Stevie is a lovely 5-year-old yellow Lab. Her previous owners felt that she "was too much work." Stevie seems overwhelmed by the shelter environment, but relaxes and comes out of her shell when she's outside. Stevie needs exercise, love and consistency in her life to thrive. She would be great for an active family that enjoys the outdoors as much as she does, or someone who is looking for a walking partner. She is housetrained and likes children and other dogs. Stevie's ID# is 47696.

Lady is an awesome 2-year-old German shepherd. Great girls like this usually get adopted pretty quickly, and she did ... twice. Lady seems to be having trouble finding the right owner. Her first adopter discovered that Lady had picked up a cold, and Lady was brought back to the shelter because the new owner didn't want to care for a sick dog. Lady got well and was adopted a second time. She was again brought back; this time because she needs some remedial work on housetraining. Animals, like humans, sometimes need help when they are sick, and sometimes need patience and guidance when they forget. Some humans would be very frustrated and confused by being bounced around like Lady has been, but she is a dog, and she has an amazing capacity to adapt, forgive and love. She needs a human with a matching willingness to be patient and loving with her. How about you? Visit her today! Her ID # is 47353.

He is also housetrained. Benson would love for yours to be his forever home. His ID# is 47485.
