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.
Buddy is a 6 year old Shih Tzu mix that must have had a very hard early life. He was found with his right eye so badly damaged that it had to be removed. He is a little grumpy at times, but overall has a pretty good personality. He was nippy then but understandably, as the eye was very painful, He will still growl if he doesn't think you should be telling him what to do, but is getting better. He will need a family who can be patient with him but at the same time, teach him to be a well behaved family member. Once he learns his boundaries, he will be happy. He has just never had to learn manners as was probably outside all off his life and pretty much on his own..

More about Buddy
Good with Kids
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.
