Hi! I'm Boo. I've been here at the shelter for quite a long time, over 6 months, in fact. I did have a home at one time, but the people who had me felt I was too excitable around the children and put me in a kennel in the backyard. For two years I barely got any people time at all, and the sad thing is - I LOVE people! Outdoors I'm all about exploring my environment, but indoors I'm all about cuddling and rolling over for belly rubs. I am middle aged, 7 whole years old, but you wouldn't know it. I have a nice shiny coat, bright eyes, and plenty of energy. In my new home, I will need a loving and gentle leader on my side, and I would do best being the only dog in the home...And no kennels or tie outs please! Some people are intimidated by me because I am a Rottweiler, they get a bad rap sometimes. All I want to do is share the love. Please come and meet me, and let me show you how sweet I really am. Because Boo has been with us for so long, we have reduced her adoption fee to $60.10 in the hopes of finding her a forever home soon. |
The Mission of the Green Hills Animal Shelter is to provide a comprehensive community-based animal care, education and adoption program by providing a safe haven for abandoned, abused and neglected animals; educating the public on responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering animals;and encouraging and facilitating the adoption of available animals by appropriate and responsible community members.
In an effort to find forever homes as soon as possible for our longest term residents, we have reduced adoption fees on select dogs. Currently, this list includes the following dogs: Ali, Bass, Boo, Cowboy, Jake, Linda, Pepper, Reed, Sparky and Vern. Please see their individual profiles for specific information.
We are seeking a permanent, loving, responsible home for all companion animals. So that we may be assured that the animal you wish to adopt is best suited to you, your home, and your lifestyle and is placed in an environment that is capatible with his/her needs, we ask that you complete an application. Please note we have two separate applications, one for cats and one for dogs. In order for you to adopt an animal, we need you to . . . - be sure that you are financially able to provide for the animals's needs. This includes food, supplies, license and veterinary care. - be sure that you have adequate time to spend with your new pet, including training, exercising and grooming. - have your landlord's permission to bring an animal into his/her property - have the consent of all adults in your household. - be at least 18 years of age and have verifiable identification. - complete this application in full and discuss it with a GHAS employee or volunteer. - understand that this an adoption, not a sale. GHAS reserves the right to postpone or refuse an adoption. If your application is approved, you will be asked to pay the adoption fee and sign an adoption contract.

You will be financially responsible for any fee in excess of $50 for the sterilization. In addition, you will be financially responsible for having your dog vaccinated against rabies within 10 days of your adoption date. Dogs must be sterilized within 30 days of the adoption date.
