Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Holmes!!!
Holmes is believed to be a 4-year-old, Yellow Lab hound mix. He is amazing with dogs and cats and devoted and in love with all humans he meets. Holmes is extremely gentle but clingy and very praise and food driven. But his biggest motivation is people. Holmes has learned most of his basic commands including learning “not to bark excessively when excited or the need to communicate his needs/wants. He does need to be reminded to use his indoor voice, but overall he is eager to please and easily continues to learn with positive reinforcement and praise and lots of love and affection. His biggest motivation is his peoples' attention and love. All hounds are amazing but Holmes is extraordinarily awesome because he leads with his heart. Holmes is house and crate trained. He walks well on a leash. His recall is actually pretty good for a hound. Holmes will need a fully fenced-in yard and daily walks to let his sniffer work. The occasional car ride as needed is ok but definitely not his favorite as it does cause him some anxiety. He enjoys urban life and being surrounded by people makes him happy. Especially short drives to the drive through in town and down the road. An active, hands-on home with daily outdoor walks/adventures and someone home often would be best for Holmes. He thrives with all human companionship. I dare to say Holmes can be stage 5 clinger. Not the worse but clingy enough to honor the label.Holmes is house and crate trained, not distructive, up to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto and corona, as well as rabies, de-wormed, fecal tested negative, micro-chipped including free registration to adopters, neutered, and current on monthly heart-worm flea/tick prevention.

We believe training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues that arise, need to be addressed and/or rewarded. Understanding that continued training is a lifetime commitment, is very important. Out-of-state adopters are welcome at the adopter's expense. Meet & Greets are a required before proceeding with an adoption. We DO NOT ship any of our pets.

More about this rescue
Every animal in our care comes to us with their own story. Many of them have had it harder than others, and have scars that need a healing touch. What they all have in common, is that they came to us from other rescues/shelters that felt they couldn’t take on their individual needs, and give them the necessary care needed to help them bloom into family pets. Most pets we welcome into our program, need extensive behavior and/or medical care before they are ready for their forever homes. We provide each pet with an unlimited amount of time to recover, along with individualized care and training customized to there needs.
We at Animal House Sanctuary love a challenge and have a soft spot for these special pets in need. Most of all, we love seeing each individual pet change into the family pet they were always meant to be. Watching this firsthand, is beyond rewarding and fills us with a joy that cannot be described in words.
We are a 501(c) Licensed Nonprofit organization that is ran 100% by Volunteers. Our mission is to help homeless animals find great forever homes. Our heart is with the community, helping families keep their pets at home. We are involved with informing our local community about the importance of spaying/neutering their pets. We also help feed the homeless and their pets. Senior pets are precious and dear to our hearts which is why we are involved with the Hospice Heaven program. This consists of pulling older cats and dogs from high kill shelters and placing them in a loving home. This often includes matching senior pets with a Senior Adaptor. Sharing joy and respect for all precious life is something that we love doing, and will continue to do, for it fills our hearts.
