Description:

Meet WoodrowWe love Woodrow. This handsome boy is a gentle giant. He was surrendered to us after his original owner walked away, leaving him locked in an apartment. The apartment worker who found him tried keeping him, but the manager wouldn’t let him. As a result, “Woody” has been safe with us for nearly five years, but living at our shelter is no way to live. Woody is so loved by our staff and volunteers, but our greatest wish is to see him land softly with a person or family of his own. Woody is now 7.5 years old. He’s a gem that deserves so much more in life. Woody loves people. He lives for attention. When he sees his favorite people, his whole body wiggles and he can hardly contain his excitement. In addition to people, Woody lives for water – sprinklers, pools, lakes, hoses, buckets – you name it if it has water Woody loves it! Our favorite summertime fun is to watch Woody jump in the baby pools and splash around. Woody is still an active pup, but he’s calming down and maturing. Woodrow is housetrained. He walks well on a leash and loves going for walks. He also loves car rides. Woodrow is exceptionally smart and learns quickly. He is well behaved in his kennel and out. Woodrow is just a big sweetheart towards people. Woodrow doesn’t seem to like dogs or cats and will do best as an only pet. Having gone without love, food, toys and other resources early on, Woody is known to guard his resources when other dogs are nearby. Woody gets occasional sleepovers with a favorite volunteer. He loves these times away and transitions easily into the home environment. Woody may be a bigger boy, but he lives small and he’s quiet. He needs a fenced yard to play and sun himself. He will make for a fantastic companion for a less active person or family. He’d be a great travel buddy and constant companion. He relishes quiet time, soft blankets a kind hand and snuggle time. He’s well-mannered, friendly, affectionate, calm, quiet, and dignified. Even after five years, he’s still a big, silly and goofy hippo, but lately we’ve seen signs of depression in our once happy hippo. A little less sparkle, a little less excitement and a little less interest in things. Woody needs someone to show him that his life matters and who understands dog behavior and can build up Woody’s confidence again. We pray that his furever person comes for him and gives him his happy back. If interested in giving Woody a soft landing,please submit an application online at: https://www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org or email us for an application. If you submit an online application, please email or call us so we can verify we have it. Our email is XXXX@windstream.net.

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.984873858223547.107374XXXX.548822128495391/1271213192922944/?type=3&theater . For cat application, go to: https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.984873858223547.107374XXXX.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: XXXX@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 .
