Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.

Notes: Joseph and Ruth are with us on a legal hold, pending their trial next week. These two dogs were found killing cats, which means they will be deemed Dangerous Dogs. This means one of two things: %K Either we can find suitable adopters or a rescue for them OR they MUST be euthanized. One or the other will have to happen.
Their owner is HEARTBROKEN and DEVASTATED that his health issues will prevent him from complying with Dangerous Dog requirements and he cannot bring them home. This is the information wrote he about them. Joseph is a sweet, mischievous, energetic 3 year old Pit Bull/Boxer mix. He spent the first 7.5 months of his life crated for 12 to 16 hours a day. At 9 months he discovered the dog park and loves it. He needs to be somewhere he can run. He has been neutered but his vaccines need updating. He is very hyper around young children. He just wants to play. He is great around other dogs and breeds. We have until Nov 22nd to find placement for them. YOU CAN VISIT THESE DOGS AT SHELTER AND YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE DESERVING OF A HOME. Please reach out to us for what the Dangerous Dog requirements will entail. All adopters must comply with these requirements.SPECIAL NEEDS
