About Squirt

Squirt is a young male mixed breed dog who recently arrived from a high-intake shelter. While we’re still getting to know him, his playful demeanor shines through. He’s pending a veterinary clearance for interactions with other animals, so our staff will assess his behavior in the coming days. We're not yet sure about his training background, so patience may be required during the adjustment period. If you're interested in welcoming Squirt into your home, please submit an adoption questionnaire. Our adoption process is based on a first-come, best-match approach, so be prepared to bring all household members for the meet-and-greet. If everyone clicks, same-day adoptions are encouraged. The adoption fee of $275 covers his spay, microchip, vaccinations, and a starter bag of food to help him settle in. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
