10630 Umi in kennel 876
Umi came to us originally in June of last year with her “brother.” They were reclaimed by their owner that day, but her brother came back on November 20th and was not reclaimed this time. Umi came back in on December 3rd and was not reclaimed either. Her brother has been adopted, so now it’s Umi’s turn to get her forever home!

15512 Alfie in kennel 808
Alfie was brought to the shelter on December 6th after spending a few days with the person that found him wandering their neighborhood. Both the finder and our staff/volunteers believe him to be housebroken, so that’s a good sign that he is. Our volunteers also say he is calm and sweet and walks nicely on leash. One volunteer says he is “truly a fine young fella!”
Alfie’s Stats:
6 years old

Heartworm negative
Up to date on DHPP and Bordetella vaccines
51 pounds at last weigh in
61 days in shelter

15541 Athena and 15542 Mulan in kennel 58
These “sisters” were surrendered on December 7th because their owner had a housing issue. Both of them were on the nervous side, but they seem to have opened up since coming to the shelter. Our volunteers think they are both very sweet and easy to walk. Athena and Mulan don’t have to be adopted/rescued together, but it would be wonderful if they could stay together in their next chapter.
Athena’s Stats:
6 years old
Spayed
Heartworm negative
Up to date on DHPP and Bordetella vaccines
55 pounds at last weigh in
53 days in shelter

15583 Sandor in kennel 57
A nice police officer found Sandor on December 9th and brought him to the shelter. We don’t know why he hasn’t been snatched up yet. He has the most beautiful eyes that will make your heart melt with one look! It sounds like his previous family trained him pretty well, though. He knows some commands, like sit, up, and down, and he can even catch treats that are tossed to him. Come get this sweet boy!
Sandor’s Stats:
6 years old
Neutered
Heartworm negative
Up to date on DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines
60 pounds at last weigh in
58 days in shelter

15632 Gus in kennel 29
Gus came to the shelter on December 12th as a stray. His history isn’t clear, but it’s possible that he was living out of a car with his owner until a Good Samaritan volunteered to take him in to bring him here. Volunteers have awesome things to say about him: Gus is referred to as an “official A+ dog,” and a “handsome, lovable, gentleman.”
Gus’s Stats:
1 year old
Neutered
Heartworm negative
Up to date on DHPP and Bordetella vaccines
50 pounds at last weigh in
