My story

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

Please make sure to read the narrative below our pet's photos as you will find a description of our pet with all we know about them, our adoption fee info, and you will find the link to do our online Adoption Application which is the first step in our Adoption Process!

We respond via email to your apps.   Please make sure you have either added our email, hselco@bellsouth.net , to your contact list or that you routinely check your SPAM folder for our response. If we do not receive a timely response we simply move on to another applicant.

Please wait for our response as we schedule appointments to meet our pets.

info about our pet & adoption cost/detail information below that – please read all. 

PET DESCRIPTION:  Rupert is a male Terrier looking mix, about three-years-old, 16 lbs.  He came to us as a stray never reclaimed.  He was very nervous at first but figured out we meant no harm and is a sweet boy.  Can be rather mouthy which some might think is nipping but he is not biting. But that might not be good for someone with frail skin and no children please.  Is good with other dogs. Have not checked with cats.

DOG ADOPTION FEE is $100. This Adoption fee includes: mandatory spay/neuter which will be done before you can take your dog or puppy home with you; basic canine immunizations (DHPP-CPV & Bordatella Intranasal); de-wormings; one-year rabies vaccination if old enough; heartworm test if over five months old; microchip from 24-Pet Watch; certificate for free health examination at your participating veterinarian; and a goodie bag chocked full of information, toys, and more.  (If a dog is sponsored or has a waived or lower fee, that info will be provided at the point of adoption to the approved adopter).

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

https://elmorehumane.org/adoption-application-online-form2.html

2.

Approve Application

Once your application is approved we will coordinate an appointment day/time with you to meet the pet.

3.

Meet the Pet

Meeting the pet is a critical step as sometimes people WANT a pet just based on the photo so meeting the pet is absolutely critical.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

Upon approval of the application and falling in love with the pet after meeting it, will take about 20 minutes to complete the adoption.

5.

Take the Pet Home

We are always here to help post-adoption for any questions/ advice you may need. And if it does not work out - we will take our pet back.

Additional adoption info

If you live a distance and know you would like a certain Friend, Please do our Adoption Application here: https://elmorehumane.org/adoption-application-online-form2.html . Upon application approval we can then discuss whether we can hold that animal for a day for you to come visit that animal. We cannot hold animals for multiple days or weeks for you to come for as space is lives and we don't want to miss a great home for one of our pets if travel plans fall through or things change - we hope you understand.



You must be at least 19 Years Old to adopt.
