My personality

My story

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

Meet Teddy
Teddy is a pint-sized nugget with a lot of personality. He’s absolutely adorable in every way. We rescued Teddy from an animal control. Same old story, the AC was full and euthanizing for space. Teddy was on his last day. We pulled him and brought him to the
safety of our shelter where he’s been a bubbly, happy and delightful pup. Teddy is about a year old. He looks to be a Feist mix, perhaps with Parson Terrier. He weighs about 25 lbs., mostly leg lol!
He has a soft brown coat, warm brown eyes and a
docked tail. He LOVES people. His whole body wiggles and his eyes light up when he’s with his people. We think he’d do well with kids and the activity will keep him happy. He loves attention. He loves to play fetch. He runs with such joy it makes you feel good to
see how much fun he’s having. Teddy loves other dogs. Teddy might enjoy another dog in the home to keep him company and play with. Teddy walks well on a leash. He likes going places, travels well in a car and is well-mannered. Teddy is smart and seems to
already be potty-trained. Teddy has a lively demeanor. He’s super friendly and affectionate. He is energetic, but his playfulness will make for a fun and adventurous companion. His smaller size makes him a great ridealong companion and best buddy.
Teddy gets excited when he sees a cat but is friendly with them.
If you are looking for a small, hardy, healthy, happy, fun, sweet, smart, affectionate, playful and handsome young doggo to welcome to your heart and home, Teddy may be perfect for you. We sure think he’s perfect.
If interested in Teddy, please submit an application online at:
https://www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/page/dog-adoption-application
Once an application is submitted online, you will receive an email saying your application has been successfully submitted. If you don’t receive this email within 24 hours, please check to make sure all application fields were completed or please call
our shelter at 706-865-4135 or email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net.
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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process begins with the submission of an application which is used to gather information and initiate conversation with the adopting person/family. The form also assists us with assessing the environment for suitability and safety in the placement of our residents. The application is the first step in the approval process, followed by veterinarian reference check, landlord approval confirmation if relevant and a home visit which may be done physically or virtually depending on the distance from the shelter. The approval process can be initiated either before or after a visit to the shelter to visit our residents. The application for dogs is located on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.1073741865.548822128495391/1271213192922944/?type=3&theater . For cat application, go to: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.1073741865.548822128495391/1271223856255211/?type=3&theater . The forms will be automated for online submission through a new website currently under construction with an anticipated launch date of no later than Nov 2016. Requirements for adoption are specific to the needs of the animal in addition to standard checks for safety issues. Adopters must come to the shelter once approved to take their adopted pet home. We do not ship nor do we transport. Submitting the form is neither a guarantee of adoption nor an entitlement to "first come,first served" in the selection process of safely and appropriately placing our residents. Decision to approve/not approve an adopter(s) is based on the needs of the dog, not the needs of the adopter. The application should be downloaded before printing. The completed form can be returned through Facebook Messages, emailing to: smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net or delivery to the shelter. The process usually takes 1 to 3 business days but can be slowed by not completing all of the questions, difficulty in reaching people relevant to approval and scheduling a home visit. Our residents must be returned to us at any point in time if the adoption is no longer suitable/safe for the pet or circumstances have changed to where a new home is needed. A contract must be signed to complete the adoption process. Standard fees for dogs are $100 and for cats $85. Some fees are subsidized in various amounts as low as $25 (minimum allowed subsidized fee) for dogs and $20 (minimum allowed subsidized fee) for cats . All of our animals are spay/neutered, have age appropriate vaccines and are free of internal parasites. Dogs are tested for heart worms and put on monthly prevention. Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.

Our mission is to provide safe sanctuary and all standard preventive care procedures and veterinary services to the dogs and cats of our local communities Intakes are primarily owner relinquishments with some animals accepted from animal control when space is available. All potential adopters must be evaluated through our approval process. We are funded 100% by donations and fundraising events. With the exception of 2 kennel managers, our operations are totally managed with volunteers. We are always in need of donations and volunteers. We appreciate the sharing of our pets on social media as most of our adoptions have resulted through the resources of the internet.
