NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

NEW INTAKE 9/27/2026: Stilts - male - approx 2 years old - 5.14 pounds - Pug/Chihuahua mix

Reason for intake: Stilts was found on the back porch of a resident of Southern Trace. No one recognized him and apparently there are others in the area that residents are trying to catch. He is VERY SCARED and fear biting right now. We hope, given some time, he settles down... which they usually do if it's fear biting. We have contacted animal control that we have the dog.

If this is your dog you must CONTACT US for reclaiming instructions. Message our page. Not chipped, no collar.

There will be fines levied by animal control that will need to be paid upon reclamation. Stray will be up Thursday 10/1/2026 at 4pm. For reference, we named him Stilts.

WE DO NOT TAKE APPLICATIONS FOR DOGS ON STRAY HOLD. When stray hold is up, we will then POST the dog for adoption at which time you can apply.
