I rescued my dog Alice last June 2018. My husband and I took her to our Vet and made sure she was vacinmated and took her to a groomer. She was dirty and very hungry.. Ask them if they give free food.

are you a kill shelter?

Gary Jastremski | Oct 30, 2018
D.J. Zaba | Oct 30, 2018

This shelter does not euthanize any animals unless they have to due to certain terminal illness or injuries. They never euthanize because an animal isnt getting adopted for a certain amount of time. If that is the case then they move the animal to another shelter in hopes that someone will adopt the animal there. This shelter is very humane.

You are asking the wrong question. You have that dog which is family and a lifetime commitment. Contact dog trainers and work with them to make it a cohesive situayion. Obviously you had that dog first and should be your main concern. A shelter is no place to dump your dog. Work it out it will not take long. Possibly 1 time with a trainer. And not an expensive. Please I beg you Shelters are horific to any home lived dog. Pleade try to.work it out. PLEASE
