Description

---

This is Sarahfina, a 1-2 year old black labrador that looks very close to pure bred.  She was picked up as a stray and not reclaimed.  She had an eye injury or infection that was not treated - we removed her eye because it was not see through it and it was causing her discomfort.  It has not affected her in any way.  She is a wonderful dog with an excellent disposition.  She loves everyone and would be an excellent therapy dog-she loves kids and is good with other pets.  She is up to date with shots, spayed, negative for heartworms/on prevention and crate trained.  She also knows some basic commands.  If you would like to make her your newest family member, please visit our website at www.myhstc.org and complete an adoption application.

Her adoption fee is $85 and includes all veterinary care

If you have never adopted from us before, we prescreen all applicants prior to a meeting.  To be screened, please visit www.myhstc.org and complete an adoption application.

We allow out of state adoptions.  However, we do not ship nor transport sight unseen pets for many reasons.  We require travel in person adoption.

Adoption process

The adoption fee for dogs is $85 and cats $75 (we will discount if more than one pet is adopted at the same time or the adoptee is taking on some type of medical care). We do allow out-of-state adoptions, however, transportation is the responsibility of the adopter.

We require a completed adoption application with a vet reference provided. We screen all applications prior to a meet and greet and we will call your vet to verify your information. Adoption applications are approved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration matching the needs of the pet to an owner. Some long distance adoptions may also require a home visit from a local animal rescuer in the adopter’s area.

HSTC is an all volunteer organization - we have no paid staff and we DO NOT have a shelter. The majority of our pets are in individual foster homes with fosters who work full time jobs - some of our dogs are in boarding at one of our vet's offices. We make every effort to respond to questions and make contact on applications within 24-48 hours of receiving them. Please be patient with us.

Shelter location

HSTC partners with the local PetSmart store in Albany Georgia in adopting our cats into permanent homes. We rotate our cats every two weeks to keep them from getting too bored or stressed while in the adoption center. Our foster homes are happy to work with anyone that would like information on any of our cats that are not currently in rotation and housed at the PetSmart adoption center. Please do not hesitate to email us for information on how to meet your new best friend!

HSTC holds small adoption events at PetSmart in Albany, GA on the first and third weekends of each month where you can meet some of our dogs available for adoption. PetSmart Charities holds national adoption events during the months of February, May, September and November and HSTC participates in each of these national events. HSTC does not hold our normal first and third weekend events during the months of the national adoption events. We are happy to schedule a meet and greet with potential adopters who would like to meet particular dogs once an application is approved.
