    1. Your request will be sent to the director along with your email address. If the HS gets a Brittany Spaniel we will let you know.
      In the meantime you can check out all dogs for adoption at Petango. Thanks for your interest in helping to adopt a shelter pet.

  1. I tried to download application for adoption several times. It said “site not found”.

    1. I just clicked on the pdf link and the application appeared. I’m sorry I don’t know why it’s not appearing for you. The link is on the Adoption Process page in the first bullet.

      1. I have also tried to fill out an application on line and wanted to send it via email but “site not found” keeps appearing. This is frustrating and not satisfactory!

  2. We were able to get Dixie a week ago and absolutely love her. She loves to play and is very smart. We were hesitant at first because it alerted that she was not good with cats but took the chance anyway. Being she is very smart and trainable just a quick command of no and be good is all it takes. She sleeps with my wife and I and is spoiled rotten. Thanks for taking great care of her while she was there we are absolutely blessed to have her.

    1. Please look at the Petango site and you can type in your zip code and the types of dogs you are looking to adopt. Sometimes we get boxers, however the City Shelter usually has many pits that need living homes and they don’t get adopted often. If you don’t see any dogs right now, please check back on Petango often as new dogs are added every week. Thank you so much for wanting to adopt instead of shopping from a breeder!

      1. We do not have a shihtzu at this time.

        Please go to the website Petango and put in your zip code and the site will show you what is available in your area. You should check back every week as there are dogs coming in on a daily basis. There may not be a pure bred shihtzu available but there may be a dog that is a mixed breed and similar. You might also try a shihtzu rescue organization.
        Good luck and thank you for your interest in adopting.

  3. I really love your site.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you make this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my own personal blog and would like to find out where you got this from or just what the theme is called. Many thanks!

  4. I absolutely love your site.. Great colors & theme. Did you create this amazing site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping to create my very own website and would like to learn where you got this from or just what the theme is named. Thanks!

  5. I understand that you rescued some Pugs from a hoarder home. I would like to adopt one if possible. I live in Shawnee, OK, and would be happy to drive down and pick one up.

    1. John,

      Please call the shelter and speak to our director Cheryl Miller. There is also an application on the website that you will need to complete and submit. Thank you so much for your interest.

    1. Please look on the Adoption Process page. You can download the application which will give you more information. Thanks for your interest.

  6. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d without a doubt donate to this brilliant
    blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding
    your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to
    fresh updates and will talk about this site with my Facebook group.
    Talk soon!

    1. Go to Petango and select the breed of dog you’re looking for. If there is on there it will pop up. You can also go to Rescue Me and select a breed and when an adoptable dog of your chosen breed shows up in a shelter they will send you an email. Good luck and thanks for wanting to adopt!

    1. You’ve come to the right place! Please visit our adoption center. We’ve got dogs of many different sizes and ages. You can take the dog inside for a meet and greet. The dogs come chipped, neutered or spayed and with their shots.

  7. Hello! Would you mind if I share your blog with my zynga group? There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Many thanks
