My story

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

🐾 Meet Baby Face Nelson! 🐾

Baby Face Nelson is one of the brave 13 dogs rescued from a hoarding situation in a neighboring county. These tough little survivors spent their days outside, waiting for food and water to arrive, sharing a small pen with 11 other dogs. 🌧️ For that reason, we named them after famous tough guys and gals!

Despite his past, Baby Face Nelson is a sweet boy with a friendly demeanor around new people. He’s eager to connect and is very social with people and other dogs. Although having never spent a lot of time with larger dogs they can be a bit scary at first upon meeting them. 💖

Baby Face Nelson is still learning about all the fun things that can happen from leash walks. We do not know how he is with cats. We recommend a week-long foster-to-adopt trial to ensure it’s a good fit. Since Baby Face Nelson hasn’t lived with children before, we suggest that any kids in the home come to meet him before adoption.

Give Baby Face Nelson the loving home she deserves and watch him blossom! 🏡✨

Baby Face Nelson is estimated to be around 6 months old. He is thought to be a mix of chihuahua and Terrier. Baby Face Nelson weighs 14 lbs and may get a bit bigger before he is full grown. Baby Face Nelson is vaccinated, flea & tick treated, microchipped, and will be scheduled for his neuter. Baby Face Nelson's adoption fee is $300.

You can apply online for him at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sr2794&method=online_form_html&formid=21

Please put in an application for him on our website at www.highlandhumanesociety.org. Once processed we will set up a time for you to meet him.

Not all animals need an application but some may need one due to having special needs or not being spayed or neutered yet.

You can usually take a pet home same day on foster or adoption. Foster is for a week for compatibility. Not all animals qualify for foster

Additional adoption info

Once an animal is chosen, you will pay the adoption fee via cash or card. The card does charge a fee to use. If an animal is not spayed or neutered yet we will schedule it with one of our vets or you may schedule it at your own vet and receive a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $60 for cats.
