WE ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THAT RAVEN HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

Raven is a one year old Black German Shepherd who is a very loving and sweet girl. Ravens story began with me back in August when she was fostered for two months at my home. Raven came with food aggression and separation anxiety so I got to work right away to eliminate those behaviors. The food aggression quickly disappeared after Raven was no longer just given her bowl and made to work for her food. She quickly learnt that it was a privilege to get her food and not a right. Raven also was taught basic obedience where she advanced rapidly to hand signals. She is extremely intelligent and requires these kinds of daily challenges in order to keep her in a well balanced state of mind. Using the treadmill has been great for not only exercise but a challenge that requires focus, therefore draining the mind as well as body of built up energy. Raven will still show signs of separation anxiety but not anywhere close to when I first brought her home. She is house trained as well as crate trained. Raven would be ideal for an owner(s) with no small children or cats and only b/c her size and strength are no match for them. Given the proper meeting, ideally on a walk Raven is a happy go lucky girl around other dogs. If she is introduced too quickly or face to face then she feels threatened and reacts aggressively. Only until she walks side by side with the guidance of her leader will she learn that the other dog is no longer a threat and be playful and accepting of them. So in closing, Raven would require training for her separation anxiety, and her socialization with other dogs which I would be involved in every step of the way. Raven is very special to me and placing her successfully is my number one goal. Thank you for reading her story, if you have the experience and time to give to Raven and are looking for an amazing dog then I look forward to meeting you.

For all inquires...an appointment will be set up to meet Raven and Renee her trainer.

Raven requires a fully fenced yard and a home with no cats. She may be best suited to a home with no other animals.

We are thrilled to announce that Hagar was adopted after less than 24 hours at the Adoption Centre!


Hello my friends...My name is Hagar and I am a very loving senior. I am so happy to have been rescued from the cold and to be here to find my forever home.

I was found living on the streets, searching for food, by a very kind human who brought me to the shelter. I don't know why I was homeless because I'm a very affectionate guy who must have had a loving home at some time in my life. The vet figures I'm about 10 years old.

When I was rescued I had a badly infected abscess on my leg but I've had medicine that's cleared that all up. During my medical evaluation it was discovered that I have a problem called Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Since I am FIV+ I must go to a home where there are no other cats or only cats that are also FIV+. I must be kept indoors so I won’t get sick or spread the disease to other cats. FIV can not be passed on to humans or other animals.

I am a talkative gentle giant who loves big cat beds and craves lots of attention from my human friends. This enclosure is a beautiful, safe place to be but it's not the same as being free to roam around my own forever home.

If you would like to get to know me better please let one of the volunteers know and that can be arranged... You'll be happy that you did.

I’m looking forward to meeting you... Hagar

A special adoption fee of $50.00 applies for sweet Hagar.

Unfortunately, after a week of medical effort, Hobbit's organs began to shut down and his body became septic. After discussion with our veterinary technologist, it was decided that due to Hobbit's grave prognosis and suffering, he would be put to sleep. The staff at the shelter are deeply sad at the loss of Hobbit, who was loved by all and inspired many people.

Thank you to everyone who sent prayers and donations for Hobbit. You made it possible for this sweet little puppy to have a second chance at life.

Rest in peace, Hobbs the Wonder Pup. Your bravery in itself was a miracle. You will be forever remembered and missed.

My name is Hobbit and I am a 3 month old Chihuahua mix who has had a very rough start to my young life.

I was found abandoned in a cage at the door of the Humane Society a few days ago when the staff came to work in morning.

My back leg and knee were severely fractured and I was left there in excruciating pain. I was rushed to the vets and after careful examination and evaluation the decision was made to amputate my leg. The vet said I will learn to get along fine that way and I'm sure I will!

I was in a lot of pain post op but seemed to be on the road to recovery... unfortunately I took a bad turn and had to be rushed to the emergency vet clinic late Thursday night.

Further tests revealed that I am carrying the Parvo virus which attack the intestines and can be fatal. I'm at the Emergency Clinic now on intravenous medication and they are doing all that they can to save me. I'm doing my best to be strong so I can survive this attack. My leg operation went so well I sure hope this virus doesn't get me.

My vet bill is getting bigger every day and we must raise the money to pay for it. It's going to cost about $3000.00 to try to save my life.

I'm doing the best I can to be strong and get well so I can get on with learning to walk on my three legs and find my forever home.

I HOPE YOU CAN HELP!!

Thank you.......

Hobbit aka Hobbs the Wonder Pup (as named by his foster mom)
