Size: medium
Age: adult
Sex: male

Notes: Freddie is a very sweet, neutered male Beagle mix puppy, approx. 6 months old. He's crate trained and mostly housebroken and likes other dogs, although he seems to thinks cats are there to chase. Freddie would have been euthanized if we hadn't saved him. He's one, nice fellow, yet he keeps on getting overlooked at our clinics, and we don't understand why. He's good looking, well behaved, and has so many nice qualities. It's time that Freddie found a forever home. Freddie is waiting.

 

Hope
Doberman mix (?) Hound mix (?)

Size: medium
Sex: female
Age: adult

Notes: Hope is a spayed female mixed breed (we're not quite sure of her lineage) who is smooth coated and weights around 35 lbs. She currently looks like she came from a concentration camp she's so thin. Poor girl. We call her Hope because with us she now has hope. She is very, very sweet and has pleading, sad brown eyes. Hope is going to make a wonderful friend for the person who is lucky enough to adopt her.


 

Buddy
Schnauzer Mix

Size: Small
Sex: Male
Age: Adult

Notes: Buddy is an eight-year-old, neutered male Schnauzer mix who weights about nine pounds. This happy-go-lucky boy came to us looking like he just walked out of a concentration camp he was so thin. With ear infections in both ears and infections in his eyes, he needed a quick trip to a veterinarian. He's on the mend now, and we hope he starts gaining weight soon. His former family seemed to love Buddy. They sent along a letter explaining how much Buddy likes to "sleep in" on weekend mornings and how much he also loves his dog bed (when not in bed with his family). They gave him a funny, "punk" haircut for the summer and put on a red bandana before they took him to the shelter. Thankfully, he's safe with us. Now, all he needs is someone who will fall in love with him forever.

 

Jackson
Miniature Schnauzer

Size: small
Sex: male
Age: adult

Notes: Jackson is an eight-year-old, neutered male Miniature Schnauzer who came to us recently when his mistress died. What a nice boy he is--full of love. Since he was not raised in a home with young children, he would be best placed in a home with older children or in an adult-only home.

Her disposition is that of an angel. Foxy is well behaved and low-key. One of her favorite things to do is relax in her dog bed. Maybe it's because she never had a bed of her own before.

Generally, they're easy to train and please, great with children, gentle and adaptable.

Capital District Humane takes in dogs/cats/other animals on a weekly basis and places them for adoption in suitable homes.  Our website may not necessarily reflect all the animals available.  CDHA also keeps a list of privately owned dogs/cats needing placement.

Please call for updated lists.  If you are looking for a special type of animal that we don't currently have we'd be glad to assist you in your search...

CDHA tries to match each animal with the right person or family. We are not looking to "get rid of" animals. Decisions regarding appropriate placement of pets are made on various criteria. One of the things we will ask for is a veterinary reference or the last year or two of all your animals' medical records. If more than one person is interested in a particular pet, CDHA will make a determination regarding an adoption based on which home we think would be best for that animal.

We take adoptions very seriously. If you are considering one of our pets we will want to spend time talking with you and ask that you be patient. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We're seeking quality homes for dogs with individual needs.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT AN ADOPTION CLINIC?

• You will be able to meet the animals for adoption and spend time with them.
   

• Volunteers will provide you with a pet adoption list that describes each dog.
   

• Volunteers will talk with you about what type of dog you are looking to adopt and will try to match you with an appropriate animal. We may have you fill out an "Animal Request Form" if we don't currently have the type of animal you're seeking.
   

• If there is a dog you're interested in adopting we will conduct an in-depth interview and will have you complete an application.
   

• We will want to meet all the immediate members of your household: wife, husband, children.
   

• We will review your veterinary reference or animals' medical records or will call your veterinarian to see if they will recommend you as a pet owner.
   

• We will request doing a home visit.
   

• You may not necessarily be able to take home a dog directly from the adoption clinic, depending on whether or not we can do a home visit or check your veterinary reference. If we have multiple applicants interested in a dog, we will review all the applications and will make a determination based on what we feel would be the most appropriate placement for that animal.
