  • Gender: Male- Neutered!
  • Weight: 66 pounds
  • Impound Date: 7/24/10
  • Ledger #: 30806

Hello World! My name is Jasper. I am a very sweet boy! My owners left me here but I am not sure why. They said something about moving and that they couldn’t take me with them.  I guess I need to find a new family! I am a bigger boy that very sweet. I love to snuggle up to you and give you lots of kisses. With all the strange noises and smells at this place, I am a little nervous but I am sure I will get more comfortable soon. Some nice girls gave me a bath and helped pull out some of the knots in my fur. I tried to be good for them because it felt so good to get the those pulled out (they were really pulling my skin)!  I have lived outside for most of my life but I will try my best not to mess in the house when I go with my new family. I am a quick learner and I love when people praise me (especially with belly rubs! :) ). I like to play with other dogs and little kids don’t frighten me. It’s actually a lot of fun to play with them! I hope you come to meet me soon! I would love to go home with you!

Update: Jasper is such a wonderful little boy. I took his pictures right before I sat down with him and brushed his coat out (so he still looks messy :( ). He is such a wonderful fellow. Jasper enjoyed being brushed so much that he would follow me around to make sure that I continued brushing him. He would lean against me and give me great big kisses. This is such a sweet boy. For 66lbs, Jasper is as gentle as they come! Don’t miss out on making this sweet boy part of your family today!

7/25: Jasper is completely out of time and the pound is very full! He has ZERO applications and no rescues backing him up. Please don’t hesitate to meet him.

7/28: Still NO applications and NO rescues on this handsome guy. His time is up :( He is heartworm negative, so things are looking good!

There is sponsorship money on this sweetie. Email Allyson at athenpets@gmail.com if your licensed rescue group saves him. I will put you in touch with his sponsor. Please hurry!!!!!!!  He is OUT of time!

Good news, Jasper is Heartworm negative! Jasper has sponsorship money that will go to the licensed rescue group that saves him. If your rescue group saves Jasper please contact Allyson at athenspets@gmail.com and she will put you in touch with the sponsor. Please act quickly he is completely out of time.

308091

  • Age: 4 years
  • Breed: Rottweiler Mix
  • Gender: Female
  • Weight: 61 pounds
  • Impound Date: 7/25/10
  • Ledger #: 30809

Chloe has a gorgeous black coat with tan sleeves on her legs. Chloe is a very shy little girl that is also sweet and calm. It looks like Chloe has not been taken care of for sometime now. Chloe is in need of lots of TLC both physical and emotionally. Chloe shies away at first but once she figures out that you are not going to hurt her, she snuggles right up. She is very smart, she knows how to sit when you have a treat or toy. She also is very polite on leash and does not pull. She would probably do best as a single dog. When walking, she tends to growl slightly under her breath at other dogs. Chloe is an owner surrender so her time is very limited.  Come meet this sweet girl today!

7/25: Chloe is completely out of time and the pound is very full! She has ZERO applications and no rescues backing her up. Please don’t hesitate to meet her.

7/28: Still NO applications or rescue groups coming to get this girl. Her time is up.

  • Breed: Labrador/Pit Mix
  • Gender: Male
  • Weight: 50 lbs
  • Impound Date:  7/25/2010
  • Ledger #: 30816

This lab mix was as sweet as can be. He likes to play and would probably do well in a home with other dogs or in a one dog family where he will get all of the attention he deserves.  We walks well on a leash and being only 2 years old, has a ton of energy in him for any active family.

7/27: Shadow is completely out of time and the pound is very full! He has ZERO applications and no rescues backing him up. Please don’t hesitate to meet him.

30817- Butler

Please use the ledger number, not the name, when calling about a dog.

3081730817b

  • Name: Butler
  • Age: 3 years
  • Breed: Pomeranian
  • Gender: Male- Neutered!!
  • Impound Date: 7/26
  • Ledger: 30817

Butler is a star here at Animal Control. He is fabulously well-behaved, and it’s virtually impossible to find a negative in this little guy. He is an owner-surrender through no fault of his own, and his time is limited. Butler is large for a Pomeranian but shares all of their characteristics, head to tail. He is already neutered and walks perfectly on the leash- hardly even one little tug! Butler, being a Pom, will need fastidious care of his coat in order not to develop painful mats and tangles. He also needs daily exercise as Poms can be active dogs, despite their ‘purse accessory’ reputation. Come visit Butler soon if you’d like to add him to your family!

3081830818c30818b

  • Name: Scarlett
  • Age: 2 years
  • Breed: Spaniel mix
  • Gender: Female
  • Impound Date: 7/26

Scarlett is a precious little lady who has been surrendered to the pound through no fault of her own. She is the perfect size for a lapdog, weighing in at 18lbs (but could stand to lose about a pound or so to remain healthier) and enjoys human company. She’s a little overwhelmed here, but had excellent manners and didn’t overstep her bounds once, instead she was just a little reserved. Since she is only two years old, it is likely she will open up and become a little more energetic in a new home once she feels more comfortable. Scarlett has a thick red coat and the most adorable underbite around! Come visit her soon- the pound is packed and she doesn’t have much time!

30820- Axel

Please use the ledger number, not the name, when calling about a dog.

3082030820b30820c

  • Name: Axel
  • Age: 1 year
  • Breed: Shepherd/ Flat coated Retriever mix
  • Gender: Male- Neutered!!
  • Impound Date: 7/26
  • Ledger: 30820

Axel is about a year old and full of life. He was surrendered to animal control after being adopted out as a pup last fall. His face and coat are that of a retriever, but his body is very German Shepherd-like. Because he’s already been through Animal Control’s doors, Axel is already neutered and microchipped! Axel has the potential to be a fabulous pet but hasn’t been given much training in his young life. He is quite large and needs to get daily exercise to get that young shepherd’s energy level down a bit. He is best-suited to an active individual who will happily match his enthusiasm and provide outlets for him to be happy- trips to the dog park, throwing the ball, nice long hikes. Nestled within Axel’s eagerness is a delightful, comical buddy just waiting for a forever home.

30789 – Fifer

Please use the ledger number, not the name, when calling about a dog.

My time is up! Hurry in to give me a forever home!

IMG 8826IMG 8847IMG 8891

  • Age: 6-12 months
  • Breed: Pit Mix
  • Gender: Female
  • Weight: 30 pounds
  • Impound Date: 7/22/10
  • Ledger #: 30789

Fifer is such an adorable girl. Check out those curious ears! Her ears are always doing something new…and she still needs to grow into them. Fifer is ready to play! She wants to play with every dog at the pound oh so badly. She would make a great playmate for a lonely dog. She is pretty rambunctious and will need leash training. You cant judge Fifer’s energy level while she’s at the pound. She doesn’t get the exercise she needs to be calm. Plus she’s just a baby. Fifer is food motivated and will sit for a treat. She will be learning all kinds of trick in no time with the amount of drive she has. Come love on Fifer soon!

Update from another volunteer: This young and beautiful, tan-colored girl is very playful. Because of her age and lack of training, she cannot walk politely on a leash just yet. Pit bulls are easily trainable and at such a young age, there is still time for her to learn. She seems very motivated to learn and be active. She showed us that when she is focused on you (and of course when a nice treat is present) she knows how to sit on command. She would probably be best paired with an active family with a dog or two, or as a single dog who gets the exercise she will need as she grows. If you think you can show this sweet girl the love she needs, please come see her and experience her playful personality for yourself.

30790 – Twiggy

Please use the ledger number, not the name, when calling about a dog.

My time is up! Hurry in to give me a forever home!

IMG 8810IMG 8799IMG 8813

  • Age: 4-6 Months
  • Breed: Doberman Mix
  • Gender: Male
  • Weight: 30 pounds
  • Impound Date: 7/22/10
  • Ledger #: 30790

Twiggy is one handsome pup. He waited patiently for me to open up his run to take him out for a walk. He started out calm on the leash, but once we got to the interaction area he was really excited to be around all the new sites and smells. Twiggy is long and lean and will need some fattening up. This lanky fella will probably grow up to be very large. He will need lots of room and exercise to stretch those long legs. He LOVES dogs and just wants to p lay with every dog in site. He would probably enjoy a home with another playmate, but will do just fine in an only dog environment as well. He is so fun and playful I bet he will excel in agility. Twiggy is an athletic dog looking for an active family. Are you the right family for Twiggy?

Update, 7/28: Twiggy has ZERO applications an no rescues backing her up. Her time is up so please visit her today- she may not have another day to wait!

Please use the ledger number, not the name, when calling about a dog.

My time is up! Hurry in to give me a forever home!

IMG 8922IMG 8906IMG 8918

  • Age: 1 year
  • Breed: Border Collie
  • Gender: Male
  • Weight: 43 pounds
  • Impound Date: 7/22/10
  • Ledger #: 30791

Donatello is one gorgeous Border Collie. He is leash trained, knows basic commands, and doesn’t jump. Poor guy seems to be lost. He has a beautiful coat that shines. Donatello could lose a few pounds, but overall he is excellent shape. Border Collies need plenty of exercise and sometimes a job to be happy. Since he isn’t fixed he wants to roam. Donatello is one sweet baby that needs a home.

Update from another volunteer: This tri-colored, handsome boy is young and very polite. He is great on the leash and seems like he has been taught how to walk nicely. When walking next to the other dogs in the run, he was calm and non responsive to their barks. Overall, he is the typical border collie. They are loyal, calm and highly intelligent. This breed also loves to be stimulated and learn new tricks and have a “job” to do. They find pleasure in being active in activities such as Frisbee, chasing another dog and playing fetch. This breed would fit best with an active family that can give him all of the exercise he needs. He is also very smart and willing to learn. When presented with a treat, he quickly sat and focused. In no time, he could be learning other commands. If you think Donatello would be a great addition to your family, please come by and see this smart boy at the shelter today!

Siddalee loves to snuggle too. This wiggly little girl is just the right size for a lap dog! She will snuggle down in your lap and play with the blades of grass while getting her belly rubbed. Siddalee would do very well in basic obedience class as well as some agility courses! Come down and meet this sweet girl today!

  • Genders: Males and Females
  • Impound Date: 7/24
  • Ledgers: 30801, 30802, 30803, 30804, 30805

The Domino kids are quite a bunch of roly-poly puppies. They’re your typical pups- chewing on nearly everything in sight, wrestling and falling asleep in big puppy-piles, only to wake up and chew on some more things ;) ! 30801, a male, is the largest an fluffiest of the puppies and also the most dominant (sometimes acting possesive over his food with his littermates- a fact to consider for homes with little to no dog experience). 30802 and 30804 are nearly identical, except ‘04 is a female! They seem to know they look alike and are quite the pair when they cuddle together. 30803 is a male with the most white on his face of the short-haired siblings. 30805 is the second-fluffiest puppy, and is a female on the smaller side compared to her siblings. They will all likely fall generously into the mid-range for size (40-55lbs). Come visit with this crowd soon- they’ve already been in animal control for a few days now and the clock IS ticking, even for adorable little puppies like this!

When walking next to other dogs in the kennels, she just sniffs and wags her tail. She shows no signs of aggression. Come and see this sweet girl today!

  • Name: Arthur
  • Age: 2 years
  • Breed: Pitbull/ Boxer mix
  • Gender: Male
  • Impound Date: 7/25
  • Ledger: 30812

Arthur is a sweetie. It was obvious he wanted out of his run, but he dd an excellent job at containing his enthusiasm as best he could and tried not to jump. Arthur didn’t react at all to the other dogs around him, even the really loud ones. Even though he can be kind of strong on the leash, if it is kept right under his cheeks/jowls, he responds well to direction. Arthur enjoyed his time in the interaction pen to sniff, go potty, and then visit with his human companions. He was a little camera-shy at the beginning, but once he was given a chance to sniff it briefly, Arthur was perfectly fine. Arthur would love to become a part of a loving family!! Come visit him soon! How can you resist- just look at that adorable, smooshy face!

  • Age: 4-6 months

  • Ledger: 30821

Rooney is a DOLL! He is absolutely fabulous: very well-mannered and respectful of space, submissive and responsive to verbal corrections, behaved on the leash and courteous at his run. Rooney is a smallish medium-sized dog but still has some growing left in order for his legs and paws to look proportionate to his body!! Rooney also has a very striking coat- endless shades of red, brown, and black, with the neatest dorsal stripes in reddish brown down his back. His ears are a hoot- always hopping around on top of his head and giving away his emotions :) Rooney would love to have a family of his own to love him and spend time with him- he truly has a personality that says, “Love me!” (And it’s easy to do!) Come see Rooney for yourself and spend some quality time with this little guy.

  • Name: Brennan
  • Age: 1 year
  • Breed: Hound/ pitbull mix
  • Gender: Male
  • Impound date: 7/25/2010
  • Ledger: 30813

Brennan is a fabulous young dog! He is just a puppy but has amazing manners for a young boy. He’s about a year old but still has some filling out to do. Brennan didn’t try to jump up once and was very well-behaved in his run. He walked pretty well on the leash, too! Unfortunately for Brennan, brindle dogs aren’t as popular as the lighter-colored ones and often find it harder to make it out of animal controls. Fortunately for him, though, Brennan is a stunner in and out! His honey eyes match the highlights in his coat perfectly. He uses those sweet peepers to pay close attention to people around him; attentiveness is a great indicator for how easily trainable a dog will be. Brennan is on the larger end of the ‘medium’ category, but with such a great attitude he can make a stellar pet for a family of ANY size.

  • Name: Andre
  • Age: 1 year
  • Breed: Chihuahua
  • Gender: Male
  • Impound Date: 7/27
  • Ledger: 30823

Andre is a little bit overwhelmed here at animal control and is beig kept in the back of the house briefly to give him time to settle in. Once he had the leash on, he was ready for adventure! He may shy away initially from contact, but if you’re calm and quiet with him he gets over himself fairly quickly. Andre LOVED going on his little walk and pranced all around. He’s got the goofiest foldy ears and serious expression (believe the floppy, bouncy ears and not the glum look on his face- he’s actually quite cheery inside!). Andre is a dear little dog who would love to get out of the scary, crowded animal control and into a calm, dependable home of his own. Come see Andre soon- and remember, if you can’t find him in the kennels, ask a member of staff!
