years old and weigh 8 pounds. Please come and meet me today!

Lakota Sioux

Breed: Labrador Retriever/ Pitbull, American

Gender: Female

Age: Adult

Who's a good dog? Who's a pretty girl? Who wants to go for a walk? I do. I do. Pick me. Pick me. I'm Lakota Sioux, and I'm so pleased to meet you. I am the sweetest, most gentle lady here at the shelter. When I am not delighting you with my great looks and calm demeanor, you should know that I enjoy a good game of tug, love walks, and have the sweetest disposition. They invented the term "volunteer favorite" for dogs just like me. My new home should not have any small animals, cats, or other dogs though. They are a little too much for me. Good thing I love people! I cannot wait to bond with you and be your favorite companion ever. Come down and meet me today! I'm certain we can change each other's lives. I am 7years old and weigh 60 pounds.

Hi there! My name is Jefe and I'm looking for a new loving home. Unfortunately my owners were no longer able to care for me and I have found myself here at the shelter looking for another.

Joey

Breed: Cocker Spaniel/ Mix

Gender: Male

Age: Adult

Hello there! I'm Joey and I'm an easy going old gent, about 10 years old. I'm looking to spend my golden years with a nice home who doesn't mind that I just want to mostly lay around. Maybe I could adopt a nice person who would help me drop a few lbs since over the years I've put on a bit more then I intended to. I like to snuggle and wouldn't mind some dog or cat siblings. I'd prefer no young children because my joints can be achy in the mornings and evenings at times and I don't want to have to worry too much about a child accidentally bumping me on them. If you think you may be a fit, come meet me today!

Diego

Breed: Chihuahua/ Dachshund

Gender: Male

Age: Young

My name is Diego and I'm in search of a true family! I ended up here at the shelter after someone found me running the streets and I was terrified. The shelter has been very overwhelming for me with all of the new faces and smells. I will need a quiet home where I can adjust slowly to my new environment. Once I feel comfortable and you have earned my trust, I am a real sweetheart that enjoys going for walks. I hope you're looking for a lap dog, because that is where I like to be. The shelter recommends that we attend reward based training classes to help build my confidence, so I can adjust to new things easier. Also, children in the home should be over 10 years old. Those little guys are a little too much for my style. I am a diamond in the rough, waiting for someone to polish me off. Please come and meet me today! I am about 1 year old and 15 pounds.
