Maggie's Story

Maggie is a 5-6 year old cute Chihuahua who was originally adopted by a very nice, very good supporter of our rescue group from a shelter (not us). One of their current dogs is quite elderly and is losing her sight. The elderly dog began accidently bumping into Maggie and this would startle her and she was not sure what was going on and it began creating a conflict in their home. They felt is best to rehome her but did not want anything to happen to her (absolustely did not want to return her to the kill shelter) and asked for our help and we certainly agreed to take her in. They have loved her very much and in other circumstances would kept her -they have taken great care of her since they took her in. Maggie needed vet work and some socialization and this couple did all lof this and more. Like most chi's, she believes herself to be a "big dog"- most Chi owners will tell you that is typical of the breed. If she is adopted to a home with other dogs, she needs to be fed seperately and prefers to be the lead dog. She is good with people and teenage children would be fine. We do not know about cats. She likes to ride in a car, is a good lap dog enjoys going for walks and knows some basic commands -she always knows how to use a dog door. Maggie is up to date with shots, spayed, heartworm negative/on prevention and housebroken. For adoption, please visit our website at www.myhstc.org and complete an adoption application.<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $85<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.

Humane Society of Terrell County's Adoption Policy
All HSTC pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, dewormed and on monthly prevention medications for heartworms and fleas; it is our goal to make sure all pets are healthy while under our care. 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). We do allow out-of-state adoptions, however, transportation is the responsibility of the adopter.  We require a completed adoption application with a vet reference provided.  We will call your vet to verify your information. Adoption applications are approved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration matching the needs of the pet to an owner. Some long distance adoptions may also require a home visit from a local animal rescuer in the adopter’s area.  HSTC does not have a shelter!! We are a network of foster homes in the Dawson (Terrell), Alban
