Please don’t let her spend another month in boarding.

Forever Friends Humane Society's Adoption Policy
I first screen potential adopters, make sure it's a good fit for the dog,if not I suggest a dog that will fit in properly, then I make sure there are no restrictions as in breed or weight. I do a meet and greet sometimes in the home with the dog sometimes without the dog,but always a home check prior to them getting a dog. Then foster to adopt which means fostering a dog for a period of a week (7 days) then they can decide to continue to foster or adopt. All dogs get 2 free training sessions with a certified trainer once adopted, she also comes to initial drop off or later that day to go over how to be a great new dog owner.

Avery is from Forever Friends Humane Society

Our Mission
We are here to save as many at risk dogs from the county shelters. We then rehibilitate and do some basic training prior to entering a home, then more training while in the home to ensure a successful adoption.
