Filo's Story

Meet Filo, a one-year-old German Shepherd looking for his second chance! Filo hasn't had the easiest start in life. He came to HART from a dog hoarding situation and, as a result, struggles with some anxiety. But this handsome boy has so much potential. He just needs the right person to help him shine!<br/><br/>Filo is a high-drive, intelligent, and trainable pup who thrives with structure and purpose. Because of his past, he can take a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he'll be your loyal shadow for life. He loves having a job to do and is eager to please when given structure and consistency.<br/><br/>When he gets frustrated or anxious, Filo can become a bit mouthy, but with proper training, exercise, and engagement, he channels that energy into learning and working. Filo would make an incredible working dog or active companion for someone who can give him the focus and purpose he craves.<br/><br/>Filo will do best in a home that can provide structure, patience, and a clear training plan. We're asking future adopters to include a plan for his training and daily structure when bringing him home. This will be key to helping him decompress, stay engaged, and thrive.<br/><br/>To help Filo succeed, Scott Holliday from K9 Solutions in Grantsville has generously offered four free training classes for his adopter! This will help set him up for success and strengthen his bond with his new family. Because we believe so deeply in Filo's potential, we've also waived his adoption fee.<br/><br/>Please note: You must live within a 175-mile radius of our facility to be considered for adoption.<br/><br/>To fill out an online application to adopt this pet, cut and paste this link: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/2627/generic<br/><br/>You can also find a link to our online adoption application on our website at www.hartforanimals.org/adopt or on our Petfinder homepage. We process applications in the order they are received; therefore, it could take UP TO 2 weeks for us to respond to your application. Please do not send us an inquiry unless you have specific questions.<br/><br/>All our dogs and puppies are spayed or neutered, vaccinated for rabies, Bordetella, and distemper/parvo, treated with flea/ tick medication, tested for heartworm and Lyme disease, and given a microchip before being adopted into their new homes.

Our Adoption Wing is open to the public during regular business hours. If you have submitted an adoption application, please wait for communication from us, either by phone or email. We process applications in the order they are received for each pet. If your application has been processed, we will call to set up an appointment time for you to meet the pet you are interested in adopting. If the pet has been adopted, we will notify you via email. It may take up to 2 weeks before you hear from us. If we do not adopt that particular pet to you, we will keep your application on file for up to 6 months. Please notify us by email if you are interested in another pet. Please use the Adoption Application Button on the right on this page to submit your Adoption Application online. GOING HOME Once you and our staff have determined that the pet is a good match for you, the next step is to take your new dog or cat home. If you're ready to take your new pet home, you should come prepared with a leash and collar for your new dog and a cat carrier for your new cat. You may also purchase these items here at the HART Shoppe. Please have photo identification with proof of your current address. Once all the paperwork is signed and the adoption fee paid, we will send you home with your new pet's medical records, microchip registration, and other important information about your new family member! FEES Adoption Fees cover the first round of vaccinations, spay/neuter costs, microchipping, and more. Dogs: $225 (6 months and older) Puppies: $250 (5 months and younger) Cats/Kittens: $85 Seniors (8 years and older) 1/2 off! Please note: We only adopt to homes within a 175-mile radius of the HART Animal Center, because we do not want distance to be a factor if the adoption doesn't work out, and the pet needs to be returned. Please note: if you are approved for adopting a pet, we will only hold the pet for 48 hours before moving on to the next adopter.
