My story

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

Meet Cheeks, a 7-year-old Catahoula with a heart full of love and the wisdom of a well-lived life. This sweet boy came to us with his buddy Sully after their owner passed away, leaving them in search of a new home where they can feel safe and loved again.

Cheeks may have some challenges with his vision, but don’t let that fool you—he gets around just fine and handles life with confidence. He’s fully housetrained, walks like a dream on a leash, and is as friendly with other dogs as he is with people. Whether you’re heading out for a stroll or enjoying a quiet day at home, Cheeks is the kind of companion who makes every moment better.

If you’re looking for a calm, loyal friend who will adore you unconditionally, come meet Cheeks today. He’s ready to find his second chance at happiness!

Additional adoption info

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.
