County: Rowan Adoption Fee: 50$ Approximate Age: 10 months Approximate Weight: n/a Breed: Pitt Bull mix Color/Pattern: brindle and white Litter-mates: n/a Possible Health Issues: n/a NOTE: as of 5/1/18 our listings are undergoing some maintenance, some info about the shelter is outdated- animals are not immediately euthanized after 5 days, but this is a high intake shelter so animals need placed as soon as possible after they become available. Stray hold is 5 days for all dogs regardless of county, there is no stray hold for cats. TCAS strives to remain a low-kill shelter and needs the continued help of adopters and rescues to do so. Transport is currently very limited and only available to 501c3 rescues, contact 606-784-4930 to be put in contact with local rescues that may be able to assist. Adopters/Rescues: Rescues interested in pulling dogs should contact the shelter at 606-784-4930. The shelter cannot return long distance calls- shelter staff are often busy, please be patient and call back if no one is able to answer. Shelter email is tri_county_animal_shelter@hotmail.com . Shelter email is not continuously monitored, best way to contact us is via phone or stopping by the shelter. This dog is at Tri County Animal Shelter. Please call 606-784-4930 or go there directly to adopt. Scared/feral animals may be euthanized at any time and need out immediately. Volunteers do their best to keep listings updated, but not all dogs may be posted due to time constraints. Dog adoption fee is 50$ for dogs from Rowan County, 80$ for dogs from Fleming and Carter Counties, which includes spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, and first DHPP Vaccination. Dog personality is assessed by shelter staff and volunteers and is best guess. It is very possible the personality will change once out of the shelter. It is highly recommended that you and your family members stop by and meet a dog prior to adopting. Most dogs have no background information so we cannot predict how a dog will react to different situations or people. We can give NO GUARANTEE of personality. After adoption it is recommended that you get your dog checked by your veterinarian and discuss heartworm testing, vaccinations, microchipping, fecals (to check for parasites) and flea/tick prevention. It is not recommended to let your new dog interact with your current dog until it has been checked and deemed healthy by a veterinarian.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
