My story

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

**Gargoyle has been with us 101 days too long, he's a great dog and deserves to be in a home!**

🗿🐾 Meet Gargoyle – the sweetest “statue” you’ll ever meet!

At almost 2 years old and 46 lbs, Gargoyle is the perfect medium-sized pittie with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s the ultimate mix of wild child and couch potato—one minute zooming around showing off his back flips, the next curled up soaking in affection. 🛋️💕

Gargoyle lives for belly rubs and makes the funniest faces when he gets them 😄. He loves treats of any kind, enjoys playing fetch, and is highly motivated by food and praise, which makes him a great candidate for continued training.

When meeting new people, Gargoyle starts off shy and polite, but once he’s comfortable, his goofy, energetic side shines through. He can be very jumpy at first, especially on walks, but it’s all excitement—he’s just trying to get your attention and share his joy. With guidance and consistency, he’ll continue to improve.

🐶 Dog-friendly: Yes!
🐱 Cats: Not a match (high prey drive)
🏡 Best home: Someone who can keep him safely contained and provide structure for his energy
👧Great with kids! He used to live with an autistic child and was great with her.

Like any pittie, Gargoyle is incredibly affectionate and thrives on love and attention. He truly is the sweetest boy, and once he chooses you as his person, you’re his whole world. 💖

Gargoyle is neutered, microchipped, flea & tick treated, heartworm tested negative, and on prevention—all ready to trade his roaming days for a forever home.

Adopt Gargoyle and let this charming “guardian” protect your couch instead of your roof. 🛋️🐶💕
Gargoyle's adoption fee is $225. Gargoyle is neutered, microchipped, flea & tick treated, fully vaccinated, tested negative for Lyme and Heartworm, and on heartworm prevention.

You can apply on our website www.highlandhumanesociety.org OR stop into the shelter 12- 5 pm Tuesday through Friday or 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday to meet who is available at that time. Please arrive no later than 30 minutes before we close to ensure we have time to do the adoption.

Worried about whether she will be a good fit for your home? No worries, we have that covered too! You have up to 2 weeks after adoption to return her for a full refund on your adoption fee.

Their adoption process

1.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

We do allow walk ins to meet animals they may want to adopt. We do not allow people to walk through the kennels we bring the animal to you.

2.

Submit Application

Not all animals need an application but some may need one due to having special needs or not being spayed or neutered yet.

3.

Take the Pet Home

You can usually take a pet home same day on foster or adoption. Foster is for a week for compatibility. Not all animals qualify for foster

Additional adoption info

Once an animal is chosen, you will pay the adoption fee via cash or card. The card does charge a fee to use. If an animal is not spayed or neutered yet we will schedule it with one of our vets or you may schedule it at your own vet and receive a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $60 for cats. All animals are microchipped except barn cats.
