My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gus is a 4 year old neutered Gus is a very sweet dog that has been diagnosed with a severe seizure disorder. He is on medications that he will have to continue to be on for the rest of his life. He would need a home with no small children and no other pets. He can be shy at first so it may take a few visits for him to warm up to you. He does try to be housebroken!

More about this shelter

We make every effort to find homes for every animal in our care. When our shelter is over-crowded, we rely on a network of "foster families" to take care of our pets. All the while, we have increased our efforts to "get the word out" about our pets (e.g. this website, pictures, newspaper publicity, etc.) Our efforts pay off.

The Staff and Board of Directors at the Humane Society love pets, and our actions bear out that simple fact. Our animal guests get the very best care while they are with us.

Please help! We need volunteers to help us exercise the dogs. We try to walk the dogs each day to provide them with the exercise and attention they so desperately need. You can volunteer as little or as much as you like. If you would be interested in helping us care for our animal guests, please call the shelter at 814-443-2121.
