My story

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

Meet Rainy
Rainy is an exceptional young dog. She looks to be a red heeler (Australian cattle dog)/Australian Kelpie mix, maybe with some Carolina Dog. She is just two years old and pawfect, except for the heartworms that she carries.
We rescued Rainy from a high-kill shelter and brought her to the safety of our no-kill shelter. We've begun treating her heartworms. She's doing well and we expect her to be back to running around once she receives a clean bill of health. Rainy is extremely friendly, happy and confident. So much so that she was often used to help the previous shelter temperament test incoming dogs. She loves dogs and is great with them. She has a welcoming demeanor and is socially solid when being introduced. Rainy also likes cats and she definitely loves people.
Rainy has a fun and outgoing personality. She is friendly, affectionate, smart, athletic, yet calm. She has a beautiful red dappled coat, warm brown eyes and always seems to be smiling. She is medium size at about 40 lbs. She enjoys traveling and is a good leash walker. She is housetrained and has obviously been loved and trained in her past. She knows how to sit, shake, and be adorable! Rainy will chase a tennis ball all day and drop it right between her paws. This activity has been paused until she is fully recovered. Rainy is a delight and makes us happy just being around her.
If you love a heeler mix, Rainy is wonderful. Get your application in at www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org. Please email our shelter (smithgallhumanesociety@windstream.net) or call our shelter at 706-865-4135 and leave a message 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: 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.
