Boy

Smart, friendly and agreeable, that’s our Boy. He’s handsome to look at with his brown shorthair coat and expressive face. At 9 months old, this Shepherd-mix is intelligent, active and enthusiastic. Boy needs an owner willing to spend the time to exercise him in a fenced-in area or on a leash and give him basic obedience training. Come meet Boy and see what a good dog he is. Boy is available through Saturday at the shelter.

Pepper

Got milk? Just look at that milk mustache! Our Pepper is a big boy who loves attention, having his longhair coat gently brushed and belly rubs! This handsome, 1-year-old, black-and-white bi-color is already neutered and ready to go to his good forever home — his adoption fee is $15. Pepper is a calm, gentle, loveable fellow. Come meet him and see for yourself. He is available through Saturday at the shelter.
