Because our fosters work hard to rescue
dogs who sometimes have had rough starts or sad circumstances and start
to socialize them to be loving, trusting, indoor companions, we believe
it is in their best interest to live in homes where they will truly be
part of a family as indoor pets. True members of the family live indoors
and spend quality time enjoying each other. Dogs are social creatures
and thrive on companionship as much as humans do.
The Fayette Humane Society encourages you
to adopt an animal in need, understanding that our dogs will be adopted
only to indoor homes where they will be a part of the family. We believe that putting a dog outside,
unsupervised, for extended lengths of time is NOT in the best interest
of the dog.
Fencing Requirements:
Some dogs require a fenced in yard. If we state
that a dog must have a physical fence and you don't have one, please
don't be insulted! We are not implying that you would not provide a
good home for the dog, rather that, in our opinion, your home would not
be the
right home for that particular dog. There may be many
reasons why our dogs need physical containment. Hound mixes and terrier
mixes are not always reliable off-leash and will follow their noses as
far as they can. Invisible fencing doesn't always work for these dogs
either, since they will take the shock to be able to chase a rabbit,
squirrel or the occasional cat. Some dogs have a hard time learning to
go potty while on a leash. For these dogs, the lack of a fenced yard may
cause them to lose their housetraining. Some dogs have sensitive
temperaments. For those dogs, electric training collars and invisible
fencing collars that use shock correction are poor training methods, as
they can cause the dog to become fear-aggressive. With a foster-based
program and years of rescue experience, we are able to judge each dog on
his/her own merits. We wish to place the dogs in homes that will
provide the best possible fit, both for their personalities and for the
characteristics you are seeking in your new family member. Please help
us set them up for success by honoring our fencing requirements for some
of our dogs.
Below is a list of the puppies/dogs available for adoption. If you are

Benji |
DOB:
12/1/03 |
 |
Benji is an eight year old PBGV mix.
(Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen: Don't try to pronounce the name; just call this shaggy scenthound the PBGV. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen has long been a popular hound in France, its country of origin. It is the smallest of four breeds of rough-coated French hounds.) His elderly owner loved him a lot but also fed him a lot and we don't think he got out much. He was very overweight when he came to us but he has trimmed down to a reasonable weight through exercise and a sensible diet. He is very playful and loves to run in the yard with other dogs. Benji is also a sad boy because he came to us when his human died several months ago. His new humans would need to keep him active with daily walks, watch his food intake and not be suckered (by his big puppy dog eyes) into giving him too many treats. Benji is a really sweet boy and would make a great companion to an active older person. He seems to be a very happy go lucky dog who just needs someone to love. Complete a pre-adopt
