My Story
Barney is a beautiful example of a Harrier hound; about 1 year old, small-medium build, about 35#, rides good in the car, great with other dogs, good on the leash, crate trained, house broken, and best of all; he is at a professional dog trainer's facility where he is being used to train new staff! He will be a 'made' dog when he graduates! Some lucky family will have it all; a professionally trained dog, small-med size, and a super loving, friendly, fun companion. Barney is very affectionate, loads of personality and a kind soul. Stay tuned here for further updates to his progress.
Barney's adoption fee is $125. Barney is completely vetted; neutered/spayed, heartworm tested negative, up-to-date on all vaccines, plus rabies, wormed, deflead, and currently on heartworm preventative meds as well as a flea/tick preventative.
If you are interested in meeting Barney, please fill out an adoption application at www.louisahumanesociety.com, click on the “paw” for Adoption Application. Once submitted, the vet reference you provided will be contacted (if no vet, please provide 3 personal references, may be family and friends as long as they have a dog that you interact with) and then you will be contacted by the foster parent to discuss the animal and arrange the logistics for a visit. Our rescue group does not have a brick and mortar facility, all our animals are home fostered in our volunteer’s houses. You will be visiting a private residence. The application does not oblige you to adopt, nor does the visitation; the application just gives us more info to help ensure a good match.
Our policy is that we always take our animals back should it prove to be a less than perfect match, or if you are unable or unwilling to care for the animal any longer. We just don't want the animal to go back into the system.
Thank you for considering an unwanted and abandoned dog, and being part of the rescue efforts.
