Please read the animal bios completely before requesting additional information as we do our best to answer the most frequently ask questions in these bios. In order to adopt one of our animals an application must be submitted and approved. You can find these applications by going to http://humanemorgan.org/index.php?page=adoption ABOUT ADOPTING FROM THE HSMC: The shelter address is 1170 Fairground Rd. Madison, GA 30650. For more information on any of our pets, please feel free to email us at INFO@HUMANEMORGAN.ORG give us a call at 706-343-9977. All dogs are heartworm negative, current on vaccines/dewormings, and microchipped. All cats are FeLv/FIV negative, current on vaccines/dewormings, and microchipped. We are open 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday, we schedule our last adoption at 4pm everyday to allow our staff enough time to feed and walk dogs. We are an animal shelter and therefore are not able to individually potty train our residents. Many adult dogs do arrive “house broken” however due to animal behavior any change in environment will make an emotional impact on the animals and therefore initiate unwanted behaviors during the acclamation period. Please keep this in mind. Puppies do not have the biological maturity to maintain absolute bladder or bowel control and will require a certain degree of potty training and house breaking. Please consider the time and commitment it takes to provide the necessary building blocks for these special babies, prior to submitting your application. If you have any questions please email us at info@humanemorgan.org and provide name of the animal you are interested in, in the subject line. Thank you, HSMC Staff ADOPTION FEES Adoption Fees may change without notice. Always verify the fee when finalizing the adoption. ~ Cats and Kittens ~ * Under 1 Year = $100 * 1-5 Years = $75 * Over 5 Years = $50 ** Purebred cats and kittens may be subject to special pricing ~ Mix Breed Dogs ~ * Under 1 Year = $200 * 1 -3 Years = $175 * 4-8 Years = $150 * Over 8 Years = $100~ Purebred and Designer Breed Dogs ~ * Under 1 Year = $375 * 1-3 Years = $350 * 4-8 Years = $275 * Over 8 Years = $150 ~ Medical and Special Needs ~ We have rescued dogs and cats which require additional medical care or that have special needs which are not life threatening.

Story
🐾 Meet Shiro – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Next Loving Home Meet Shiro, an 8-year-old Shih Tzu with a gentle heart and perfect manners. He is extremely friendly with kids, dogs, and strangers—very social, playful, and always eager to please. Shiro is obedient, never aggressive, and rarely barks (only at unfamiliar sounds or the occasional animal on TV). He is fully potty trained and clearly communicates his needs for food, water, and potty breaks. Shiro is low-maintenance and never demanding, yet he enjoys occasional attention and affection. He loves running around the backyard chasing leaves and happily playing with kids and other dogs. He has been a loving child to our family, and with a heavy heart, we are looking to rehome him as we are relocating out of the country. We hope to find caring parents who can provide him the same love, comfort, and safe home he deserves. Looking for a gentle, friendly, well-mannered companion? Shiro could be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
A fosters-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Meet Baby Bruno! Bruno may be small, but he’s got a big personality—and a little spice to go with it! This clever, loyal pup is full of love once he feels safe with you. At first, he can be nervous around new people and situations, but with patience (and maybe a little cheese), his sweet and affectionate side shines through. Because Bruno can become nippy if startled or rushed, he’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands “spicy” dogs and is willing to respect his boundaries. A calm, low-traffic home without children will be the best fit for him. The good news? Bruno has plenty of great qualities to offer his perfect person! He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and enjoys the company of other dogs. A fenced yard is required, but he also does well on leash. To help set him up for success, Bruno’s adoption will include a couple of meet-and-greets and a home visit. He isn’t a dog for everyone—but for the right person, he’ll be a devoted and wonderful companion. Baby Bruno weighs 13lbs. and is approximately 4 years old (est. birth date 03/22/2021). Baby Bruno has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. Baby Bruno's adoption fee is $85. If you want more information about Baby Bruno, please submit a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. Must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.

Story
Farley is a 2 year old Shih Tzu mix . He came to us matted, terrified, and confused. Farley loves walks, he loves food, and he enjoys being close to his people. He’s slowly learning how to play and that he is safe and loved. Farley is crate trained, rocking potty training, does great on a leash, and is very treat motivated. Farley would do best in a home with older children and no men and an active family who would walk him daily. Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies!
