My personality

My story

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

Meet Hallie
This beautiful young dog is Hallie. Hallie ended up at a kill shelter when her owner got into trouble with the law. With no one to care for her, Hallie was taken to a kill shelter where she nearly received a death sentence through no fault of her own. Thankfully,
she got a stay of execution when we rescued her and brought her to our no-kill shelter. We are so glad that we had room for her. Hallie is exceptional and deserves a second chance.
Everyone who meets Hallie falls in love. Her pretty face and earnest eyes just melt your heart. All you want to do is make her feel safe and soothe her worries. Hallie is as gentle as they come. An innocent victim in a harsh world. She has a calm demeanor
and a sweet personality. Hallie is housetrained, has beautiful manners and loves riding in a car. She loves going for walks but can pull a little. A gentle leader harness may help with this issue. Hallie loves people and dogs. She might really enjoy having another dog in the home. She loves being with her people and would welcome a home that loves and cherishes her, one where she feels safe. Life until now has been a little dodgy for this young pup. Hallie is three years old. She weighs about 50 lbs. She seems small for her size, probably because she is so quiet. Hallie is fully vetted. We’ll test her with cats for potential adopters. Hallie is a wonderful pup. If a family or person is looking for home-ready, lovely young dog to welcome to your heart and home, Hallie is about as perfect as they come.
If interested in Hallie, please submit an application online at: https://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 or 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.

Additional adoption info

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.

More about this shelter

Charles Smithgall Humane Society (est 1994) is a small no-kill shelter which utilizes our adoption center, social media and offsite events to seek safe and appropriate homes for our residents. Our mission is to provide safe sanctuary and all standard preventive care procedures and veterinary services to the dogs and cats of our local communities Intakes are primarily owner relinquishments with some animals accepted from animal control when space is available. All potential adopters must be evaluated through our approval process. We are funded 100% by donations and fundraising events. With the exception of 2 kennel managers, our operations are totally managed with volunteers. We are always in need of donations and volunteers. We appreciate the sharing of our pets on social media as most of our adoptions have resulted through the resources of the internet.
