Attention Akita savvy folks! This fella might be a good fit for you! Oreo is a 1 year old neutered male recently surrendered to our shelter! Oreo enjoys being outside and exploring off leash in our spacious fenced in play yard! Oreo is seeking a family with experience and knowledge of the Akita breed who are able to provide consistent exercise, training and socialization. Oreo is a very sweet boy, but can be a little scared and hesitant of new people.

Licensing
If you are adopting a dog or puppy over three months of age, Pennsylvania law requires that you purchase a dog license at the time of adoption. Fees vary from $5.00 to $9.00 depending on the adopter and the dog’s sterilization status. We can provide Lebanon County residents with a 2019 dog license when adopting. Residents of other counties must obtain a license from their County Treasurer or a satellite office.
Adoption Packages
Cat and Dog adoption packages include the following: first vaccinations, de-worming, flea treatment, HomeAgain microchip and starter bag of Hill’s Science Diet food.
Cat adoption also includes FeLV/FIV test.
Dog adoption includes collar and leash.
Unfortunately at the present time we are not able to provide spay/neuter services for all our adopted animals. Every attempt is being made at securing sterilization services for all our adopted animals.
In the interim at the time of adoption a $30 spay/neuter deposit will be charged and a spay/neuter agreement will be signed. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling a spay/neuter appointment with a veterinarian. Once the adopter provides our shelter with proof of spay/neuter of the adopted animal, the $30 spay/neuter deposit will be refunded by check in the mail.
SAFER Assessment
The Humane Society of Lebanon County follows the ASPCA’s SAFER (Safety Assessment For Evaluating Rehoming) assessment to evaluate new dogs who are brought into the shelter. SAFER is a seven point temperament assessment which helps the Humane Society staff to better learn about our shelter dogs’ behaviors and best place them in homes where they are least likely to be returned.
