Meet sweet Tebow! This awesome boy came to us from

Meet sweet Tebow! This awesome boy came to us from Wise County Animal Shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter was out of space, and they were going to have to make some tough decisions. Tebow was an owner surrender and had lived with his family his whole life. Unfortunately, when he was 8 years old, he was surrendered to the shelter to no fault of his own. Unsure of where his family was, Tebow was very confused. Luckily, many people stepped in and pledged money to get this sweet boy into a rescue. That’s when Wise County Animal Shelter reached out to us, and we were able to give him a second chance. Tebow is the sweetest dog alive, and he does well with female dogs and every person he meets. He loves walks and comfy beds. When Tebow came to us, we performed a full nose-to-tail exam and blood work due to his age. Unfortunately, he was found to have early-stage kidney failure. This boy had finally gotten his lucky break, and now, unfortunately, this heartbreaking news. While this is awful, we are thankful we caught the kidney failure early, and Tebow still may have a couple of years left. He is still full of energy and happy all the time. At this time, we are looking for an adopter or a foster family for this sweet boy. For more information on Tebow, you can email adoptions@angelsofassisi.org.

If you're looking for the perfect dog with the biggest smile, look no further. This 2-year-old girl, Delilah, has it all. Her personality is so well mannered. She knows all of her basic commands and enjoys nothing more than getting to walk around town to meet and greet every single person she encounters with smiles and kisses. Not only does she love every person she meets, but she also enjoys the company of cats and dogs alike. She would do great in any age home and home with any level of activity. She truly is the perfect fit for any family. If you are looking to add an incredible family member to your loving home, please email our adoption coordinators at adoptions@angelsofassisi.org.

Meet Speed! This sweet boy was part of a rescue in

Meet Speed! This sweet boy was part of a rescue in Northern West Virginia a few weeks ago, where he was living in horrific conditions with over 100 other dogs. He is now looking for his forever home. He is about 2-years-old and eager to please. He loves to play and would do great with someone who would be willing to continue his training. He knows sit and lay down. With positive reinforcement, he picks up on new commands quickly. While he is great with everyone he meets, he would do best in a home without other dogs. If you are looking for the perfect cuddle and adventure buddy, consider adopting Speed. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/. If you have any questions about Speed, please contact our adoption coordinators at adoptjons@angelsofassisi.org.

Meet Haven! This girl is almost 5-years-old and ha

Meet Haven! This girl is almost 5-years-old and has been in and out of the shelter for nearly 4 years. Every time she thinks she has finally found her forever home, she winds up back at the shelter. This sweet girl can't catch a break. Once she gets to know you and gets comfortable with you, she is the sweetest, most loyal girl. Haven is a bit nervous at first and would love to find a home where she could be the center of someone's world. She would do best in a single-person home with limited visitors. Haven can do great in a family home with older children but would need to have her own safe place from visitors. Once Haven knows you and warms up to you, you will see her personality start to shine...loyal, loving, great walker, and your forever sidekick. If you give this girl a forever home, you will have a best friend and an incredible companion. If you think you could provide Haven with a loving, forever home, visit https://www.angelsofassisi.org/applications/ to fill out an adoption application. If you have any questions about sweet Haven, please email our adoption coordinators at adoptions@angelsofassisi.org.
