Animal Shelter Report: Big half-off sale on dogs for July

Published 9:00 am Monday, June 27, 2022

We have some very nice dogs at the shelter currently, but unfortunately, some of them have lingered quite a while through no fault of their own. We have had several things happen that have resulted in the shelter needing closing, and these have impacted dog adoptions. These occurrences ranged from staff illness to plumbing issues to scheduled maintenance required to keep the shelter clean and comfortable for the pets. But we have weathered these events, and are now having a half-off dog sale for the month of July to help the dogs find their forever homes.

Do you like big dogs? Well you are in luck! Our larger dogs range from Crystal, a beautiful husky, to low-rider basset mix Rudy, to pittie mixes Peaches, Goldie and Duane to Sugar, a striking all white doberman, dogo, bully mix. Taffy is a sweet and energetic puppy. We are guessing that she is a shepherd and Plott hound mix, and will grow to be a larger dog.

One of our great medium-sized dogs is Raven, a black and tan American bulldog mix. Raven came to us as a stray and has become a staff favorite because she is such a people-pleaser. Handsome red terrier mix Tango is a five month old puppy who is very friendly and playful. He loves going for walks and meeting new people. He would make a great family dog. Brita is Tango’s sister. She can be a little shy initially but warms up quickly.

For those looking for a smaller dog, Shoes might make a great choice. She is a little Chihuahua/terrier mix and is 7 year old. She is calmer than a lot of the other younger dogs, but still has a nice energy level and enjoys walks. Char would also be a good choice for someone wanting a smaller dog, She is also 7 years old, is easy to walk, and enjoys playing with other small dogs.
