Hello, My name is Harrison.
Now that my "wheelie" brother from another mother, Luke has found his forever home in Florida, I thought I would see if my people are out there.
I'm not one to brag. But, you know, people talk when they think you're not listening. Boy have I heard some things about me! Let me tell you a few:
"Harrison is one of the sweetest, most loving dogs I've worked with. He loves to snuggle but is also hell on wheels! (in the best way)."
"When Harrison is out of his wheels and running around the play yard, he would give Peter Cottontail a run for his money with the way he hops."
"Harrison is a lover and very smart. Some of his favorite things are food, outside walks in his chair, food, people, food, attention, food, and the never missing stuffed animal he carries."
Now for the boring stuff.
November 2022 could have been better for me. I was found in a ditch by a caring soul after being hit by a car. That's when St Francis stepped in to provide my medical care, rehab, and love. Lots of love!!
I like most dogs. But, I may be just a tad too interested in cats.
Got food? I'll train with you. Remember someone says I was smart.
Got kids? I'll play with them. I love little hoomans... As long as I get some exercise. I'm a big boy and without the use of my back legs, I sometimes can't stop once I get going. I could knock little ones down by accident.
Got time and patience? This 55 pound, 2-year-old, proud Boxer needs some embarrassing help. You see, I need help to ... ... ... pee n poop. It's not hard to help me. My friends here at St Francis will be happy to teach you, and with practice you'll soon be a pro!
I have so much love to give, sometimes I think my heart will explode if I don't get a family of my own. I already have wheels that i LOVE and if you take me home, you get to take those, too.
Got questions? Have your people call my people.
Can't resist me? Fill out an application and let's meet.

Nova is not just a name; but a testament to her resilience as the shining star of St. Francis! This 2-year-old female pit bull mix arrived at our shelter in August, a survivor of severe neglect. Despite her challenging past, Nova has emerged stronger, healthier, and ready to light up a new home with her playful energy.
If you're a fan of fetch, Nova is the perfect playmate. Watching her chase after a ball with pure delight is not only heartwarming but also a reminder of the transformative power of love and care.
This charming girl has mastered the art of taking treats with gentle precision. Nova's loving personality shines through in every interaction, making her not just a pet but a cherished family member waiting to be discovered.
Nova is potty-trained, though we always remind those who adopt dogs who have spent time in shelters or may have dealt with neglect, that they may need a refresher course as shelter life is very different as they adjust to a new home and schedule.
Nova has shown compatibility with dogs of similar size during her time at the shelter, however we always recommend a meet and greet as well as a home visit for potential adopters who already have other pets in the home. Each furry friend has their own unique personality, and we want to ensure a harmonious home for all.
As you consider welcoming Nova into your home, remember that you're not just adopting a dog; you're providing a second chance for a beautiful soul who has triumphed over adversity.

Meet Beau.
Beau is very shy and nervous until he warms up to you.
Once he trusts you he is very sweet and playful. He is a cuddler and loves to snuggle up against your face. He will be your "shadow" once he gets acclimated.
We believe he would be good with kids, dogs and cats and easily trained.
He is trying his best to keep a clean kennel so he should easily potty train with some time and effort.
Due to Beau's shyness he will require patience in the beginning but we guarantee he will be worth it.
Complete an application as this handsome boy is waiting.
