🐾 MEET FREZNO! 🐾

Four-year-old Frezno has been with us for over a month while working on gaining some much-needed weight. Now, he’s completed his care, gotten a fresh new haircut, and is ready to start his next chapter! ✂️❤️

This handsome Labradoodle is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a family to call his own. Could Frezno be the missing piece to your family?

Wally is a wonderfully friendly, happy dog, and when he first arrived, our staff was sure he’d be adopted in no time...That’s why we’re all so surprised that he’s still here at the shelter! His previous owner shared that Wally did very well around children, and he's been so friendly with everyone here.
Wally would likely be happiest in a home with plenty of outdoor access—ideally a fenced yard where he can explore and play.

Come meet Wally and our other adoptables today from 12-6 PM. Don't forget that this is the last week of WAIVED adoption fees, sponsored by our friends at Joseph Subaru of Florence

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: MEET LILLY! 🐾

At 11 years old and 17 lbs., sweet Lilly is hoping someone will open their heart and home to a senior girl like her. ❤️ Shelter life isn’t where a senior dog should have to spend her golden years. Lilly deserves a soft place to land, a loving family, and a cozy spot to call her own.

Senior dogs have so much love left to give, and Lilly is hoping someone will see just how special she is. 🥹💗
