🐾 Meet Wishbone, the energetic, heart-of-gold Pit Bull mix who just zoomed into our lives! 🐾 Wishbone is a friendly guy who is eager to please, already showing off his knowledge of the "sit" command. While he can be a little antsy and excited right now, he is very receptive to staff members and absolutely loves a good connection. We don't have much history on this handsome fellow, but his happy demeanor and social nature speak volumes. He's ready to jump, wiggle, and snuggle his way into a loving, active home that can provide him with the exercise, continued training, and patience he needs to blossom into the best family member he can be. If you're looking for an enthusiastic companion to join your adventures, come meet Wishbone!

"PINKY & The BRAIN" *FIELD TRIP!! *DELIGHTFUL DUO* *white/blue-eyed* HUSKY sisters "MCAS"

 Pinky and her sister are said to be a fun and entertaining Husky pair.  If you are active and love entertaining dogs, please visit them!

  MCAS needs to spay/neuter all dogs before adoption, especially the females and purebred dogs! They have had years to resolve this issue. Upper management is failing the animals and community.  

MEANWHILE - these poor shelter dogs need good homes! Please visit them.

*recommend no cats 

 Introducing Pinkie and The Brain, a delightful duo of female husky mixes who are ready to steal your heart! This friendly and active pair came to us as strays, and while we don't know much about their past, it's clear they adore each other. They would love to find a home where they can stay together, but they can also be adopted separately to the right families. Pinkie and The Brain are full of playful energy and would thrive in an active household with plenty of room to run and explore. Whether they're playing fetch in the yard or going for a long hike, these two are always up for an adventure. They have sweet and social personalities, and might get along with other dogs. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion (or two!), Pinkie and The Brain might just be the perfect match for you 
 
The 2 girls happily joined volunteer friends on a field trip recently
