My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey, I`m Ruffle, a gentle soul seeking a patient paw-rent! Sadly, my previous human couldn`t keep me on October 30th, 2024 but I`m ready to find my forever home. Spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated – all checked off! I`m a bit shy around new faces, but once I warm up, I`m a purr machine. I`ve even lived with dogs and cats before, so I`m open to furry siblings! I just need someone who understands that I need a bit of time to trust. If you`re willing to go slow and shower me with love, I promise to be your loyal companion for life. Let`s meet at the shelter, shall we?

More about this shelter

What is it and why do we do it?

We "go the extra mile" to help assure that, when you adopt a pet from HSVB&IRC, you'll be making an informed choice. By matching an animal's personality to yours and your lifestyle, we're more likely to assure that you make the right adoption decision the first time.

We are using a program developed by the ASPCA. It is called "Meet Your Match." Currently, we evaluate dogs and cats before we make them available for adoption.

Also, we ask each prospective adopter to complete an Adopters' Survey which helps identify factors in their lifestyle which might guide their choice of animals. Then, we compare the findings to make a match.

Proudly, we have a very high adoption retention rate — a fact we credit to taking this extra step in the adoption process.
We want you to make a "SAFER" choice, too.
In addition to Meet Your Match, HSVB&IRC has implemented the ASPCA’s Meet Your Match SAFER™ (Safety Assessment For Evaluating & Rehoming) program - a tool for assessing the probability of future canine aggression. Ask us for more details.
