Gage's Story...

All of our adoptable pets are housed with foster families. When age appropriate, they have been spay/neutered, crate, leash and house trained. They have all been living in a family environment so have been evaluated for temperament and personality. We believe that we should know each pet well enough to make sure that when adopted, everyone lives happily ever after.



Gage is a neutered male Pittie who weighs 55 lbs. He  was seized in a dog fighting arrest in January 2011. At the time, he was so weak, not only from his wounds, but from hook worms, that he had to be carried. From the first he has been a friendly, sweet dog, not only to people but to other dogs and animals as well, although he will chase a kitty if it runs. Now that Gage is healthy, he loves to play and cuddle and is a handsome boy. He is house and crate trained and walks well on a leash but pulls and jumps from playfulness. Gage walks side by side with his friend, Shot Gun (another of the pitties seized at the same time) and they do well but have never been off lead together. They are crated side by side and seem fine, even at feeding time. Gage has completed a course of obediance and is very good with all shapes and sizes of people but he does, occasionally have issues with other dogs and we aren't sure what the triggers are. For that reason, we would like for him to be the only dog in the family. Gage is a great dog!

Our Adoption Process...
Our adoption process has 3 steps. First we ask that you complete an application at http://www.thedeltahumanesociety.com/user/login?refererPageID=1359&keyID=1105&referer=/forms/form.phpQu8formid=1105Am1requirelogin=Yes
Once the application has been completed, we ask to do a brief, informal home visit. Once that has been completed, and you have been approved, you will be able to take the pet home for a sleepover that can last for up to 10 days. If you are satisfied that the pet is compatible with your family members, other pets and lifestyle, we will make the adoption final. Our adoption fees vary but the average is $250.00. The pet will have been spayed or neutered, have completed all of his vaccinations and be ready to go to your home. Finally, you must sign a contract that if, at any time during the life of the pet, your situation changes, it must be returned to us or we must give approval if you have a potential home. You can get more details on our web site.
