My personality

My story

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

Blue is quite a character! When he looks at you with his brilliant blue eyes and his impish expression he seems to be saying, "I know exactly what you're thinking!"

People are Blue's first love, although food and toys are a close second and third. He absolutely ADORES toys.

Blue is a bundle of energy and thoroughly enjoys playing with our other dogs (who are larger) in the yard.

If you're interested in Blue, please contact us and we'll get back to you within a day. Since our adoption process involves a foster period and home visits, we're looking for a family in the Bradenton/Sarasota (FL) area.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Our application requests information about the adopter, other members of the household (including pets), and the home environment.

2.

Approve Application

Before an application is approved, we contact personal and vet references.

3.

Meet the Pet

If the application is approved, we schedule a "meet and greet." If that goes well, we move to the next step.

4.

Home Check

We take the desired animal to the home. Everyone in the family, including other pets, must be present.

5.

Take the Pet Home

If the home visit goes well, the family fosters the animal for several weeks. Adoption occurs if HPC and the family feel the "fit" is good.

Additional adoption info

Our application can be found at the bottom of the "Adopt" page on the HPC website. All animals are examined (with blood work and any other testing needed), altered, and vaccinated prior to adoption. The adoption fee is $100 for adult dogs, $50 for senior dogs, and $50-75 for cats. We are a volunteer-based sanctuary, so it may take a day or two to process your application.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our dogs and cats are fostered in four locations in the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida: Myakka City, West Bradenton, Bradenton, and Zolfo Springs. We attend community-wide adoption events, and we also schedule our own events at local pet stores.

More about this rescue

We provide refuge and rehabilitation for abandoned and abused animals until they are adopted.
