All of us at I-92 WLWI love our pets, and know so many loving dogs and cats at the Humane Society of Elmore County would love to have their forever home with a loving family. That’s why we’re stepping up to create awareness with the Pet of the Week campaign.
Here’s our latest Pet of the Week! The shelter shares, “Zeus is a 1 1/2 year old male Husky, about 70 lbs, surrendered to us for being an escape artist (he needs a 6’ fence & really prefers being outside) and chasing livestock. He loves to go for rides, is good with children and FEMALE dogs but NOT good with cats, chickens or livestock. Zeus reminds us of a naughty little boy who likes to instigate trouble so you will need to be able to stay ‘ahead’ of his antics and other dogs will have to be of a temperament to tolerate his antics – which leads us to Hera. Hera is a two-year old female Husky, smaller at 42 lbs. She is SUPER sweet and loving, but be forewarned she does have that LOUD Husky voice and she likes to use it! Her preference is to be outside as well meaning she also needs a well-fenced yard.”
The shelter also shares, “while we know this is a BIG ask, it would really be something if we could find a home for Zeus and Hera together. They did not come in together but while with us have become like a long-married couple & get along wonderfully. When Zeus just keeps up his antics, Hera talks back to him (the proverbial ‘enough already’ and quite funny) but they actually get along famously, so wouldn’t it be fantastic to get them a home together!”
The adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $50 for cats under one-year-old; cats over one-year-old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination if old enough, free health exam with your participating veterinarian.
If you are interested in meeting the Pet of the Week or any of the shelter’s pets, the first step is the Adoption Application you can do here: https://elmorehumane.org/adoption-application-online-form2.html . Once approved, they will coordinate with you to set up an appointment to meet & adopt.
