I adopted my puppy here over a year and a half ago, and it was the best decision I ever made. The shelter was great in assisting me with the dog. They'll give you a list of vets where you can get a free initial checkup for your dog. The dog will be spayed and have all its shots before you adopt it. You're also welcome to bring your dog back if there are any problems. My dog did have kennel cough, but my vet gave me antibiotics and she was fine after a couple weeks of TLC. There are so many beautiful dogs to adopt here, including HUSKIES, german shepherds, and other animals. Don't buy dogs...adopt!
