Yates is a 1 and a half year old Terrier, American pitbull mix. He has more energy than he knows what to do with and a heart that is unmatched. Yates is a very vocal dog, and likes to talk. He loves to get attention and head scratches. He is a little bit of a rough playmate and is sometimes a little too much. With being a little too much, also comes too much love to give, and some extra training. Yates is a part of our Enrichment Academy. He is given a little extra training and enrichment to try and best get him ready for his forever home. If you have any dogs in the home you can bring your current furry friends in to meet him. We even offer a 3 day slumber party, to make sure he’s a good fit for your family!

HSSM is home to over 300 pets on any given day, most of which are looking for new forever homes! Your new best friend could be waiting at HSSM right now. Our beautiful, 41,000 square foot facility is currently open to the public. HSSM is open for adoptions Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. No appointment is necessary to adopt, however, adoptions are first-come, first served. You must come to HSSM to complete your adoption and make sure you bring a photo ID, as it is required to complete adoption paperwork.
Our adoptable animals page is self-updating and displays ALL of HSSM’s adorable adoptable pets from “pocket pets” to birds and of course the hundreds of dogs and cats currently calling HSSM home! See one you like? Make sure you note your favorite’s name and animal ID number so that HSSM staff and volunteers can easily find him/her when you come in!
Adoptions are cut off every day about 30 minutes prior to closing and possibly earlier if volume is high. Weekends are busy and you may have to wait more than an hour (especially in the afternoons) so please be prepared.
