Story
Meet Taya!If we had to guess, we'd say Taya might be a Shepherd/Husky mix based on her looks—but as with most shelter dogs, that's really just our best guess. What we do know is that she's a wonderful dog looking for a family to call her own.Taya is around 6 years old and weighs 47 pounds, making her a great medium-sized companion. She's past the puppy stage and has settled into a sweet, easygoing adult personality.Taya gets along well with other dogs, enjoys being around people, and walks nicely on a leash. She doesn't pull you all over the place and makes a great walking partner. We haven't had the opportunity to see how she does with children yet, so if you have kids, we encourage you to bring them along to meet her.Taya comes with quite the resume! She is spayed, vaccinated, flea and tick treated, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, and ready to head home with her new family. She was also treated for Lyme disease and Ehrlichia, and her treatment has been completed.All that's left is finding the right family.If you're looking for a sweet, friendly dog with a great temperament and all her medical care already taken care of, Taya may be the perfect fit for you. Stop by Highland Humane Society to meet her!Taya's adoption fee is $225. You can stop into the shelter 12-5 pm Monday through Friday or 11-3 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.We're open Monday through Friday 12-5 pm and Saturday 11-3 pm.

🐾 Meet MacBeth – A Gentle Boy Looking for His Happily Ever After 💙🐶MacBeth may be a little shy when you first meet him, but underneath that timid exterior is a sweet, affectionate boy just waiting for someone to show him that the world is a safe place. 💕One of the dogs rescued from our recent hoarding case, MacBeth is still discovering all the wonderful things life has to offer. Every day he grows a little braver, and our staff has watched him make incredible progress. Once he trusts you, he'll happily climb into your lap for cuddles, sneak in sweet kisses, and soak up all the love he can get. Cheese and treats are definitely the fastest way to his heart! 🧀🥰 Staff consistently describe him as improving every day and believe he'll continue to thrive with a patient, understanding family.MacBeth has tested well with other dogs and has spent his life living with canine companions. He would do best with calm dogs, as larger or overly energetic dogs can still make him nervous. 🐕 His leash skills are improving every day, though they're still a work in progress, and he'll need a family willing to cheer him on as he continues building confidence. 🌟We haven't seen MacBeth with children yet, so if you have kids, please bring them along for a meet-and-greet!✨ Adoption Fee: $225🎂 Age: Around 2 years old🚹 Sex: Male⚖️ Weight: 25 lbs (full grown)🐕 Breed: Mixed Breed (Guesses are austrailian shepherd, chihuahua, border collie and a few other things)MacBeth is ready to start his new life and can go home with his forever family beginning Monday, July 6! ❤️Before adoption, MacBeth has been:✂️ Neutered💉 Vaccinated🩺 Heartworm & Lyme tested (negative!)🦟 Flea & tick treated❤️ On heartworm prevention📍 MicrochippedIf you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, MacBeth will reward you with quiet companionship, gentle cuddles, and the joy of watching a once-frightened dog blossom into the confident companion he was always meant to be. 🐾💙We're open Monday through Friday 12-5 pm and Saturday 11-3 pm.
