Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Joy
If you are looking for the sweetest, friendliest, happiest, silliest, most joyful and adorable pup, you must meet Joy! We rescued Joy from a high kill shelter. This beautiful girl has had a rough life filled with abuse. Thankfully, we were able to get her out of the high kill shelter in time. Since coming to our no kill shelter, she has been nothing short of happy.
Joy is four years old. She looks to be an American bulldog/boxer mix. She is medium size. Joy loves everyone she meets. She loves adults, children and she loves dogs. She has a calm and steady demeanor that we think she’ll be okay with cats too, but we can test her. Joy is an easy leash walker, no pulling, just simple strolling. She loves sniffing and takes her time to enjoy all the goodness and kindness out there. Joy travels well. She loves pets and scratchies. Joy holds no grudges and is grateful for every gentle pet and attention she receives. If you are looking for a Velcro dog, a loving and happy companion to walk through your days with and share your life, Joy is an absolute gem. She will enjoy long walks or hikes, lunches with friends, a comfy couch to watch TV, a sunny porch to enjoy the scenery and the quiet companionship of her person. We have fallen so in love with this pup. Whoever adopts this pretty girl with the soulful eyes (one brown and one blue) and speckled ears will be so lucky. Joy will be spayed before going home and will have a thorough vet check to make sure she is in good health. Get your application in for Joy if you are looking for the dog of a lifetime. She will be a wonderful addition to any home.
Get your application in for Joy at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org. Please email our shelter (smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net) and leave a message to make sure we received your application. 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://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.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 either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.

Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
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.
