Look at that face!!! Chance is a handsome American Bulldog who looks very much like the dog Chance from the movie Homeward Bound. He is a big goofball who loves tummy rubs and playtime with our volunteers. Chance needs plenty of play and exercise in his life - regular exercise will enable him to be a more calm, relaxed dog in the home. He is an adolescent dog who came into the shelter as a stray. His previous family clearly neglected to teach him manners and he was a bit of a 'bull in a china shop' upon arrival.

Thanks to our trainers, Chance has changed his ways! He is a very loving and obedient dog who now walks beautifully on a leash. He will need to continue this training with a new family, so be prepared to practice some obedience training and manners after adoption.

If you would like to meet Chance, please visit during our adoption hours: Thursdays 5-7pm, Saturdays & Sundays 12-3pm.

Meet Jerry! He's an awesome kitty!  He loves attention and will sit in your lap and purr as long as you're willing to give him scratches.  He's a big, muscular kitty and we're extimating that he's about 2-3 years.  If I could have another kitty at home, this big boy would be the one!  He's been doing well with the other cats at the shelter - very social with them - but he's not crazy about the dogs.  He seems to feel threatened and will swat at them when they get too close.  

Jerry is at the shelter waiting for some lucky family to scoop him up!  This boy is too dignified to play dress-up and too assertive to be carried around like a teddy bear - because of this, Jerry will do best in a household with children ages 10+.

If you think Jerry might be a good fit for you, please visit the shelter during adoption hours: Thursdays 5-7pm, Saturdays & Sundays 12-3pm.

Oh, Martin, how you've stolen our hearts!  This big lug of a dog is the most kind, gentle spirit you'll ever meet!  Martin has no idea that he weighs in around 85 lbs. - he thinks he's a lap baby!  Martin wants, more than anything else in life, to be loved and cuddled! He's an amazing, goofy fluffball and he loves everyone he meets!

Now, that's not to say that Martin won't need a little bit of your time dedicated to training - he gets excited and jumps up for attention with a big "whomp" when he hits your chest with those big front paws.  He also tries to get you to play by grabbing your hand or arm in his mouth.  We're working on teaching him some leash manners, too.  Martin may be a little overwhelming for young children because of this, but he's all love at heart!

I should probably take a moment to mention the fur.  Martin is a big, fluffy dog.  And he sheds - a lot!  When he flops down in your lap for a cuddle, you're covered in white fluff! Frequent brushing is going to be a way of life with Martin in the house - a good vaccuum cleaner and stock in "Swiffer" products are preferred.  If you're very particular about your home or your clothes, Martin probably isn't going to be the right dog for you.  He's going to want to be up on the couch with you when you watch TV (hey, the don't call it "fur"niture for nothing!) and shedding is going to be a way of life with this dog.  Although this can be a lot of work, the benefits will far outweigh everything else!  Martin is a special boy who will quite simply be the most amazing dog you'll ever share your life with! 

If you're looking for a large, fluffy goofball to add to your family, we'd love to meet you!  You can visit the shelter during our adoption hours: Thursdays 5-7pm, Saturdays & Sundays 12-3pm.
