Ella's Story

I am 52lbs, and l am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $75 Meet Ella – your future best friend! Ella is a beautiful, smart girl who may be shy when first meeting new people, but once she warms up, her sweet, playful, and loyal personality shines through. She adores her people deeply and forms strong bonds, making her a truly devoted companion. Because she loves her humans so much, Ella can be protective of them. She’ll thrive in a calm, adult-only home where she can be the center of attention and the only dog. Once she feels safe, Ella’s affectionate nature and playful spirit will brighten every day. Looking to open your heart and home? Ella is also available for general fostering while she waits for her forever family. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family. Animal House Shelter cannot guarantee the breeds of the adoptable animals. The animals are posted on the website as the breed or breed mix based on their physical characteristics they most resemble. We also cannot guarantee the ages of our adoptable animals or how large puppies will be when fully grown. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Animal House Shelter's Adoption Policy

All adoption donations MUST be in cash, money order, traveler’s check, cashier’s check or by VISA, DISCOVER, MASTERCARD, or AMERICAN EXPRESS credit card only. NO PERSONAL CHECKS PLEASE. You must be at least 21 years old to adopt. All members of the household must be present, including any other dogs you may currently own, in order to do a final adoption (cats do not have to come to the shelter. We will cat test here because we know how stressful it is on the cats to be transported). Dogs and cats that you currently own must be current on distemper & rabies vaccinations prior to visiting the shelter or any adoption. Fill out the Online Application and submit. We do not allow anyone to put a pet “on hold”, no exceptions. Adoption Donations for dogs & puppies ranges from $75-$700 (each individual profile will state the adoption donation) Adoption Donations for cats & kittens ranges from $50-$300 (each individual profile will state the adoption donation) At time of adoption an adoption counselor will take you through the process and answer any questions you may have, as well as ask you questions regarding the adoption. We have adoption hours 11am-7pm Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sun. Sat our adoption hours are from 9am-7pm. We are open 365 days a year (including all Holidays). We are currently open by apppointment only, with an approved application on file. We microchip, spay/neuter, heartworm test or FeLV/FIV test and give vaccinations to all animals. They are also all on Heartgard Plus & Frontline Plus every month while in our care. We do require that when you adopt one of our cats/kittens that they are taken home in an appropriate carrier. You can bring in your own carrier or we can supply you with a cardboard carrier for $10. Please Remember, all other dogs and family members must be present at the shelter for any final adoption. The website www.animalhouseshelter.com is always kept 100% up to date with who is currently available. As soon as they are adopted, they are moved to the Adopted Pets page so if they are still listed on the Adoptable Dogs page, they are still available. So keep any eye on the site for any animals being added as available for adoption as new animals are added everyday! We recommend if you haven’t done so already that you submit a general online adoption application with us so it is on file for when you are ready to come out and adopt. The adoption counselors will be able to show you many that would be a good fit for your family. So it is always best that you get your general application for any dog or cat in with us as soon as possible.
