Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rosie
This little nugget, Rosie, is a wonderful dog. She is safe in our care now, but sadly, she's led a life of neglect and abuse. Rosie didn't deserve any of what happened to her, but thankfully a kind family member saw her plight and had her surrendered to us. Rosie has been decompressing in foster care with one of our staff members. She is enjoying her time inside where she's warm and safe with people who love her. Rosie is a tiny pug mix. She weighs about 20 lbs., so skinny and fragile. Her eyes show her defeat, but her demeanor shows her hope. She's 10-12 years old.
Rosie has lived outside for the past four years. She was left behind with a friend and this person never even cared enough to know if she was a girl or boy. They just threw her out back in a fenced pen filled with junk, where she was left out in all sorts of weather and at the mercy of predators. She received no care, barely any food and definitely no love. We are making up for lost time. Rosie these days only knows kind words, warm blankets, good food and safety. Rosie has seen a vet. She did so well, and the vet staff loved her. Thankfully Rosie is HW negative, her lungs look clear, and her lumps and bumps are not cancer. Rosie, however, does suffer from kidney disease. This illness cannot be cured, but it can be managed with proper food for kidney disease and Benazepril. Rosie is such a sweetheart. She gets around great. She loves walking and exploring. She is so gentle and friendly. Rosie does great with people, likes other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. She is well-mannered. Rosie travels well, likes to go places and is one terrific companion. Rosie has a lot of life to live and love to give. We are searching for a loving family to care for Rosie through her golden years. To give her the love, safety, protection and companionship that she missed out on her whole life.
If you love the seniors and are interested in giving Rosie a wonderful life, please submit an application online at: www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org. Once an application is submitted online, you will receive an email saying your application has been successfully submitted. If you don't receive this email within 24 hours, please check to make sure all application fields were completed or please call our shelter at 706-865- 4135. 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: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. 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 operates at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open.

Adoption policies and application procedures are detailed at the shelter website: http://charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/ under tab All Adoptable Animals. 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 operates 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.
