Dogs – Meet & Greet
Cats – Yes
Kids – Yes
Sheila is a 6-year-old American Bulldog mix with the biggest smile you've ever seen and a full-body wiggle that will absolutely make your day.
She recently graduated from the Paws & Think program, a weeklong training experience in which shelter dogs work with youth participants and a professional trainer to learn real skills through positive reinforcement. Think of it as finishing school, but make it adorable. This girl was a total rock star. She picked up new skills quickly, loved every second of the challenge, and formed a genuine bond with her teenage trainer. She thrives when she has consistency, engagement, and someone in her corner.
When she's not busy being an overachiever, Sheila loves toys, will happily grab a chew and entertain herself on the couch, and she recently passed her cat test with flying colors.
Sheila has done the work. She has the skills. She just needs her person. Could that be you?

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
