Featured Adoptables
These beautiful souls are waiting patiently for a place to call home.
Zoey
Dog · Pit Bull Mix · Female · 6 months +/-
Urgent-Needs Foster We don't know a lot about Zoey yet, because we took her in from somebody who was keeping her tied up, was going to be moving, and planned to leave her behind. We have her in boarding right now. She is still a puppy, so she is high energy and needs training. Once she has a foster or adopter, we will enroll her into training. She will also be spayed and microchipped at that time. She's a beautiful dog with gorgeous markings, and is ready for a forever home. Please complete an application at www.angelstotheanimals.org.

His sweet, goofy personality will steal your heart in an instant. Looking for a loyal best friend to brighten your days? Come meet Finn today and let the fun begin! The best fit for Finn is in a home with a large, fenced yard to run, play, and a family who has time to give him lots of attention, structure and love.
