Sweet Chile was found in the country pretty banged up. A kind person took her in and brought her to the shelter once we had room. She had a major ear infection and injuries most likely from being hit by a car. She is much better now and ready for her furever home. Even though she’s been through a lot, she has the sweetest personality! We believe she is around 7-8 months old. Stop in and meet her as she will be sure to give you lots of kisses! Stop in this week to meet Chile! We are open Wednesday through Friday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. If you are interested in adoption, please complete the online application before you come in to speed up the adoption process. We go in order of application received, so the sooner you get in your application, the better! Chile’s adoption fee is $50 o dogs during her special week!
