My story

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

Fila has won The Biggest Doggie Smile Ever contest! Would you please just look at that happy face. She at one time was not the happiest pups though. Poor gal arrived here as a stinky stray not feeling too good. HRA wasted no time fixing her up which made her smile even bigger! Fila is now feeling frisky and loved. She so enjoys her time outside with us and especially loves getting cuddles and treats. The way she trots alongside us is so charming and fun! So, meet this fun, wiggly sweetie today.

Additional adoption info

We're dedicated to finding loving homes for all the pets in our care. All you need is love-- and a state issued ID.

WE HAVE 2 ADOPTION CENTERS TO SERVE YOU:

Our doors are open from 12 PM to 7 PM every day, offering you ample time to visit and meet your potential new companion. Please arrive no later than 6:30 PM to ensure you have plenty of time to interact with our adorable pups.

Adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Be sure to bring a leash for your new dog or a carrier for your new cat or small animal. Most animals are ready to go home with you right after you meet them!


Can't make it in person? No problem! We offer virtual adoptions for animals in foster homes. From the comfort of your own home, you can browse our pets online, set up virtual meet and greets, and even conduct adoption counseling sessions.
