Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This handsome boy is Shorty! He's a 3 year old mix of a few breeds, possibly Basset Hound, Australian Cattle Dog & Blue Heeler Mix who's neutered, current on his vaccinations, microchipped and is house trained & crate trained and doesn't mind hanging out in his crate. He did have Heartworms but he went through treatment and is healthy & Heartworm negative! A friendly guy who likes everyone, Shorty loves other dogs, is a good boy with kids and needs a home without cats as he tends to chase them.
An affectionate young man who likes to show people how much he loves them, he's gentle and gives the sweetest kisses! He could cuddle for hours, and will, if you're in the mood, and he can never get enough belly rubs. Shorty is a pleasure to look at, he has beautiful markings on his soft fur, a huge smile, and his pretty eyes will make you fall in love quickly!
When it comes to playing, Shorty is very energetic and takes his playtime seriously! He still has some fun puppy personality left and likes to get vocal when he plays. With his energy level, he'll need daily walks to burn off energy and keep him happy & healthy. He's fun to hang out with and will be a great best friend & companion!
Shorty's been with us since last May and cant wait to find a home of his own! If you'd like to give this frisky guy with the happy smile the love & stable home he's looking for, please fill out an Adoption Application at www.jotform.us/form/31997643682166
Pound Pets, Inc. Adoption Process:
* Adoption Applications must be filled out before meeting a pet.
* We perform reference checks & vet checks. Letting them know we're calling speeds up the process.
* Once approved, you can set up a meet & greet with a pet from Granite City Animal Control or a foster home.
* If it's a good fit, we then do a home visit where you sign our Adoption Contract & pay the adoption fee, and welcome your new pet home!
* Adoption fees are $150 for dogs & $200 for puppies 6 months and younger; $80 for cats & $100 for kittens; and rabbits are $85.
* All pets are fully vetted including spay or neuter, vaccinations, Heartworm test, microchip, and cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.

PPI Granite City Animal Control: www.facebook.com/poundpetsincorporated
Pound Pets, Inc. is a small, 501(c)3 non-profit rescue that is ran by volunteers and is foster home based. PPI runs Granite City Animal Control and some of our pets reside there until they're fostered or adopted through PPI or another rescue pulls them.
Foster Homes are the backbone of PPI and are always needed! If you'd like to be a part of our Foster Team, please learn more about it at http://www.poundpetsinc.com/foster-homes-needed.html
Volunteers are vital for running Animal Control plus helping the rescue run smoothly. Animal Control Volunteers clean the building & provide the dogs & cats with clean kennels, beds, blankets, toys, treats, outside play time, walks & human interaction. We try to comfort the scared, keep the high-energy ones exercised and provide plenty of love & affection to make their time at animal control as less stressful as possible.
Rescue Volunteers are needed to help at adoption events, to transport, help fundraise, write grants, graphics design, network adoptable pets, network pets in AC who need rescue, participate in community outreach, assist us at our pet food pantry and various other duties.
If you'd like to join our Volunteer Team, please fill out an application at
https://form.jotform.com/40307066949156
Barn Homes are always needed! We take in many feral cats who wouldn't like living in a home and would be happiest in a barn home, which provides shelter & food. These homes still need to go through our adoption process but the fee is waived. Please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/32098523410145 if you'd like to help some feral cats.

Licensed Rescues are needed to pull animals from Granite City Animal Control, which is very small. We also save the FIV+ cats, but we don't have a lot of room for all the incoming strays. There are no fees for a rescue to pull a dog or cat. If you can help us, please email us at poundpetsinc@gmail.com.
