Lakota and Rolo
Lakota and Rolo, Batman & Robin, Rick & Morty, Timon & Pumba - whatever you want to call these two, know that together they are truly a dynamic duo! Lakota is a 1 year old German Shepard Dog and Rolo is a 4-5 year old Husky/Shepard mix. Found together in the woods of Mansfield, these two survived through a combination of wits and helpful humans who fed them. Underweight and infested with ticks and worms when caught, these two have spent time at the shelter getting healthy and are now blossoming into two very beautiful boys. Bonded through their trauma, we are looking for a home that can take them both. They are very good with other dogs and very people friendly once they get to know you. They do need a patient owner who is willing to allow them the time to get comfortable in their new surroundings and who will train them and provide the guidance and encouragement needed for them to be the best dogs they can be. A fenced in yard is 100% a necessity for these two as they are still working on leash walking, and no children under the age of 10 due to their size.

Private Adoptions - Dogs NOT at the Shelter
The dogs below are NOT at the shelter, so please don’t call the shelter. Volunteers have no additional information. For more information, use the email contact provided in the dog’s description. Adoption fees and policies for these dogs are not the same as the shelter’s.

Chere
Meet Chere. This little Beagle mis is 14 weeks old and a wee 7 pounds. When Chere was found she had a slight limp. X-rays showed she was born missing a bone in her leg. Now that Chere has grown a bit, you cannot tell anything is wrong with her. She runs and plays just like any other puppy. Chere is crate trained and working on her house training. Chere likes other dogs and is fine with children. Due to her small size, we would prefer a home with children over 10 years of age. Chere is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped.
Chere is not at the shelter, so please don’t call there. If interested in adopting, email: depauls339@gmail.com For adoption fees and adoption criteria, check with the contact, because the policies are not the same as the shelter’s

Jersey Girl
This s is a very special little dog. Jersey-Girl was abandoned in a field with her 3 siblings, and because of her nurturing personality, she was the caretaker of all. For a little Toy Fox Terrier mix, weighing only 9-10 pounds, this was quite a job. After quite a while on their own, this little family was rescued and now it is Jersey-Girl's turn to be cared for and loved. She is affectionate, gentle, and after all that has happened to her - loves people. She has a wonderful little spirit. Jersey-Girl is as close to perfect as they come. I am looking for a special person for this very special dog......to meet her is to fall in love with her! She is spayed and fully vetted.

Jersey Girl is not at the shelter, so please don’t call there. If interested in adopting, email: roxanne-h21@verizon.net For adoption fees and adoption criteria, check with the contact, because the policies are not the same as the shelter’s.

Tia Maria
Tia- Maria's pictures cannot do her justice. She is just gorgeous with a soft, silky coat. She is part of the "little family" that was abandoned in a field and left to perish. Despite all that she has been through, she is a gentle little soul who just wants a soft touch and to be with people who will love her. She is a petite 9-10 pounds and loves to lie under the shade of a tree with someone close. She can be a little shy at first, but she does blossom when she feels safe. Tia-Maria is a quiet little dog with excellent house manners. She will make someone a lovely companion. She is spayed, approximately 1-2 years and fully vetted.
