Our Orphaned Puppies and Dogs for Adoption

Our shelter NOW sells all the products you need to train your dog successfully. We carry a wide range of Dog Crates for Housebreaking and Problem Behaviors such as chewing and destructive behavior. The crates are cheaper than the pet stores... so please consider buying your crates from us and support our orphans as well.

Looking for a puppy?
Pet stores in the mall and on the internet are hoping that you will be an impulse shopper and buy your puppy from them. Pet store puppies come from puppy mills which abuse and neglect the dogs they keep and produce unhealthy puppies for sale ... lots of unhealthy puppies.

Our shelter does not sell dogs - we adopt them ...there is a BIG difference...

Adoption Application/Contract Adoption Application/Contract - Review the form that you will need to read and sign when you come in to adopt an animal from us.
