GREAT NEWS!

Great news everyone! Huge thanks to Vanessa Veflin as she volunteers at the FM Humane Society and forwarded the blog to Heather, the manager...Heather just called me and said they have some open spaces and would definitely take Louie!! I'M SO EXCITED! She had called Terry at the pound and Louie is the only dog there that he hasn't had a call on so we both concluded that Louie was probably dumped off - and on a side note, I hope the jerk that dumped him finds out about this blog and reads this and and NEVER gets another animal! But I'm glad that Louie is probably going to end up with a happy ending anyway:)

Heather said he will stay there until Friday in case someone claims him or wants to take him - so he's still up for grabs if any of you can give him a good home. If he is still there by Friday, the pound will give him his shots and immunizations and the Humane Society will pick him up around 5 and take him to their shelter. She figures he will get adopted pretty fast and for those of you interested in adopting him (if someone doesn't pick him up from the pound 1st)...

Adoption info:
Adoption fees include necessary vaccinations and spaying/neutering of every animal that is adopted from our facility. If the animal is too young for sterilizing, the adopter is responsible to see that this is done. Once confirmation is received by FMHS that the adopted animal has been altered, $75.00 of the adoption fee is refunded to the adopter.
Cats ----- $136.00
Dogs ---- $146.00
After you have spent some time with the animal you are interested in, you can begin the application process. The first step is to fill out the Adoption Application. We have a 24 hour waiting period prior to you taking the animal home to allow us to look over your application and make any necessary contacts. Please know that we do contact landlords to make sure that any deposits are paid and that permission to have a pet has been granted.
The waiting period will also allow you to thoroughly think over this commitment and will provide you time to get any supplies needed, talk to your vet, and get everything ready for your new pet. If your application is approved, you will be called to come in and finish the rest of the paperwork.
The adoption fee is $146.00 for dogs and $136.00 for cats, this includes a basic exam, your new pet’s first set of vaccinations (distemper, parvo, bordatella, and rabies if the animal is 4 months of age or older), a first deworming, a flea/tick exam and treatment, and a microchip. All cats are also tested for FIV/FeLV, and the majority of our animals are already spayed or neutered (and if not, $75 will be refunded to the adopter upon proof that this has been done).

...Ok, so it looks like we have a happy ending to this story as I know Louie will now find a good home and we don't have to worry about him!!!!

Thanks everyone:)

Also, on a side note - the Humane Society is such a great organization, please consider donating $ or time to your local Humane Society...it's always great to be part of something so worthwhile!
