My story

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

Scottie (the Scottish Terrier mix, Doxie Scot?) is a sweet little guy who was found as a skittish stray with an untreated broken leg. Don’t let the pre-mature greys fool you. This small dapper, very portable guy is about 5 years old. He has an adorable trot so he’s better known as Skippy Scotty. He gets along with both cats and dogs in the foster home.



Through means of trying to save the leg, it's now been medically recommended that his right leg be amputated since that will be the best course of action for him in the long run.  He's looking forward to becoming a healthier and happier future family companion, just with one less paw.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Once you have submitted an application we will check your references. Let your vet know we will be calling so they release information to us

2.

Interview

We will conduct a phone interview and perform a home check.

3.

Meet the Pet

Please know what dog you are interested in. We set up private one on one meet n' greets. Your entire family should visit with your other dog

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

On adoption day you will sign your adoption contract and pay your adoption fee.

Additional adoption info

Each adoption starts with an application process. We do a thorough background check, including checking references - both vet and personal. We then follow up with a home check (depending on the location will dictate how we conduct a home check). Contracts and adoption fees are completed prior to any transport of a dog. We will require an adopter to establish a relationship with their vet within 30 days of an adoption and provide written proof of such. Each adoption situation is handled on an individual basis, as are adoption fees. We strive to return any telephone calls within 3 business days.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Meet our adoptables by appointment after you have an approved application on file. Applications are kept on file for 60 days.

More about this rescue

Hill Hounds is dedicated to coordinating rescue for homeless, abandoned, and injured dogs. We also have a dedicated team of hospice and sanctuary volunteers. In addition to dogs, we provide a soft place to land for cats, rabbits, small animals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, and farm animals.

We accept agency transfers, as well as owner surrenders when we have room in our foster system.

When we are able, we provide food to food fragile community members who are struggling to feed their pets.

We are staffed entirely by volunteers who so graciously give of their time and resources to save as many animals as what we're able. We operate solely on donations.
