Jackson is a 12-year-old Puggle mix, seeking a family of his own to spend his golden years with. This gentle boy enjoys going for walks but is more of a “lay back and relax” type of guy. Once you meet Jackson, he’s certain to run away with your heart.

Jackson loves spending time with people and sitting outside where he can greet visitors at the shelter and make new friends. He also enjoys rolling in the grass and snuggling at your side. If Jackson sounds like your kind of guy, stop into Little Shelter to meet him today!

Dingo is a large white and tabby cat with an unusual face that makes him look like he’s squinting. He is a very affectionate boy who loves getting chin scratches and will follow his favorite staff members around. This guy is a gentle giant who is just looking for someone to love him and spoil him the way he deserves. 

lola

Lola is a 5-year-old Lab/Pit mix who is a big mushy girl that just wants attention. She is always eager to get a back scratch. Lola feels a need to be very close with the people she loves. If she sits next to you she always needs to sit on your foot and lean into your side!

Her favorite thing in the world is rolling in warm, fresh from the dryer blankets. Lola’s favorite past time is running at top speed in Little Shelter’s dog park where she can let loose and get all her energy out. She’s a great dog and knows some of her basic commands, but is looking for a family who is committed to continuing her training and spending time with her.
