Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Arlo came to the shelter as an owner surrender as his people were moving and could not take him. He is a 2-3 year old shiba inu. He's a very social and loving guy, which is a little bit out of character for shibas. We like it! He had a pretty significant flea infestation before he came to us, which led to a skin infection and bad hair loss. We're treating it and are already seeing a great improvement. He has been vet checked and vaccinated and will be neutered soon. His fee is $150. Arlo also experienced bad frost bite as a newborn and is missing all of the toes on his front feet. This doesn't stop him, however, and he's still able to romp and play. Arlo did live with other animals in his previous home and should be okay with older kids. He's pretty well mannered and an all around good dude. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 29, 2025, 11:53 pm

Story
Meet Lex! Lex is a wonderful Shiba mix looking for his forever home. This super clean and well-mannered boy is fully potty trained and not a barker. He’s easy to have around and loves his routines. Like many Shibas, he does have a tendency to run if given the chance, so a secure fenced yard is a must. Lex gets along well with other dogs who are calm and respectful, especially those that don’t try to dominate him. He’s also fine with cats and is fantastic for grooming, enjoying a good pampering session. Some of Lex’s favorite pastimes include basking in the sunshine, hunting bugs in the grass, and catching treats midair. He would do best with respectful kids who understand his independent nature. Lex would love a home where he can relax, be adored, and enjoy plenty of treats and outdoor time. A home with prior Shiba (or similar breed, like Akita or Finnish Spitz) experience is preferred, as Lex has the trademark independence and confidence these breeds are known for. Lex is about 9 years old, around 40–45 pounds, and takes allergy medication twice a year for seasonal flare-ups. He walks beautifully on leash, is not destructive, and keeps his space spotless. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Jack Frost is a breeder release born December 2016. Now that he is retired from the working world, he is looking forward to his first ever home. He should have a fenced yard to run in because he has never walked on leash, and is just beginning to learn. He keeps a pretty clean kennel here at the shelter, so potty training should be pretty simple. He is an energetic boy with a great attitude - he just needs a chance to learn how to be someone's best friend. All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.
