My story

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

Meet Darwin!
Darwin is a 2-year-old, 50 pound boy, with a gentle heart and a thoughtful approach to the world. He is sensitive when meeting new people and will need slow, patient introductions to help him feel safe and comfortable. Once he has time to build trust, his sweet and affectionate nature truly shines.

Darwin would do best in a home with another friendly dog already in residence. Having a canine companion helps him feel more confident and secure as he continues to navigate the world. He’s looking for understanding adopters who know that letting a relationship grow at Darwin’s pace is key.

Because of his sensitivity, Darwin needs a cat-free home. He is likely able to live with older, respectful children who can give him space and allow him to warm up on his own terms.

With kindness, consistency, and a furry friend by his side, Darwin is ready to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by our Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in our care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability.

We are currently doing adoptions by appointment only. Please contact us by phone at (234) 212-9843 or email at adoptions@summithumane.org, and an adoption counselor will return your message. They will review our adoption process, answer any questions, and tell you more about the animals currently available for adoption at our shelter and in our foster program. If we have a match for you and your family, an appointment will be scheduled to meet the animal.

Additional questions can be directed to our adoption team at (234) 212-9843.
