Rooter needs a caretaker or foster!
Won't you consider helping him get a new start?
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.
Rooter is confused and just a little bit afraid. But at least he isn't cold and hungry anymore. He is only six months old and he was abandoned covered with fleas and underweight. He is shy at first when he has a visitor but he is becoming gently playful, now that he is feeling better. Rooter wants a family of his own to protect and grow up with. He isn't going to be a very large dog but most of his size will be his heart!

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.
