Did someone say it’s time for a five mile jog?? If so, Ken is likely your running companion. He’s just barely a year old and full of fun, energy and zoomies. He’s learning a ton of obedience as a new student in our Mutts with Manners program and promises to keep studying hard and practicing with anyone who wants him part of their family. Ken will get you up off the couch to throw the ball, hike in the woods and pick you up when you’ve had a long day. Come check him out at Lake Normane Humane.

Update: ADOPTED!

Hi, I’m Bolt, a ridiculously adorable 3-month-old white Chihuahua mix with a fluffy long coat, tiny paws, and a personality that simply refuses to fit in my little body!

I may be small, but I’ve got BIG puppy energy, BIG curiosity, and an even BIGGER heart! I’m playful, adventurous, smart, and always ready to see what fun is happening next. But my favorite place? Right beside my people. I’m a certified Velcro pup, and if you’re moving, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll be moving with you!

Bolt is available for adoption. We do not do holds and we do work on a first come first served basis,. Adoption is subject to meet and greet approval, no application process. If you have another dog, please bring them for a meet and greet. His adoption fee is $400, this includes his neuter, up to date shots and prevention up to time of adoption, microchip, age appropriate testing, a take home bag of goodies, and your new best friend! Come by during our open hours to meet Bolt!
