In the shelter’s words
MEET HAIR GEL! Hang on, folks, because this little scruff is going to wow you. He’s small, he’s cute, he’s polite, he’s outgoing and funny, he’s good with dogs and cats alike, and he’s says there’s no place like home - he just needs one. Hair Gel is thought to be about a year and a half old, having been found as a disheveled stray. He got a bath, a bangs trim, and has bounced back nicely in his foster home. He’s quickly learned the ropes thanks to big foster brother Teddy (also a Tara’s House alum) and hasn’t had an accident in the house since the first week. Thanks to foster Mom and Dad he has learned Sit, Come and High Five! He did exceptionally well at an adoption event where he met people of all ages; rolling over and asking for belly rubs as his signature move. If there are kids in his future home they must be over the age of 10, due to his small size. He is active but once you get on the couch he is ready to cuddle. He sees you at the sofa and he wants to snuggle with you and the blankets. He is very chill. He sleeps in a crate with little to no protest, but would love to be invited up into bed if that’s your jam. Hair Gel doesn’t have any vices (no food aggression, separation anxiety, or resource guarding) and he walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a little buddy to share your home with and love snuggles, sweet kisses and funny antics, look no further. He’s your guy. Hair Gel’s adoption donation fee is $500, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for him by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.

Description of Our Adoption Process 1) Submit Online Adoption Application •Complete your adoption application online at www.tarashouse.net/adoptionapplication.html by filling in all required information, including your veterinarian information, landlord, etc. When all questions are answered, click submit to send to our Adoption Committee. 2) Initial Telephone Interview •Within 3 - 5 days after online submittal of your application a Tara's House representative will conduct your initial interview by telephone if our Adoption Committee decides to pursue your application. If your adoption application was submitted in person during a monthly adoption show, we will review your application and conduct the initial interview in person on the spot. 3) Reference Check •A Tara's House representative will call all references, especially your vet and landlord (if applicable), if we wish to proceed with your application after the initial review. 4) The Home Visit •If Tara's House finds all references give positive feedback and every other requirement has been met to this phase of our process, one of our Adoption Committee members will contact you to arrange a brief home visit. We will ask you to demonstrate a day in the life of your potential adopted dog and evaluate the environment and conditions for the dog. 5) Adoption Approval •After the home visit, our Adoption Committee convenes - usually virtually - to discuss your application and lessons learned as we worked through each phase of our process. From this collaborative review, our Adoption Committee will make the final decision on your application and inform you of their decision in short order. •If you are approved to adopt a Tara's House dog, you must sign and submit to Tara's House our legally binding adoption contract along with our adoption fee in the amount of $270-$375, depending on the dog (payable by check made to Tara's House), as well as pick your new dog from the applicable foster home within three days
