These are just some of the pets up for adoption. Please visit the shelter to meet all of the animals available.

Thank you for your interest in Leo. He is a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel Mix. Leo is a handsome guy who would do well at training classes! He can be silly and outgoing, but is very tolerant. Leo is looking for an owner who can provide him with the guidance to show him how to be a nice, well-rounded boy and give him the mental and physical stimulus he needs. He is currently enrolled in "Doggy Charm School" program at the shelter to learn basic manners. Leo would do best with someone with some dog experience, and children over 8 years. Currently, Leo weighs 37 pounds.

Thank you for your interest in Angela. She is a 10 year old Bichon Frise Mix. Angela is a bit confused with her change in environment, surrounded with strange new people, sights, and sounds—but if you spend some time with this sweet girl, she warms up nicely! Angela is looking for an owner who can help build up her confidence in busy settings, and make her comfortable. Angela would do best with someone with some dog experience, and children over 8 years. Currently, Angela weighs 13 pounds.

Thank you for your interest in Morgan & Molly. She is a 9 year old Jack Russell Terrier Mix. Morgan and her “sister” Molly are a bonded pair looking for a home together! These two are a spry and fun pair who act half their age and will make you laugh with their busy ways. Morgan (9 Years – Jack Russell Terrier) has a spring in her step and will not hesitate to jump into your lap for attention! Molly (11 Years – Shih Tzu) is an independent gal, who doesn’t need people, but hangs out with them because she likes them! Both Morgan and Molly have had geriatric blood panels done by AWLA, and no significant health problems were found on those tests. Morgan and Molly would do best with someone with some dog experience, and children over 8 years. Currently, Morgan weighs 24 pounds, and Molly weighs 10 pounds.

Thank you for your interest in Patches. She is a 10 year old Lab. A sweet, affectionate, and mature lady, Patches is looking for that special someone ready for snuggles and play--especially fetch--in equal doses. Patches can be somewhat protective of those items she considers valuable, and so, Patches would do best in a household with older children, those over eight years of age. This well-tempered and tolerant lady is 48 pounds, and frequently treating her to her favorite pastime, chasing tennis balls, will help keep Patches trim and fit.

Thank you for your interest in Cash. He is an 8 month old Rott Mix. Cash shows duck-like enthusiasm for the wading pool, splashing in the water with his paddle-sized paws, and comparable zest for rollicking and fun. A young, big, goofy boy, Cash will need plenty of positive discipline and physical activity to keep him well-mannered and busy. Cash is 57 pounds of fun and growing, and in today’s economy who wouldn’t like a little extra Cash?

Thank you for your interest in Sugar. She is an 8 year old Cocker Spaniel. As her name might suggest, Sugar is as sweet as pie and pretty as a picture. Given up by her previous owner, Sugar is feeling a little out-of-sorts as any lady might given the change of circumstances and seems a bit aloof around new folks. But with her sweet disposition, Sugar is sure to charm once she’s warmed up to the prospect of making a new—and hopefully forever--friend. Sugar currently weighs 36 pounds.

Thank you for your interest in Cali. She is a 2 year old Jack Russel Terrier. Cali is the best of both worlds! A playful, active dog with a “fetching” personality—just bring out a ball and watch her go—and an affectionate little lady who can snuggle and cuddle with the best of them. Cali was brought to the shelter when her previous family moved, and the change in surroundings has left her confused and timid, but once a ball and the prospect of a rousing game of fetch enters the picture, Cali’s confident, athletic nature shines through. So, if you’ve been looking for a new agility or fly-ball partner, you may have met your gal! While Cali has lived well with other dogs, finding that right mix of canine personalities will be important for Cali who has been slow to tolerate the introduction of those who are unknown to her. Because Cali shows some timidity and shyness, especially in new situations, she is best suited to a home with children 8-years old and older who can appreciate her cautious approach to unfamiliar environments. Cali currently weighs 22lbs.

Thank you for your interest in Marley. He is a 1 year old Labrador Retriever Mix. Talk about potential; Marley’s got it! This good-natured and funny boy already knows to “sit”, “shake” and “lay down”, and shows real promise to learn and follow commands. Marley adores squeaky toys and playing ball (he might even bring it back with a little training and effort), but he also settles down nicely for a bit of snuggling. With all this potential, Marley needs a family who is willing to work with him to discourage roughhousing and redirect rambunctious behavior and to encourage a well-mannered temperament and gentlemanly disposition. Marley can be placed with a family with children 8-years old and older and would do best in a home where he has earn his keep—learning that good behavior is rewarded and “nothing in life is free”, including treats and toys. Marley currently weighs 43lbs.

Thank you for your interest in Wall-E. He is a 2 year old Shar Pei Mix. Wall-e is a calm and collected, dignified gent, more steadfast and stoic in nature than romping and rollicking. Not the type given to public displays of affection, Wall-e doesn’t have a cuddly temperment, but nevertheless shows the potential to be a true and faithful companion who will likely bond strongly with one or two particular people. Independent-minded and somewhat aloof, Wall-e would be best suited to a home with children no younger than 8 years of age who are able to respect his need for personal space. Wall-e currently weights 53 pounds.

Thank you for your interest in Louie. He is a 3 year old Chihuahua Mix. Though he may be little, Louie is nobody’s “purse dog”. Louie should be out and about meeting new friends and perfecting his social skills, not tucked away where he can’t interact with the big, wide world. Surrendered to AWLA because his previous family was deployed, Louie is a bit shy in his new surroundings, but is affectionate and playful once he has the chance to warm up to you. Louie tends to be a “one-person” kind of dog, bonding with one favorite person, but would probably enjoy the attention of a whole family, especially one in which he learns to work with and for his people to earn treats and rewards. Since Louie is particular about whom he bonds with and who handles him, as well has demonstrating anxious behavior (for example, growling) around men, he would do best with a family with children 8 years of age and older. Louie weighs 7 pounds.
