My story

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

Shirley was initially a stray in a neighborhood in Rye, which is a small town outside of Livingston, TX. A couple of the residents there were feeding her, one lady even brought her in for a spay surgery. During the time that Shirley was undergoing surgery, the resident who brought her in had a death in the family and had to immediately leave town to start making funeral arrangements. Shirley is now residing here at the shelter and looking for her own family who will love her like the neighborhood loved her. Shirley has made great friends here at the SPCA. She loves everyone, and the kennel staff is growing very fond of her. She has a great smile that will melt your heart. No wonder the neighborhood loved her so much! If you're looking at her profile and thinking she's the perfect dog, she is! She deserves to be shown the love she's been looking for.

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, basic vaccinations, microchipping, and care. All basic vaccinations will be current at the time of adoption.
A potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application which includes information regarding their home environment, current/prior pets, etc. We also require them to provide at least 2 references. A volunteer will review the application, contact the references, and provide information regarding the specific pet they are interested in adopting. If we receive a favorable response when we contact the references, the potential adopter is then required to complete the actual adoption contract. We encourage communication by email. Due to our limited staff, our office is only open part-time, but we will return all phone calls as soon as possible.
