Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Outlaw was adopted from us on 2/20 and returned due to him tearing up doors while left alone. It is HIGHLY recommended you leave him in a crate when he is left alone, as he has shown to have separation anxiety when left alone in homes. Outlaw is a happy guy that loves to greet everyone. He lost his first home to a fire, and his family was not able to take him back. Outlaw is a very smart dog that understands "yes" and "no," and knows "sit" and "lay down." Outlaw is very dog selective and would do best as the only dog in the home. He does tend to resource guard his toys and food around other dogs. He can be a little strong on a leash and does have an issue with pulling; Outlaw is reactive towards other dogs on a leash and will lunge at them. Outlaw has a strong prey drive and will try to go after cats. He is pretty reactive towards horses and other livestock and should not be homed near them. His previous fosters said he was potty trained and did not have any accidents inside. He loves going on walks and taking car rides. If he is left loose without a passenger in the car, Outlaw will bounce around from seat to seat and eventually tries to get into the driver's lap. Outlaw loves baths and getting brushed, but absolutely hates when his feet are touched or grabbed. He loves attention, and would do well with older children that could play with him. His fosters stated that he LOVES playing fetch. He does have a tendency to chew on things he shouldn't if they are left where he can reach them. He has done well in a crate while his kennel is being cleaned. Outlaw does have a bad flea allergy, and will start to lose his fur and will scratch nonstop if he is exposed to fleas and does not have prevention. Outlaw is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative and on prevention.

More about this shelter
The Erath County Humane Society is a very active influence in the county offering shelter to homeless and unwanted animals. There is no charge for bringing in animals from within the county but all donations to the organization are very much appreciated. We cannot accept animals outside of Erath County. As we are usually at or past capacity, acceptance of owner surrenders is contingent on space available & there is a charge of $35. We are a no-kill facility and there is no time limit on healthy, non-aggressive animals that are in our care.
All dogs and cats adopted from the shelter must be spayed or neutered within a reasonable period of time, depending upon the age of the animal. This is in accordance with state law. Other requirements coincide with those ordinances on the books of the city of Stephenville such as vaccinations, tags, number of pets in the household, etc. Stephenville Police Department employs two officers to enforce those regulations.
Law enforcement agencies work with shelter employees and volunteers to bring charges against anyone who cruelly mistreats or improperly cares for animals in their custody.
The ECHS was organized on September 16, 1976 and is a chartered, non-profit corporation. The first shelter was the city pound to which the humane society added a small wooden building.
During 1977, ECHS began to do cruelty investigations of animals, particularly staged dog fights. During the following session of the state legislature, a bill co-sponsored by Senator Bob Glasgow, Stephenville, was passed making this practice a felony in the state of Texas.
In November of 1984 a climate controlled animal shelter was completed. The 40 by 16 foot building was constructed by a local contractor and cost $17,500 the cost of which, was donated by private citizens and businesses, with the help of fund raisers.
ECHS works together with the City of Stephenville and the County government in controlling the animal population in this area. Monetary support for the shelter includes $17,000 annually from the city of Stephenville and $18,000 from the county. ECHS owns and maintains the two buildings constructed on the property, the second structure having been completed in 1992. The Humane Society is staffed by one full time and three part time employees. They are assisted with the help of volunteers and some individuals doing public service.
The city has two salaried officers who make investigations inside the city limits concerning animal welfare. They are also responsible for capturing and bringing strays to the shelter. Animals are then processed by the shelter staff.
ECHS business hours are 2:00pm to 6:00pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 12:00 to 5:00 on Saturdays. We are closed on Wednesdays and Sundays and some holidays.
