We are a volunteer-based pet shop that carries shelter animals available for in-store adoption. Janss Marketplace donates the space to us, we have amazing volunteers, and we pull animals from high-kill shelters, and showcase them in a busy mall environment, where they gain great exposure and find loving new homes.
We have found over 15,000 homes for shelter animals since our opening in November 2011.
SHPS is part of the Shelter Hope Project, which strives to make this the business model for all mall pet shops. We hope to abolish all puppy-mill pet shops, help find homes for the countless pets in our shelters that face being euthanized, and educate the public on how we can ALL help reduce future shelter population.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Additional adoption info
***Appointments preferred***
The majority of our dogs are in foster care. Most of the time they are only brought in the shop if an application to meet the dog is approved and an appointment is made.
More about our process:
If you're interested in adopting, please fill out a rescue questionnaire. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. Please be thorough in your answers.
If application is approved, we will call you to discuss matching you to your new pet. It may take up to several days before you hear from us.
Then we will set up an appointment. If you decide to adopt, there is an adoption fee and contract.
Please note: If we get an influx of applications for the specific dog you are interested in, you may not get a call from us. We encourage applicants to list several dogs they are interested in.
