Highway Man has special needs - he is heartworm positive. Dogs with heartworm disease can live happy, high-quality lives with proper care. Heartworm positive dogs have just as much love and companionship to offer as any other dog and deserve a chance at a forever home! By adopting Highway Man, you are truly saving a life. Ask staff about the Stormie Rain Heartworm Fund and what assistance may be available to help with his heartworm treatment. ADOPTION PROCESS: Our adoption process is simple and straightforward. Start by completing our pre-screening application: https://tinyurl.com/adoptfromHSCC Applications are typically approved or declined the same day. Once approved and all parties agree, adoption fees are paid and the contract is signed. If the pet is not yet spayed/neutered or current on a rabies vaccine, they will not go home the same day. An appointment will be scheduled, and you'll receive further instructions at that time. We hope this helps answer your questions!
