Biography:

Hi, I'm Yoda. Today (7/6) marks my one-year anniversary of being at GHHS. I just don't get it. I may be a large, active boy, but I am also a LOVER. I enjoy meeting new people, hanging out at community events, riding in the car, playing with the staff and volunteers in the shelter fields, and so much more. Yes, I do tend to get a little overexcited when someone comes to leash me up, but I promise I am getting better - just tell me to "chillax", at least that is what Auntie Ro does, and it works! I know "sit" and am working on "wait". Weighing in at 80-pounds, I am one of those dogs that doesn't realize how big I am, but that is just more to love, right? And man, I will love BIG right back! I like leaning into my human friends and resting with my head on laps. I do well with dogs that share my energy, but I am not too sure about cats or smaller creatures - I just don't understand their vibes. But like everything else, that may just take time for me to learn. Please take a chance on me, all I need is a little training and to have a home I can be comfortable in, and I promise I will be the dog of your dreams!

Our mission is to complete families through a thoughtful and thorough adoption process.

To ensure every animal is placed in a forever home, GHHS begins this process with a detailed adoption application. Each interested, potential adopter will fill out the application attached to the animal of interest. To be considered for adoption:

  • Adopters must be at least 19 years old.
  • If you rent, you must have permission from your landlord and pet fees must be paid in advance.
  • If adopting into a family, we require all members of the family to be in agreement about adopting. For families that already include another dog, we typically require a meet and greet; this may be hosted on the GHHS property, or at the potential adopter’s home.
  • Some animals may require a home inspection.
  • Verification of current pet(s) vaccine/vet records.

Meeting these guidelines is not a guarantee that your application will be accepted.
GHHS reserves the right to adopt only to qualified homes based upon our shelter guidelines. Each adoption is considered on a first-come, first-qualified basis once the animal is available for adoption. Exceptions may be made for potential adopters.

The adoption fee covers: spay/neuter surgery (legally required), current vaccines and boosters, a microchip with a lifetime registration, along with flea & tick preventative and heartworm preventative until time of adoption. In addition, each animal will be sent home with a small bag of food to help transition them to their new diet.

Safety note: All dogs must leave wearing a leash and collar, cats must leave in a carrier. You may bring these items with you or purchase them at GHHS. Dog leashes/collars are available for purchase, $2 and up. Cat carriers (cardboard) are available for $5.
