From the moment Parker walked through our doors, he hasn’t stopped smiling, wiggling his butt or being a very good boy.

He’s a true mixed breed, a terrier of sorts.
He’s medium sized and dog friendly .

He looks like he wasn’t given much attention in his previous life, his fur is strained and he was dirty and unkempt.

We hope his next family will appreciate the wonderful boy that he is and treat him accordingly.

You can’t help but love him!

With the increasing possibility of a winter weather event in the next couple of days, and with the expected very low temperatures, SPD wishes to remind the public of the importance of keeping your fur babies safe.

SPD will be out looking for neglected animals and violators will be dealt with accordingly.

As always, in the event of a severe weather event we will keep the community updated on road closures and safety hazards.
