We count on your donations to continue our life-saving work. As a non-profit organization with no paid staff members, our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly on behalf of local animals. And our efforts are paying off. Our innovative programs have been credited with reducing the number of animals who are euthanized at our local animal control facility. Our dream is that one day, no adoptable animals will be killed in area shelters. We thank you for helping us realize this dream.Visit the donation page to see where your money goes.
Java is a 1yr old, female, Shih Tzu who is looking for a gentle home. She likes to go for walks and once she knows you, she is active, plays with little toys and does not like being left alone. Java is a darling girl who is crate trained, good in the car and likes to go for walks. She is unsure sometimes but warms up if you give her time to adjust to a new situation. She has done okay around other small dogs that that are considerate of her. If you have a dog at home, they will need to come visit her so we can see how Java will do. She likes to snuggle with her people, is treat motivated for training and if you are busy, she will go chew on a bone. Java has had a vet exam to follow up from an eye issue and the vet says she is healing well and might have a small scar on her eye. Otherwise she is healthy and ready for a home. You can visit this pet during our Animal Viewing Hours. Applications are accepted in person at our facility after you visit this pet out of their cage.
