My story

"Pocket is a charming and funny pup that is filled with curiosity, playfulness, and affection. He is an adult dog who is 3 years old, friendly and just a great sized boy! He was brought in as a stray on March 13, 2025, and he has been awaiting his forever home ever since. Pocket is an incredibly sweet and handsome pup who is easy to love. He loves meeting new people and making new friends. He is a great boy who may be a little shy initially. It warms up quickly and Pocket is up to date on his vaccinations. He would be the perfect companion for a family or a single person. If you're looking for a furry friend to grow old with, Pocket is the one for you. Come and meet him today!" If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance. The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home. In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pocket, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
