Story
HAPPY is approximately 7-9 months old and spent 2 months waiting for rescue from Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter. HAPPY is a mixed breed (we suspect he has a little lab or golden retriever in him) and he will be a large boy once full grown! HAPPY is working on his bravery and confidence. He is most comfortable when other dogs are around.  HAPPY is crate trained, walks well on leash, is easily redirected from puppy curiosity and does well with every dog he meets! He is respectful of cats and welcomes pets from children. HAPPY needs an adopter who will continue building his confidence and one who understands it takes time for a loving bond to develop! Dogs and puppies are spayed or neutered, Heartworm negative, microchipped, appropriately vaccinated and treated for parasites. Applications to adopt can be found at harthumane.org. If you cannot adopt a pet at this time but would like to support our rescue, donations can be mailed to Hart County Humane Society P.O. BOX 1062 Hartwell GA. 30643 or online at harthumane.org. The Hart County Humane Society is an all-volunteer rescue, we receive no government funding and rely on donations to fund our lifesaving programs ##2238163##

Story
This is Duke, a pure bred Great Dane less than a year old.  Duke was purchased as a very young puppy from a very kind lady who ended up becoming too ill to take care of him.  She gave him to a family that she thought would take good care of him but instead, let him run loose.  He was picked up in the middle of a busy intersection by animal control.  They did not want to give him back to the family (and the original owner agreed) and brought him to us to find anew home.  Duke is an absolute sweetheart with a wonderful disposition.  He is very affectionate and loves everyone -he is good with other dogs and cats an is accustomed to being around children.  He knows some basic commands and is healthy.  He is likely not full grown.  Duke is up to date with shots, neutered, negative for heartworms/on prevention, and crate trained.  For adoption, please submit an adoption application at www.myhstc.org Adoption fee is $85 and includes all veterinary care We prescreen all applicants prior to a meeting.  To be screened, please submit an application at www.myhstc.org We do allow out of state adoptions.  However, we do not ship or transport sight unseen pets for many reasons.  We require travel in person adoption. ##2258165##
