GBF Adoptable Dog & Cat Of The Week: Dakota and Blackie

We've teamed up with our rescue friends in Posey County, Indiana. Each week we share an adoptable dog from PC Pound Puppies and an adoptable feline friend from Posey Humane Society as well as details on how you can make them a forever part of your home. Let me introduce you to your next best friend.

Meet Dakota

Dakota is a very special boy. He is deaf and found himself at the shelter after his owner passed away. Dakota is about 5 years old and weighs just 30 pounds. According to PC Pound Puppies,

Dakota came to us as a puppy. We soon learned he is deaf, but he has never known any different. He got a good home, which was great until the owner died a few months before his first birthday. We got him back at 1 yr. of age, and he had some trust issues with strangers because he'd never been around anyone other than his owner. It took several weeks for a volunteer to gain his trust, but now he is her best buddy. He is still wary of some strangers, mostly men, and does not care for most other dogs, at least not at the shelter. We feel like he would do well with a single woman. We think he needs a well controlled environment; he startles easily and bonds well with women. He really needs someone knowledgeable about deaf dogs.

With there being so many other dogs in the shelter, Dakota does not always get all of the attention that he deserves. If you think you would make a good companion for Dakota, please contact PC Pound Puppies.

The PC Pound Puppies adoption fee is $150 which goes to cover a portion of the vetting costs. If you're interested in adding this pup to your family, you can fill out an adoption application here. The adoption process does require a completed application as well as an interview. The rescue will not schedule a meet and greet without having first received a completed application. 

You can get in touch with PC Pound Puppies by email at pcpoundpuppies1@gmail.com or by phone at 812-483-4341. They do respond to inquiries and adoption applications at the earliest opportunity, but please remember to be be patient as they are volunteers who all work full-time jobs. They always do their best to return messages and schedule adoption interviews within a couple of days of receiving your application. Again, you can submit an application here.

Meet Blackie

This sweet little gal is Blackie. She has the cutest little pink nose that stands out in stark contrast to her beautiful, medium length black coat.She is waiting on someone like you to scoop her up and take her home. She would love a soft bed and a warm lap to cuddle in and something tells me she would be your new best friend.

Blackie is up to date on her vaccines, microchipped and spayed. Her adoption fee is a small investment to bring so much love into your life.

Posey Humane Society has plenty of other kitties as well as lots of dogs, both young and old.  If you're interested in meeting this week's adoptable cat or any of the other wonderful and deserving animals in the care of Posey Humane Society, you can visit them on Facebook or by visiting their official website, PoseyHumane.org. They are also in need of foster homes where the animals can wait for their forever families without having to stay inside the shelter.
