My story

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

GENTLE SOUL + A PERFECT FIRST DOG!
Skeeter is a quiet and gentle guy who loves chin rubs and snuggles with his people. He gets along with everybody and is adored by everyone he meets. Going for a walk with Skeeter is a joy as he travels on a loose leash and does not get worked up about anything. Skeeter enjoys car rides, going to brunch, and trips to Home Depot. He sleeps in a crate, has never had an accident in the house, and is very polite at family dinner. He is currently learning sit, down, and stay. He would be a perfect first dog, family dog, or addition to the doggy family.

*UTD on shots
*neutered
*crate trained
*house trained
*GREAT with people and dogs!
*~1.5 years old and 53 pounds

Skeeter's foster home does not have cats or kids, but we suspect that he would get along with them just as well as he does people, dogs, horses, and donkeys!
Don't hesitate to reach out and learn more about Skeeter--he is looking forward to meeting you!

Our Adoption Process
1. Begins with a simple online application to help us understand your needs and what you would like in your furry friend.
2. Next, we invite you to send us a virtual walk through of your home including where the dog will sleep, play, and stay when you are away.
3. We move forward with a meet and greet! Personal chemistry is important and both the adopter and pup need to be feelin’ it.
4. We deliver your new family member to your home where you sign the adoption contract and present proof of paid enrollment in a basic obedience course. If you need help finding a reputable trainer please ask us for recommendations!

More about this rescue

The Dog House Rescue is the pet project of two dog lovers that wandered into a municipal animal shelter to pick up one new family member and left with seven. Like much of the public, we had mistakenly believed that most shelters are able to provide a no-kill haven for homeless animals. Due to overcrowding, the euthanasia rate at that facility alone is 80%. With the average dog having less than one week to find an adopter, it is easy to find great dogs who were simply born in an unfortunate geographic area.

We exist to help bridge the gap between loving homes seeking good citizen companions and good natured dogs looking for an opportunity to show their stuff. Those that have found themselves in a shelter (through no fault of their own) and would otherwise be euthanized for space are given medical treatment, spayed/neutered, and trained so that they may continue to be good citizens in their forever families.

All residents at The Dog House are considered family for life. We understand that personal tragedies happen. If a Dog House member is ever unable to continue in their adopted home, they are welcomed back with open arms. Having already survived the shelter once, our promise to them is to never be homeless again.
