Einstein still needs a home!

This Einstein. He is a fun loving 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He loves to play with toys, you can see a couple of more photos of him under “available dogs”. Einstein is a bit spoiled, he wants to be the only dog, he doesn’t care much for cats and doesn’t really like small children… pretty much anyone or anything that might take attention away from this cute guy – does not make him very happy. We would love to find Einstein a home for Christmas. He really is a lover boy and deserves everything he requires If interested, please come by and meet him, fall in love with him and take him home!

Foster Homes Needed!

We have more female dogs with puppies arriving in our adoption center next week (12/14). They will need to stay in foster homes until the puppies are old enough to be spayed / neutered and get their shots (approx. 8 weeks) If interested, please call our adoption center (801) 355-7387 and come by to fill out an application. Fostering puppies is very rewarding if you like puppy kisses!

Thank you!
