My story

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

Romeo-Walker needs a permanent home! He was found and dropped off at the vet’s office with a broken leg and fractured pelvis. His leg may have to be amputated but, in spite of all he has been through, this little Romeo is only concerned about being loved on! He is so incredibly loving and sweet. In addition to the broken leg, fractured pelvis and wound on his tail, he came in extremely thin and malnourished, dirty and no indication of having been cared for in his short lifetime. However, the attention, love and tender care he received by the staff at the vet’s office worked wonders on his young heart and turned him into a little Romeo. His surname is in honor of one of his hero's that lavished him with love.

We have no history on this adorable, purring Romeo but we can tell you he is not afraid of the dogs he’s been around! He tried really hard to snuggle up and love on one of the dogs he has met while hanging at the vet clinic. The vet thinks he is probably anywhere from 8-10 months old. He is being neutered, given needed vaccinations and should be ready for his new home in a few days - pending the decision on whether the leg needs to be amputated. Romeo just needs a family to love him, especially while he heals.

Please share him so he can find a home for Christmas!!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee for dogs is $85 and cats $75 (we will discount if more than one pet is adopted at the same time or the adoptee is taking on some type of medical care). We do allow out-of-state adoptions, however, transportation is the responsibility of the adopter.

We require a completed adoption application with a vet reference provided. We screen all applications prior to a meet and greet and we will call your vet to verify your information. Adoption applications are approved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration matching the needs of the pet to an owner. Some long distance adoptions may also require a home visit from a local animal rescuer in the adopter’s area.

HSTC is an all volunteer organization - we have no paid staff and we DO NOT have a shelter. The majority of our pets are in individual foster homes with fosters who work full time jobs - some of our dogs are in boarding at one of our vet's offices. We make every effort to respond to questions and make contact on applications within 24-48 hours of receiving them. Please be patient with us.

Go meet their pets

HSTC partners with the local PetSmart store in Albany Georgia in adopting our cats into permanent homes. We rotate our cats every two weeks to keep them from getting too bored or stressed while in the adoption center. Our foster homes are happy to work with anyone that would like information on any of our cats that are not currently in rotation and housed at the PetSmart adoption center. Please do not hesitate to email us for information on how to meet your new best friend!

HSTC holds small adoption events at PetSmart in Albany, GA on the first and third weekends of each month where you can meet some of our dogs available for adoption. PetSmart Charities holds national adoption events during the months of February, May, September and November and HSTC participates in each of these national events. HSTC does not hold our normal first and third weekend events during the months of the national adoption events. We are happy to schedule a meet and greet with potential adopters who would like to meet particular dogs once an application is approved.
