My story

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

Meet Shep
Shep is a great young dog. He’s about 1.6 years old and is ready to find his own family. We think Shep is a border collie/ lab mix. This boy will make your heart sing and your family complete. Shep is high energy, friendly, smart, affectionate, outgoing, happy, gentle, and fun-loving. He loves people and dogs. Another energetic dog in the home will do wonders for Shep. He loves playing.
Shep is house- and crate-trained. He has incredible manners and knows how to transition easily into a home. He will make for a wonderful all-around companion. He loves hiking and walking. He loves to play, run and chase. He is extremely smart and learns quickly. He likes to travel in a car and go places. He’s confident and embraces new experiences. He loves being with people and will do well with older kids; he could be a little too enthusiastic for toddlers or young kids unsteady on their feet.
Shep is a small/medium sized dog. He looks bigger in his pictures, due to his big and happy personality. He just shines like the brightest star! As a working/ herding dog, Shep will chase cats and other small animals. He’ll benefit from consistent and gentle training to redirect his attention. Shep will need a containment fence to keep him safe. He will also benefit from treats and toys that keep his mind engaged. Shep is a lovebug. He is an absolute gem that will make for a loyal and loving companion.

All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out of state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://smithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals.
Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are primarily owner relinquished and also accepted from local Animal Control. The facility usually is operating at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
Adoptions and meet and greets are being scheduled by appointment only. Please call our office, email us or complete an application and someone will be in touch just as soon as they can.
