FEATURED PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Bertha

Bertha LOVES to play fetch! This girl could undoubtedly go for hours, and she is an exceptional playmate. She will fetch her toy, drop it at your feet, and never try to grab it back while you’re picking it up. She knows sit and lie down and seems to be very obedient and loving. She’s super friendly, and we think she would be a wonderful companion for an active person who loves to play with their dog. Bertha is a 5-yearold, Labrador Retriever and Mastiff mix and has been at the Shelter for a year and a half.

Bruce

Bruce has been at the Shelter a little over a year. He was quite a sight upon arrival, with just patches of hair, irritated skin, and sad eyes. The staff and volunteers have loved him, medicated him, worked with him, hiked with him, and fostered him, and we can honestly say that he is a fabulous dog. He will need to stay on a specific diet to keep his allergies under control, but otherwise pretty low maintenance. Bruce is now recovered, has grown some new fur and ready to find his forever home!

The group public lessons program is a wonderful way to learn the game of tennis! Whether you’re a total beginner or an advanced player we have just the class for you!
