Ready for a companion who thinks only of YOU, and one whose biggest desire is to be a bestie, to give love, and to feel appreciated in return? We figure someone suited to a devoted companion is waiting for him, and doesn’t know where he is! So here’s the well kept secret. Finally revealed: Shack is waiting at the Campbell County animal, shelter, taking his sweet time shopping for a new family, but hopes he can get a good deal very soon. He is a couple years old, house trained, absolutely yummy with other dogs, and a mush in the house. He kept secret the fact that he has had someone train him carefully and teach him good manners. What a shock it was to see him sit on one hip like a little old man, then offer a paw, then lay down when asked, and even roll over on his back. These are all signs of a well adjusted, well trained, deeply loved family pet. Wouldn’t it be fun to know how he ended up at the shelter as a stray instead of being at someone’s house being loved? Maybe we can make up for it, and get him home as quickly as we can. You have to see him to believe him. He is that perfect! Apply to adopt by going to our website at www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org.
Hey there, I'm Shack! I'm always up for a friendly game. I'm full of energy, ready to explore every nook and cranny of the world with you. New smells, sights, and adventures? Count me in! Walks are my absolute favorite, the longer the better. I'll be your loyal companion on every journey, whether it's a trip to the park or a hike in the mountains. So, why adopt me? Well, I promise to bring laughter, love, and a sense of adventure to your life. Let's make some memories together! I'm not a crazy kid any longer, but am old enough to enjoy my studies and get into some fun training with you. I also LOVE children, and think other dogs are pretty cool. Ready to adopt me?

Additional adoption info
We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.
Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.
Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.
