Our Residents : Canines

Welcome to our Canine Resident Gallery!  We have an amazing collection of ages, shapes, sizes and personalities.  We truly have someone for everyone!  We love our residents more than anything in the world, and our ultimate goal for each and every one of them, is to find them their Forever Home, or at least a wonderful Foster Home.  In each dog's biography, you will find their personal statistics, as well as a real-time accounting of how long they've been at ARC.  

If you see a dog labeled “Multi-Year Resident”, then that means exactly that! These are pups that, for whatever reason, have been with us for more than a year and really, really need a forever home. Often times, they are simply overlooked. They are safe and loved with us at ARC, but that’s still no substitute for a true home. Please consider these pups FIRST, when looking to adopt!

Dogs marked Medical Hold are usually on our mandatory 10 day intake quarantine.  

Dogs with a Red Ribbon on their bio photo are undergoing treatment for heartworms, and more information is available in their biography.  

Dogs marked Bio Pending are on site to meet, and just haven't had all of their biographical details updated yet.

Dogs marked Adop Pending have recently been adopted, but we wait a couple of weeks before removing their bio to make sure their new home is working out. Please do not send applications for dogs labeled as “Adop Pending”. These application will NOT receive a reply unless that animal is returned. Thank you.

FYI:  Our office is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.  If you apply on either of these days, your application will not be seen by our adoption staff until Wednesday at the earliest.  Additionally, adoptive homes are chosen based on who we deem to be the BEST HOME for the animal, and NOT on a first come/first served basis.  We also only adopt to within a 1-2 hour radius from our shelter. Our adoption contract requires that our animals be returned TO US if the adoption doesn’t work for any reason. This is much easier for most people to comply with when they’re relatively local to ARC. Unfortunately, this sometimes causes hard feelings.  We apologize, but please understand that our only goal is to find the absolute best home for our animals. 

Thank you.
