Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Canyon
We love this boy! We rescued Canyon from a high-kill shelter. He is a senior lab/beagle
mix who was on the euth list. An older dog like, Canyon, virtually had no chance to
make it out alive. Once we saw his sweet face we pulled him. No senior dog deserves
to end up scared and alone left to die in a kill shelter.
From the minute we rescued Canyon, he has been a real joy. We think he may be about
nine years old. He is full of life, love and happiness. He’s lived a rough life, but he is so
grateful to be alive. Canyon is a terrific dog. He’ll make for a wonderful and loving
companion for an older couple, a couple less active or a family with kids. He loves
people! Canyon is perfect. He is sweet, affectionate, friendly, even-tempered, and
happy-go-lucky. Canyon doesn’t act his age, but that of a dog much younger. He is very
active and energetic. He can get in and out of a car easily. He settles in and loves
watching the traffic go by. He is so gentle, taking treats and welcoming pets. He loves to
snuggle into your hands for a scratch and reassurance that you’re with him. Canyon
enjoys walking on a leash, playing in a yard or relaxing on a couch.
Canyon is a medium sized boy. He has a beautiful glossy coat with just a little bit of a
frosty face, warm brown eyes and he always looks like he’s smiling. He exudes warmth
and confidence. Canyon likes other dogs. We’ll test him with cats, if needed. If you love
older dogs or simply want a happy, sweet, affectionate and fun pup to be your constant
companion and best friend, Canyon may be exactly who you’re looking for. We think he
is house-trained too – bonus!
If interested in Canyon, please submit a dog application found online at
www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org Please call our shelter at 706-865-4135 or
email us (smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net) to make sure we received your
application. 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.
Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No Kill shelter. Animals in our care
remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished
rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually is operating
at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.

Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No Kill shelter. Animals in our care
remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are either owner relinquished
rescued from area Animal Controls or high kill shelters. The facility usually is operating
at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.
Our adoption process begins with the submission of an application which is used to gather information and initiate conversation with the adopting person/family. The form also assists us with assessing the environment for suitability and safety in the placement of our residents. The application is the first step in the approval process, followed by veterinarian reference check, landlord approval confirmation if relevant and a home visit which may be done physically or virtually depending on the distance from the shelter. The approval process can be initiated either before or after a visit to the shelter to visit our residents. The application for dogs is located on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.1073741865.548822128495391/1271213192922944/?type=3&theater . For cat application, go to: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.1073741865.548822128495391/1271223856255211/?type=3&theater . The forms will be automated for online submission through a new website currently under construction with an anticipated launch date of no later than Nov 2016. Requirements for adoption are specific to the needs of the animal in addition to standard checks for safety issues. Adopters must come to the shelter once approved to take their adopted pet home. We do not ship nor do we transport. Submitting the form is neither a guarantee of adoption nor an entitlement to "first come,first served" in the selection process of safely and appropriately placing our residents. Decision to approve/not approve an adopter(s) is based on the needs of the dog, not the needs of the adopter. The application should be downloaded before printing. The completed form can be returned through Facebook Messages, emailing to: smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net or delivery to the shelter. The process usually takes 1 to 3 business days but can be slowed by not completing all of the questions, difficulty in reaching people relevant to approval and scheduling a home visit. Our residents must be returned to us at any point in time if the adoption is no longer suitable/safe for the pet or circumstances have changed to where a new home is needed. A contract must be signed to complete the adoption process. Standard fees for dogs are $100 and for cats $85. Some fees are subsidized in various amounts as low as $25 (minimum allowed subsidized fee) for dogs and $20 (minimum allowed subsidized fee) for cats . All of our animals are spay/neutered, have age appropriate vaccines and are free of internal parasites. Dogs are tested for heart worms and put on monthly prevention. Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.
