Both newly-elected Council members were sworn in on May 13.

- Scout is a 2-year-old male Australian cattle dog/labrador retriever. He’s a charming friend that is agile and energetic. He loves fly ball or any activity that requires a bit of energy and presents a good challenge. He gets very excited to meet new people and would do best in a home with older children. Scout is crate trained and would love a big yard to play in.

- Kodak is a 2-year-old male German Shepard. Kodak was found with a severe tail injury that required amputation. He is a sweet dog that enjoys always being around people. He knows how to ‘sit,’ walks well on a leash and is kennel trained. He is friendly to other humans but may be nervous around other pets.

- Tonka is a 2 year, 8-month-old male Shepard Mixed Breed. Tonka is good on a leash, can ‘sit,’ and is very active. He is also crate trained. He can be protective of his space when it comes to other animals but is very friendly around humans.
