My story

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

If you're into lowriders, Pokey might just be your guy. He's on the small side, 17 lbs., has the short legs of a dachshund and the cute face of a chihuahua. He's trained to use a doggie door and housetrained! Pokey came in with his brother Gumby when their owners lost their home. He came to live with us while he waits on his perfect new family. He is shy, and a bit afraid of new people. A home with a fenced yard will help with socializing Pokey. He need leash training, but with a yard would give him the confidence to go straight out.To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved. Due to the high volume of applications received, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet.

Tour/Adoption Hours:

During adoption hours we have volunteers available to show dogs and cats to the public. For safety/insurance reasons we can only allow those 12 years or older to go into the dog kennel wing of the shelter. We ask all visitors not to stick their fingers/hands into the dog kennels. Our adoptable dogs and cats are viewable through our website. Everyone interested in applying for a dog or cat must submit an application through our website. We receive multiple applications for each animal. Applications for particular animals are based on best fit for each animal based on each animal’s behaviors and needs. An application not being selected for a particular animal does not necessarily mean the application was denied, but just that another application was approved.
