Axel needed to be released to us by his owner who needed to change his life due to medical reasons. We have been allowing Axel to decompress at the shelter for a few months now. He is an adult (7-8 y/o) calm, cautious, somewhat timid until he knows you type-of-fella. He is a healthy boy and was just neutered. Axel will need a quiet home, a gentle touch, calm, slow and steady going especially for the first few months as he settles in to a new loving life. He's had a few bumps in the road. We want to set him up for success! Therefore This guy needs to be your only pet. No children, no cats, no dogs, etc.
An "empty nest" quiet home would be perfect for him. If you have interest in this type of big guy, stop in and speak with our staff to learn more about him. Axel is loved and we all want him to have a home where he can be a couch potato for his golden years.
Stop in to fill out an adoption application and spend as much time as you like with our dogs. If you have a dog already and are looking to add another to your family, please come without your dog for the first meeting. If that goes well, we will set up another meeting with you and your dog to ensure we that we have an available volunteer to supervise the dog meeting and make sure they are a good match. We do not adopt first come; we always adopt to the best home for our animals and require approval from our dog committee. If you rent, bring proof (lease/contract) that you can have a dog. Also bring your Vet's information to so we can conduct a vet check (and please let your Vet know we will be making a call).
Our adoption fee is $150.00 for dogs. Our animals are fully vetted before being placed for adoption, and spayed/neutered if they are old enough. If they are too young for spay or neuter, we require a $50 deposit that will be refunded upon proof that the pet has been altered.
