Zelda's Story

Zelda is a 5 year old, mixed breed. In October 2025, she was brought to the shelter after being found as a stray. Zelda is spayed, updated on her vaccinations, flea treated, dewormed, and microchipped. This girl is a little shy around strangers at first, but she warms up after only a treat or two and after that she'll be your best bud for life. Zelda is a lover of belly rubs, food (but who isn't), and comfy nights curled on the couch. Zelda would do best in a home without any other dogs. She is housetrained and should adjust well once she gets used to her new family's schedule. If you are interested in adopting Zelda, please fill out an adoption application using our website and a member of staff will be in touch with you as soon as possible. You are also more than welcome to stop in anytime during our regular business hours and meet Zelda in person! Feel free to call the shelter at (814) 834-3247 if you have any questions.

Elk County Humane Society's Adoption Policy

Adopting a new friend from the Elk County Humane Society is really very simple. All you have to do is fill out our application for the dog or cat you are interested in. This can be done right at the shelter or by filling out the online application on our website. The application contains some questions to help us get to know you better. Supply a few non-family references that can vouch for your ability to care for an animal. We do require any dog or cat at home to have a valid/current rabies vaccination and you will be required to bring proof when adopting. When the paperwork is all done a "meet and greet" with other family dog(s) will be encouraged. Once everything is approved, we will fill out the paperwork to make it all official, unless the pet is not yet spayed or neutered then they will be put on foster until they are fixed. If it doesn't work out, don't worry! We offer a 90 day return policy where your adoption fee will be refunded if your new pet turns out to not be the best fit. All dog adopters must leave the shelter with either a yearly or lifetime license before adopting their new best friend. Easy, right?
