The Daviess County Animal Shelter has MANY pups that need a furever home. Don't you agree that they deserve a loving family to call their own? These dogs need to be adopted or rescued and you'll change their lives furever. This is heartbreaking, so please let's DO this!

Read the bios for each dog BEFORE inquiring to be sure they would be a good fit for your home. Also, submit an adoption application before reaching out to the shelter. If you see that perfect pup, don't wait as it's urgent that they get adopted as soon as possible.

NOW, let's meet these beautiful souls and see if you find that perfect match for your family! Ranger is a standout for sure. He melts my dog-loving heart! Miss Reba too. I can't resist those sad eyes. And, sweet Henry. What this beautiful pup has been through. They ALL deserve a chance at life. They didn't ask to be born and then tossed away like they don't matter. They DO matter and maybe you can help! I pray for you, your decision, and, of course, their sweet souls.

Meet Ranger

Ranger is a 2-year-old husky. He is a very active dog. He LOVES people and he LOVES water! He does NOT like other dogs. He cannot be adopted to a home with other dogs.

He is heartworm positive. It is mandatory for him to be treated. If adopted and the adopter is local he can be treated at the shelter at no extra cost. However, if not local it will be at your expense at your own vet. This beautiful boy is a shelter favorite!

His adoption fee is $100. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.

Shelter Volunteer, Angie Padgett shared, "He is a favorite of mine! So fun and playful. Loves his toys and the water!" She also shared a fun video of Ranger playing in the pool!
