Kayenta's Story

Note from a volunteer:<br/><br/>Kayenta and I have been walking buddies ever since her arrival at LPCHS. She is a dog who knows her own mind, and often tells me where we're going to walk on any given day. She is the definition kindness and gentleness. <br/><br/>She recently visited the kids at Park Elementary's summer camp program, and behaved like a champ. A little overwhelmed at first, but in her defense, it was a group of 40 excitable kids. I've never once seen Kayenta act aggressive towards people or other dogs. She genuinely cares and loves her fellow dog friends. <br/><br/>She's not demanding of treats, and is pretty picky about what you have to offer, but I was able to find one bacon treat that she is quite fond of! Kayenta's favorite place for scratching is her hind quarters.<br/><br/>Kayenta would be a terrific addition to any family. Come by and say hi, you won't be disappointed.

La Plata County Humane Society's Adoption Policy
Before you begin your pet adoption journey, be sure you can answer "yes" to the questions below: • Are you at least 18 years old? • Do you have a valid photo ID with current address? (If your current address is not listed on your ID, you will need to provide a current utility bill or payment stub with your name and current address for verification) • Do you reside where pets are welcome? (If you rent, landlord approval is required. Find out about pet deposits and fees prior to adopting) • Are you able to care for the animal? It is an investment in time and money, so consider feeding, grooming, training, supplies and providing regular veterinary care. Prior to adoption, think about what type of pet you would like to adopt. Are you ready to bring the pet home? Gather the goods: food, collar/tags, toys, beds and grooming supplies. Give yourself plenty of time to visit the shelter, meet with pet you are interested in adopting, and complete the application. The adoption process can take an hour or more depending on the animal. We also perform a required "meet n' greet" with any current pet/s you have. Your patience is appreciated during the adoption process. The Adoption Process: 1. View our available pets online at lpchumanesociety.org. If you are interested in a pet for adoption, submit an online application under the "How To Adopt" page on our website. Make sure to include a copy of a valid photo ID and proof of address. 2. Once your application has been approved, a shelter team member will call you to set up an appointment. All adoptions are by appointment only. You will meet with the pet you're interested in adopting and one of our adoption counselors. They will help guide you in finding the perfect match for your family. If you’re adopting a dog and already have a dog living in your home, you will need to bring your dog/s in for a required “meet n’ greet” before adoption is approved. 4. If the pet is a match, you will complete the final adoption paperwork, pay the adoption fee and $10 license fee (all dogs are required by law to be licensed La Plata County). In most cases you can leave with your new family member right away. Cats must leave in a humane cat carrier and dogs are required to leave in a collar with a leash. Please remember to bring a humane cat carrier or dog leash and collar when you pick up your pet. If you do not have these items, we have them available for purchase. 5. Congratulation on your new family member! Please keep us updated; we love to hear from our adopters and how our alumni are doing. Email update to happytails@lpchumanesociety.org.
