Meet Dewey
Dewey was found starving and rummaging through trash at a campground in the National Forest. He only weighed 32 pounds. He was brought to the shelter and we started him on a feeding regiment giving him small amounts numerous times a day. Dewey was heart worm positive and received treatment once he reached a healthy weight. He also had a severe infection that we treated with antibiotics. Dewey is now a healthy 62 pounds and his blood work shows no signs of infection! Despite his struggles, Dewey has been a BIG SWEETHEART through everything. He loves affection and just wants to be held and cuddled. He gives us hugs and lays in our laps, even though he is a large dog. Dewey also enjoys playing with other dogs and going for walks. He is house trained, neutered, up to date on shots and ready to find his new family! If you would like more information, please contact our shelter at 870-269-5200 or go to our website at www.schspets.org and complete an adoption application and someone will contact you for a meet and greet.
Adoption Process
We have an adoption application that can be found on our website and sent to our email or people call or inquire through adopt-a pet and petfinder where all our animals are posted and our FB page we call Stone County Humane Society Adoptions Available. It is a group page we use to find owners of lost pets as well as post our animals ready for adoption. Our normal FB page got hacked a few years ago and I have never set one up again. Our adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $50 for cats, and $150 for a trained dog through a local Paws in Prison training program we participate in every 8 weeks we send 2 dogs to be trained and adopted through this program. Our adoption fees include spay/neuter, rabies shots, 2 cat/dog shots and more for puppies, 4DXPlus Idexx Snap test for heartworm, ehrlichia, lime and one other disease, and worm medicine. We ask for vet references and get all the information we can to determine if a person can adopt an animal from SCHS.
