Adoption Corner!

Introducing Scooby, Napoleon & Cowboy!

Beagle, 8 years old, Male

Scooby has been stealing hearts at the shelter left and right since he arrived; everybody that meets him instantly falls in love. This gentle and modest guy wants nothing more than cuddling sessions, outdoor romps, and tasty treats from his human companion. Scooby seeks a loving, calm household to enjoy his golden years.

Napoleon
If you're looking to share quiet nights in front of the TV, leisurely strolls through the park, or need a good listener in your life, Napoleon is the perfect buddy for you. This mellow guy wants nothing more than to sit by your side (or in your lap, if it were up to him!) for petting and snuggling. Although he does not prefer the company of canines, Napoleon gets along with all people he meets and would make a great family pet as the only "dog-child." Scooby and Napoleon are both available for adoption at:
