Puppies for adoption

Fortunately five puppies found furever homes today, but three boys remain at the shelter for adoption.

Adoptions are always low - only $35. The shelter will work with the new owners post-adoption to set up neuter appointments. Unfortunately due to limited resources and kennel space, they're unable to alter the dogs prior to adoption.

Meet King
