My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Faith
Faith is a gorgeous shepherd/kelpie dog mix. She was found living in a hoarder’s house. She was desperately trying to raise her puppies surrounded by filth, with no food and kindness. She was surrendered to us with six puppies in tow. She was a good mom, raising her pups beautifully and lovingly. Faith’s puppies have found their furever homes. Now it’s Faith’s turn to get her second chance.
Faith is about three years old. She has a pretty, light red coat and warm amber eyes. She is medium in size. Our staff and volunteers have done an incredible job with Faith, showing her unending love and attention. She was so scared when she arrived and to see her now, embracing our staff and volunteers in gentle hugs, we know that she is ready to lavish her love on a kind and caring person/family. Faith is friendly, affectionate, outgoing, calm, gentle and quiet. She has grown in confidence. She is learning some tricks. She walks easily on a leash. She has shown us her playful side. She loves being in the fresh air and play yards. She is loving and affectionate with those she trusts. Faith enjoys traveling in a car, especially to her favorite lunch place. She loves attention and thrives under the adoring kindness shown to her.
Faith is a smart girl and learns quickly. We think she is most likely house-trained. She will do well with positive reinforcement. Faith will need a containment fenced yard to safely run around and enjoy the fresh air. But she must live as an indoor dog. Faith is selective about other dogs, but this may be the isolation and desperation she experienced early on. Once a shelter dog is given time to decompress and live a more normal and quiet life, this may change. Faith is a beautiful and lovely dog who just needs a second chance.
If interested in Faith, please submit a dog application online at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org Please call our shelter at 706-865-4135 or email us at smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net to let us know to be on the lookout. All adopters must complete an approval process which involves a reference check with current/recent vet and a brief home visit if located in the immediate area. We do permit out of state adoptions. Adopters MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. We do not ship nor do we transport them to their new homes. Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals.
