My story

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

Hi there! I’m Tux, a loving boy brought to the shelter as a stray on October 14th, 2024. I thrive on attention and absolutely adore being around people. I’m ready to fill your home with love and joy! I’m up to date on my vaccines, microchipped, and neutered, so all I need now is a forever family to share my heart with. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, I’m your guy! Let’s create some wonderful memories together!

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.
