Adopt a American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

Check me out!  I'm Dexter!

Right before Christmas, animal control brought me in as a stray.  I was just out wandering around.  Oh well, now I'm here in the shelter.  

They say I'm around 3 years old and 42 pounds.  They, also, found out that I am heartworm positive.  That can be a death sentence around here.  

The nice shelter lady took me out for a little R&R and she told me that I was AWESOME!  Calm, friendly and easy to work with.  She, also, took these fabulous pics.  She says they will help people see how handsome I am.  

I hope someone takes me to heart and comes to meet me in person.  I will steal your heart!

The stray hold, at the Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter, is 5 days.  That allows owners a fair amount of time to come looking for their pets.  On the sixth day, the animal becomes property of the Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter and is offered for adoption.  An animal may be pre-adopted, however, if the owner comes forward, within the 5 day stray hold, the animal goes back to the owner.  The adoption fee is refunded at that time.

Adoption process:

? Fill out an application

? Fill out a contract

? Pay the adoption fee

Unfortunately, we are not able to hold animals without the adoption process being completed.

That includes the payment of the adoption fee. Adoptions are done on a first come, first

served basis. Online applications are accepted and payment can be made via phone on

Mondays, otherwise we do not hold animals.  When the process is complete, the pet will be scheduled to be altered.  After that is done, the pet may be picked up.
