About RJ

RJ has a sponsor who cares and has subsidized his fee to $25. RJ has been one of our most viewed and shared dogs during his 3+ years in our shelter. Yet he is still here. Every day he puts on a brave face to meet the public as he still has hope that the kennel in which he has lived for so long is not all that life has in store for him. One has only to view his video presentation on his FB page (https://www.facebook.com/smithgallhumanesociety/photos/a.872311996146401.1073741862.548822128495391/1817740511603540/?type=3&theater) to see the joy he experiences in being with someone he loves. RJ was saved from impending euthanasia at Animal Control in Dec 2014 when we brought him to our shelter. RJ loves, loves, loves people of all ages, sizes, genders. He does NOT like cats and they would not be safe in a house with RJ. Though he was dog friendly in the earlier period of his arrival, he slowly became dominating to some and openly aggressive to others which necessitated restricting his interaction to running alongside other dogs with fencing between them. We have great hopes that when he is out of the shelter environment, that he will feel relaxed as he was 3 years ago in order to have dog friends once again. However we will not adopt him into a home with dogs nor one with cats. RJ loves to give kisses and to take long walks. He is a medium sized boy and is now 4 years old. A securely already in place fenced yard is required. He is neutered, fully vaccinated and tested free of heart worms. Application can be submitted online at our website: https://www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/page/dog-adoption-application/ or at the shelter. Adoption policies/application procedures are detailed under All Adoptable Animals at the website. Adoption of all dogs/cats requires an approval process to ensure that they are going into a home suitable for their needs and committed to their care and safety. Each is placed with same due diligence that they would be given if they were our own furry family members. Adopters who are not within the local area of the shelter MUST come to the shelter to transport their new family member home. Meeting approved adopters is one of the final steps in the adoption process. We do not permit transport or shipping of our residents without the adopter. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter which provides quality care, spay/neuter-all vaccines, deworming, vet exam, standard disease testing and for dogs-monthly heart worm prevention treatment. Resident animals are owner relinquished and also accepted from local Animal Control. The shelter is not permitted by GA law to accept strays. The facility is usually operating at capacity with a list of animals approved for intake waiting for space to open. Adoption hours are Tues-Sat 10-4 and Sun 1-4.
