Animal Info

Dee Dee is a wonderful hound girlie. In typical hound fashion, she is great with people and her nose leads the way.

This precious girl is a sweet soul. She LOVES her people! For the family who is fortunate enough to welcome her, she will shower you with affection and follow you around checking out what you are doing.

She enjoys playtime, especially with her humans. She will happily play with other friendly dogs or even independently chew on a bone or toy.

Dee Dee is very curious and needs to sniff new environments and explore. Once she gets the exploring finished, she is satisfied. A new unchained world has been opened for her and she wants to check everything out.

She is also very trusting of her humans. She fully expects to be treated with love and patience, along with guidance and boundaries. Once these things are established, she will thrive!

Dee Dee has so many amazing qualities. She likes to give hugs, and she is a very snuggly girl. She likes to lay on her people, or at least lay beside them. The closer to you, the better. She has the gift of making a person feel special.

On walks she can get distracted by smells of other animals, and will try to follow the smell. Simply redirecting her path helps get her out of that mode. Due to her former hound life, she should not be with cats or other small animals.

She loves food or anything that potentially smells like food. Counters are particularly intriguing for her. Guiding her on her boundaries in the home will be beneficial.

Dee Dee does not like sharing her food, so once she is fed, she prefers eating in peace without the fear of her food being taken. This will likely decrease with time as she gets used to being fed regularly. There has already been improvement in this area. She would benefit from a puzzle feeder.

Dee Dee gets along with people of any age, but a home with older children and adults would be best due to her love of food. She gets really excited over food and other animal smells.

She is crate trained, just be sure to toss in a few treats when she goes in. She has not had any potty accidents in the home.

Dee Dee is a fantastic girl, with tons of love and affection to give. In turn, she needs someone to help guide her in exploring this new world that has now opened for her. She is an absolute treasure, you won’t be disappointed.

We take credit cards (preferred), debit cards, and cash to process payments. We are unable to accept checks.

We cannot hold animals. Adoptions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We recommend checking our website often when you’re ready to adopt. Our adoption page is updated in real-time as animals are added and adopted.

It’s important to note that an approved application does not guarantee adoption. It simply means that you have been approved to adopt from the RHSPCA. We recommend checking your email for our approval message (or follow up questions) and then scheduling a pet adoption appointment to meet the animal you’re interested in, should they still be available.

Approved applications are non-binding, you can change your mind at any time. We’ll also keep your approved application on file for 30 days.

  • Please bring a valid ID so we can process your adoption, in case you find a pet you love. Dogs leaving the building must be on a leash (available to purchase at the shelter). Cats leaving the building must be in a carrier (also available to purchase at the shelter).
  • We ask that you please leave your current pets at home. We want to first make sure that it’s a good match between humans and shelter animals. After your initial appointment, we can schedule a time for an introduction with your resident pets at the shelter, if needed.

Yes! We do adopt to out-of-area homes. A meet and greet with the pet is required. Please keep in mind that the shelter has a first come, first serve adoption policy when making your travel plans.

Adopters may only adopt 2 pets within a 30-day period.
