Pet of the Week – Archie

Archie is a five-year old male, about 30 lbs, looks like a possible Heeler/JRT mix. He was found as stray and brought to us but no one came looking. He is a very lowkey boy actually, good with other dogs & cats, bit more independent - happy to just do his own thing. Likes to explore.

Our adoption fees are $100 for dogs & $50 for cats under oneyear-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 Archie or any of our pets, our first step is our Adoption Application you can do here: https:// elmorehumane.org/adoption-application-online-form2.html . Once approved, we will coordinate with you to set up an appointment to meet & adopt.
