12/4/2016: Does this girl have a great smile or what?!! Orchid is a darling little American Staffordshire mix and she’s just as friendly and happy as she looks! She loves loves people and she's very affectionate. She's also an active girl. We’ve been working with her on the agility course and she loves it and is doing really well. Be sure to watch her video! Orchid loves to go on pack walks with the other dogs, and she gets along with most other dogs. If you have a dog we’d ask you to make and appointment to bring your dog in to meet Orchid to make sure they like each other. Orchid has taken obedience classes at The Dogs' Spot and done very well and enjoys learning. She has also attended our satellite adoption events and loves meeting new people. She rides well in a car.

Orchid is two years old and she weighs about 48 lbs. She’s not very big at all, she's very compact and a stocky gal. She also has a beautiful shiny coat. Orchid has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for heartworms. She was a stray. She’s a real sweetie and a lot of fun!

MORE ON ADOPTING OUR DOGS...

Please visit our web site at HSGKC.ORG for more information about our adoption process, our adoption fees and all that's included, and for a pet adoption application.

> Our goal is to send you home with a healthy pet and any information and support you may need to help your new pet adjust to his or her new home. All of our dogs & puppies have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas & ticks, tested for heartworms (7 mo. and over), and are on monthly heartworm preventative. Puppies who are too young to receive all the necessary puppy boosters and/or first rabies shot may be brought back to us for those vaccines at no extra charge. You will also receive a leash, collar, coupons for pet supplies and services, toys, and educational materials. And we'll give your dog a bath before he or she goes home!

> Please note that we prefer and may require a fenced yard for many of our dogs. Exceptions are made on an individual basis depending on the dog's needs, the person's dog experience, the dog's and person's activity levels, home environment and other factors.

> An application is required to adopt a pet and applicants must meet our adoption requirements. If you decide you'd like to adopt one of our dogs, we reserve the pet for you but we generally don't send the dog home with you that same day.

Thank you for searching for a shelter pet!
