Black Dog Syndrome
This is Lulu. From the moment she was born there were some things that were already certain in her life. She was more likely to be turned in to a shelter or pound, and she was less likely to be adopted. She was more likely to have a lengthy stay in the shelter than certain other pups. She was even more likely to be euthanized...especially in the Midwest. Why? Because she is a black dog of mixed breed, a black Lab mix to be more specific. It is called Black Dog Syndrome.

If you are considering adoption, please do not glide past the eager to please, fun loving, and just as deserving black faces. Don't let Black Dog Syndrome take hold in your community. To help, Green Hills Animal Shelter is temporarily decreasing the adoption fee for black dogs to only $79. This includes shots, worming, spay/neutering (some already done, others with a voucher), and more. Here are just a few of the wonderful black dog mixes you can find at GHAS.If
Tom - Sweet natured senior Crabbe - Loves to be around children
Midnight - The athlete/lover Joni - Friendly and Fun Deniro - One-eyed wonder (blind in one eye)

GHAS Calendar Photo Contest - EXCITING NEWS 
We recently recieved several cats & puppies. As a result we are BEYOND capacity in our cattery. The adoption fee for a cat is $69. (Adoption fee includes shots, worming, and a spay/neuter voucher if the animal is not already spayed/neutered. Some cats have been Feline Leukemia tested and some dogs have been heartworm tested.)
These cats & dogs have been at GHAS the longest & need homes ASAP.
CATS- Bill, Bob, Chip, Gweneth, Loren,
Some are healthy but have been at the shelter for a very long time, some have special needs. Click on their name to learn more, and please consider giving one a home.
♥Sweet Pea's Story♥
...I named her Sweet Pea on the spot, because the first thing I said to her was, "Hey, Sweet Pea, whattya doin' out here?" in my sweetest, friendliest sing-song voice. She pulled her head out of the garbage bag to look at me, tucked her tail so far under it lay flat against her belly, and then she answered by wagging the tip thump-thump-thump really fast. Everything about her was saying "Hi" and "Help" and "Please" and "I'm so hungry" and "I'm so cold" and "I'm so alone"... Sweet Pea won't be up for adoption for awhile now, lots of healing to do, but if you would like to read Sweet Pea's full story and follow updates with pictures and video follow this link - http://meghanmg.blog.com/sweet-peas-journey/

Above and Beyond Adoptions
Never Say Never - Jamie's Story
"Who's going to adopt a dog like that?...No one's going to adopt a dog like that...That dog will never get adopted."I know we all said it, or at least thought it, even if for just a moment. But it was true, sort of. Jamie had so much going against her, it was sometimes hard to believe there was a home out there for her. But we trudged on, hoping against hope that it was true, all dogs have a home - somewhere, when the right time comes...http://meghanmg.blog.com/never-say-never-jamies-story/
Could you go above and beyond for an animal with special needs or consideration? Meet some animals that are waiting for that one of a kind person to take them home.
Pepper, a Husky/Cattle Dog Mix, came to us just over a year ago as a stray roaming the streets of Trenton. No one came to claim him, so he was put up for adoption. Although Pepper is a friendly dog, he did have some bad habits and behaviors that turned people off from adopting him and limited what type of home he could go into...http://meghanmg.blog.com/pepper/

Josie is a 2 yr old female American English Coonhound mix. Beautiful, athletic, playful, and highly intelligent, Josie longs to be in the copany of and work along side of people. She came to our shelter as a little puppy and was adopted by one of our volunteers. Unfortunately, her resident dog didn’t get along with Josie, and after trying everything she could think of over 6 months, she had to bring Josie back...- http://meghanmg.blog.com/josie/

Foxy is very quiet, very sweet, and very old. She is a Corgi mix, but is much smaller than the breed. Her activity is slowly trotting to her spot to potty, then sitting in someone's lap to get brushed. Her teeth aren't in the best shape but are better since we have had her on antibiotics. Her hips were really stiff and uncomfortable when she first got here, but that too has improved with medication. - http://www.greenhillsanimalshelter.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=4008966
It takes a rare, special person to take on a geriatric dog that may need medication daily, but the rewards can't be beat. Questions about adopting a senior/geriatric dog? - http://www.srdogs.com/Pages/adopt.html
