Intake type: Transfer from Town of Independence DCO
D.O.B:
Gender: female
Breed: medium sized mixed breed (your guess is as good as ours!)
Weight: 33 lbs
I am a high-energy, go-go-go kind of girl who loves to run, play, and make new friends wherever I go! I've got a big personality, lots of energy, and two adorably floppy ears that I'm sure you'll fall in love with!
I’m looking for an active, outdoorsy family who isn't afraid to get their paws a little muddy. Long walks, scenic hikes to your favorite secret camping spot, or anything really that lets me burn off some extra energy is a MUST. And if you're in need of little break from all the action and adventure, I'd be perfectly content spending the day at home playing some fun brain games instead! Mentally busy and physically tired is my love language. Help me burn off all this extra energy, and I’ll repay you with a lifetime of unconditional love and loyalty ❤️
You know how I mentioned my two adorably floppy ears? Well, those ears come in handy when I want them to, and I've been listening to my shelter family talk about what kind of mix breed they think I could be. They say I've been showing some herding-like behaviors when I play. And rumor has it, they think I could be some kind of herding breed super mutt! Of course none of us really know for sure what kind of pup I am, but I’m smart, a little stubborn, and happiest when people understand how my brain works. And I think those are all traits that a herding breed super mutt would have! I think it would be cool to be DNA tested one day, just to see what kind of breeds made me the 100% good girl that I am.
I have met a couple other pups so far, and when it comes to them, I seem to do best with k9 companions who don't mind letting this little lady run the show! Pups that are more on the submissive and tolerant side of the spectrum, who can keep up with me and handle my enthusiastic jumping, chasing and chomping at them during playtime would be my perfect match, I think. My shelter family thinks I’d likely do well with kids, especially in a home that is familiar with herding/high energy working breeds. As always a meet and greet is required if you have kiddos or other pups in the home just to be sure we can all be the best of friends!
If you're looking for a fun, energetic sidekick whose always down for adventure, please come check me out and submit an app today 😊

PUPPIES -- $400
CATS -- $100
KITTENS -- $175
The Adoption Process in Detail:
Step 1. View our adoptable pets
View our available cats and dogs online or stop in during regular business hours, Tuesday - Saturday 12 - 5pm to visit with our pets in person. If you saw a pet online, we advise calling ahead before coming to visit and confirm the pet is still available for adoption.
Please note:
All pets that are in foster homes,or at Alfred State teaching program will require an approved application on file before they can be met.
Step 2. - Submit an application
Have an idea of who you may be interested in adopting? Would you like to have a general application on file for future interest? Submit an application!
Please note: We do not offer same day adoptions. The approval process typically takes anywhere between 1 -7 days depending on how quickly we are able to reach landlords, references, and your veterinarian. To help speed up the process, we encourage you to notify your landlord, and references that they will be receiving a call from HAHS. Also be sure to give your veterinarian a call and give verbal consent for HAHS to obtain medical records on your pets. We do not hold pets for adoption, and we will accept multiple applications on all animals in order to find the best possible fit for their needs. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval, nor does it guarantee you will be chosen for the pet you are interested in.
Step 3. Meet and Greet
For in-shelter pets:
Meet pets in person at the shelter during regular business hours, Tuesday - Saturday 12 - 5pm. We advise calling ahead to confirm the pet you're interested in meeting is still available.
For pets in foster homes, or at Alfred State Vet tech Program:
An approved application is required to meet any pet located outside of the shelter. Once your application has been approved, an HAHS representative will contact you to schedule a meet and greet at the shelter.
For dog to dog meet and greets:
Dog to dog meet and greets are required as a part of the adoption process. An approved application is required before all dog to dog meet and greets can be scheduled. Once your application has been approved, an HAHS representative will contact you to schedule a meet and greet at our shelter between your resident pups and the dog you are interested in adopting.
4. Take your new pet home
Once approved and all necessary meet and greets have been conducted, you'll be able to take your new pet home!
You will be required to pay the pet's adoption fee, and complete any foster-to-adopt contracts or adoption contracts at this point. An HAHS representative will go over your contracts/adoption packets with you and answer any additional questions you may have before sending you home with your new pet!
Please note: All animals who have not yet been spayed/neutered are required to go home on our foster to adopt contract, and will remain legal property of The Hornell Area Humane Society until they have been fixed through our facility and the adoption has been finalized. A 2 week foster-to-adopt trial is also required if you already have pets at home. This is to ensure everyone gets along prior to an adoption being finalized.
Congratulations! Fido or Fluffy is officially yours!
