Blackie is a high energy boy, and would do best in a home with a jogger or active family or large yard with jobs to keep him busy.
Please get in touch with our shelter and visit us if you are
interested in a wonderful pet. We have many more dogs than you see
here, puppies and adults. You can visit us regularly, until you find
the right pet for you, and you are welcome to continue visiting us
after we have given you your new friend, just to say hello to our
staff and to see our new arrivals. We can also help you with the
training and ordinary care of your new pet. If you have a specific
type of dog that you would like to have, you can contact us and we
will notify you when such an animal arrives. We also can put you in
touch with specific-breed rescue organizations. Our overall goal is
to put pets in touch with potential pet owners.
Responsible Dog Care and Mixed Breeds
As you look over the list of dogs who need homes (and it grows
daily), you may note the number of mixed-breed puppies. At the Humane
Society we love mixed breeds, and purebreds, but we see more than we
can help. If you are a pet owner, or a potential pet owner, you know
what causes these unwanted mixed-breeds: doin' what comes naturally.
But naturally, to a dog, means having puppies and then turning them
out to whatever fate awaits. Please spay (female) or neuter (male)
your pet if you do not intend to breed her or him for puppies. Even
in rural Greene County, the cars are faster than the dogs, and the
livestock don't like wild dogs either.
Information on This Page
In some cases we post animals for rescue groups that accept
certain breeds and then try to find homes for them. When you see us
mention a group or a name, this does not mean that you cannot inquire
about the animal. We are looking for final adopters, and the rescue
group is only a place to foster an animal until a permanent home can
be found. Call if one of these pets interests you.
If there is a number in the writeup, you can tell us that number
to make it easier for us to locate the animal.
