Dolly's Story

This is Dolly, a pure bred Great Dane 2-3 years old. Dolly was part of an extreme hoarding case - this &#34;owner&#34; had 25-30 dogs and cats living inside a 1200 square foot home. We were contacted about a shy Dane that needed a place to go as the shelters in the area were all full. We agreed to take her in. When Dolly first arrived, she was nothing but skin and bones. She also could not see - she had the worst case of &#34;cherry eye&#34; our vet had ever seen (you could not tell if she eve had eye balls) -she was also heartworm positive. It has been a slow process bringing Dolly back to a healthy state. She has undergone a couple of eye surgeries and treated for heartworms. We are happy to report that she is now healthy and ready to be adopted! Thankfully, her eyesight is now quite good and she is at normal weight - her treatment for heartworms went very well! Dolly is a bit shy until she gets to know you (understandable after everything she went through). She is sweet once she is acquainted with you. She would do best in a quiet home - she is fine with other dogs that are calm like her, she seems to be fine with cats too. Small children would likely be intimidating to her -teenagers would be fine. She knows some basic commands and walks well on leash. She is up to date with shots, spayed, treated for heartworms/on prevention and crate trained. After everything she has been through, Dolly deserves a home that will love and spoil her! If that is you, please complete an adoption application at our website at www.myhstc.org<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $85 and includes all veterinary care<br/><br/>We prescreen all applicants prior to a meeting. To be screened, please complete an application at www.myhstc.org<br/><br/>We do allow out of state adoptions. However, we do not ship nor transport sight unseen pets for many reasons. We require travel in person adoption.

The adoption fee for dogs is $85 and cats $75 (we will discount if more than one pet is adopted at the same time or the adoptee is taking on some type of medical care).

Adoption applications are approved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration matching the needs of the pet to an owner.
