Meet Callie
Callie is the sweetest of young dogs. We rescued Callie from a high-kill shelter. We put her on her Freedom Ride for Life.
Callie is a pretty American Bulldog/Pointer mix, almost 4 years old. She has a pretty white coat with brown patches over her ears. Callie is such a hoot. She is incredibly friendly. She loves being with people. She loves to run and romp in the yard. Callie is very affectionate and welcomes attention, a lot of it! Callie has quickly become a shelter favorite with her bubbly personality. Unfortunately Callie does not get along well with other dogs or cats, so will need to be in a single pet home. Living in the shelter, she has developed some fears. She is afraid to get in a car and will need much patience and gentle guidance. But once she bonds she will make for a wonderful companion. She absolutely loves to have her ears scratched and her tummy rubbed. She is a fantastic girl with so much to offer her family or person. She has been done wrong in her young life, but she has moved on and just wants to get on with living and loving with her forever family. This girl is a keeper!

Our shelter in Sautee GA is located about 3 miles south of the alpine town of Helen in northeast GA.
Our adoption process begins with the submission of an application which is used to gather information and initiate conversation with the adopting person/family. The form also assists us with assessing the environment for suitability and safety in the placement of our residents. The application is the first step in the approval process, followed by veterinarian reference check, landlord approval confirmation if relevant and a home visit which may be done physically or virtually depending on the distance from the shelter. The approval process can be initiated either before or after a visit to the shelter to visit our residents. The application for dogs is located on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.1073741865.548822128495391/1271213192922944/?type=3&theater . For cat application, go to: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.1073741865.548822128495391/1271223856255211/?type=3&theater . The forms will be automated for online submission through a new website currently under construction with an anticipated launch date of no later than Nov 2016. Requirements for adoption are specific to the needs of the animal in addition to standard checks for safety issues. Adopters must come to the shelter once approved to take their adopted pet home. We do not ship nor do we transport. Submitting the form is neither a guarantee of adoption nor an entitlement to "first come,first served" in the selection process of safely and appropriately placing our residents. Decision to approve/not approve an adopter(s) is based on the needs of the dog, not the needs of the adopter. The application should be downloaded before printing. The completed form can be returned through Facebook Messages, emailing to: smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net or delivery to the shelter. The process usually takes 1 to 3 business days but can be slowed by not completing all of the questions, difficulty in reaching people relevant to approval and scheduling a home visit. Our residents must be returned to us at any point in time if the adoption is no longer suitable/safe for the pet or circumstances have changed to where a new home is needed. A contract must be signed to complete the adoption process. Standard fees for dogs are $100 and for cats $85. Some fees are subsidized in various amounts as low as $25 (minimum allowed subsidized fee) for dogs and $20 (minimum allowed subsidized fee) for cats . All of our animals are spay/neutered, have age appropriate vaccines and are free of internal parasites. Dogs are tested for heart worms and put on monthly prevention. Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.
