My story

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

Scrappy came to us several years ago from animal control where he had been surrendered by his owner, along with another dog, because they could no longer care for them. We found him a home 3 years ago but his new family has also fallen on hard times and can no longer care for him so he is back with us. For a period of time Scrappy resided in the bathroom with very little outside time and little human contact. Recently, we took him to the vet to get his shots updated. He loves car rides; hops right in and enjoys the sights. Scrappy is overweight by about 10-15 lbs. He is a low rider with a big head. He is friendly, walks on a leash but pulls because he is out of practice. His adoption fee is $300.00~~If you are interested in this animal, you can complete the questionnaire found on the available pets page of our website http://hbpr.org. You can also email homeward@ellijay.com, contact us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HBPR30540/ or call 706-698-4663.

Thank you for considering a rescue dog or cat! Don't shop when you can adopt!
