38 Dogs, 38 Chances: Calhoun County Animal Center Needs the Community’s Help

Right now at the Calhoun County Animal Center, 38 dogs are waiting for someone to walk through the doors and choose them.

Some are young and full of energy. Others are older, calmer, and simply looking for a soft place to land. Every one of them has a story, and every one of them deserves a happy ending.

Among the dogs currently looking for homes are

Daisy, a sweet Mastiff-type girl weighing in at 90 pounds with soulful eyes and a gentle spirit.

Heather, a friendly hound-type dog, offers the perfect mix of playful energy and loyal companionship.

Silver, a younger terrier-type pup, is full of curiosity and ready for adventure.

Cindy Lou, just 10 to 12 months old, still has all the puppy excitement and would love to grow up with a family of her own. Then there’s

Tobin, a small Shih Tzu-type senior who could be the perfect lap dog for someone looking for a quieter companion.

And these five are only part of the story.

The shelter says many of these dogs have been overlooked simply because there are so many waiting.

Some may need a little extra patience, some may need a yard to run in, and some just need someone willing to give them a chance. Shelter life can be stressful, and even the happiest dogs can begin to lose hope after too much time in a kennel.

Adopting a shelter dog doesn’t just save one life, it opens space for another animal in need.

It also brings incredible rewards. Shelter dogs often form deep bonds with their adopters, showing gratitude, loyalty, and love in ways that are hard to describe.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a dog to your family, now is the time to visit.

Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a couch companion, or a playful best friend for the kids, there’s a good chance your perfect match is waiting at the Calhoun County Animal Center right now.

Sometimes changing a dog’s life only takes one visit.
