My story

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

This cute little bundle of spunks name is Buddy aka Stubby! Buddy looks to be a Basset Hound mix at around four to five years old. He was brought to us when his previous owner could no longer keep him due to housing issues. Unfortunately Buddy suffers from some sincere fear issues and is anxious around too much energy. He would love a quiet home where he can take his time to settle in and lounge around to his heart’s content. He does well taking walks and could possibly live with a calmer dog. He does not do well with children or cats. He is a very loyal dog and has sincerely clung on to one of our staff but does tolerate other staff and volunteers. If you have a quieter home and are looking to give an anxious dog another chance then Buddy might just be your man!

Additional adoption info

When you see an animal in our kennel or cattery that you are interested in, we will ask that you complete some paperwork (our "Adoption Application"). This paperwork must be completed first in order to minimize stress for you and the animals. Our process includes asking questions: asking for veterinary references-particularly when you have other animals at home. This is simply to protect the health of adoption candidates and the pets you already have.

You will have a counseling session with one of our knowledgeable staff members who will fill you in on the history and needs of that animal, and his feeding and exercise requirements. You can ask your counselor any questions about spaying or neutering, housetraining, obedience training, scratching (in cats), veterinary care, how to deal with fleas and ticks, and anything else you can think of.

If you are approved to adopt, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. This fee covers spaying or neutering, and the veterinary care, deworming and vaccines your pet has received at the shelter.

You can find the Adopter's Profile on our website.
