DHS does not have a facility. All of our animals are housed in foster homes. Therefore, we require having a completed adoption application on file before we ask our foster families to rearrange their schedules for a meet and greet or answer individual inquiries. And, please be patient, we are staffed only by volunteers. It may be a few days before you hear from us.
Gertie is a sweet, people loving dog. She is a bit of a control freak in that if other dogs play too rough or get in her space, she tries to dominate them. She would be a great dog for a home with only other submissive dogs or other pets. She is well behaved and very loving and gentle. She walks well on a leash and listens really well. She is content to just find a cozy place in the room with her people and keep an eye on them. Gertie is a little bit of a glutton and is overweight but we are working on that. She is a great dog for a family that would help her stay active. Gertie is heart worm positive but is not symptomatic. DHS will be responsible for completing her treatment if she is adopted before it is completed.

All of our adoptable pets are housed with foster families. When age appropriate, they have been spay/neutered, crate, leash and house trained. They have all been living in a family environment so have been evaluated for temperament and personality. We believe that we should know each pet well enough to make sure that when adopted, everyone lives happily ever after. Since all of our animals are housed with fosters, we ask that you submit a completed application before we answer individual inquiries. Submitting an application never obligates you to adopt but we will have a better understanding of your needs so that we can better answer your questions.
