My story

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

Hi there! I’m Canela. I came to the shelter as a stray on September 30, 2024, and I’m still getting used to my new surroundings. I’m a bit shy and need some time to warm up to new people. I’m quite independent and enjoy doing my own thing, but with patience and love, I can be a loyal friend. I’m looking for someone who understands that I’ll need time to feel comfortable. Don’t worry—I’m up to date on my vaccines, microchipped, and spayed, ready to find my forever home. If you’re patient and kind, I can’t wait to meet you! We strongly recommend calling the shelter between 11am and 4pm to discuss more details about my background with our behavior team!

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.
