My story

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

Meet Pretty — a strong, curious, and playful pup who’s ready to find her forever family! Her story is one of resilience and hope, and she’s come so far since her first night at the shelter.

Pretty’s journey began on a freezing Thanksgiving night when she was found tied to a fence outside our shelter with nothing but a bucket of water. She was scared, cold, and unsure of the world around her. But since then, she’s blossomed into a dog full of life and love.

Now, Pretty is a happy, energetic girl who adores running and playing in the yard. She’s got a strong, athletic build and a curious nose that loves to sniff every leaf, flower, and blade of grass she encounters. Her playful nature is matched by her gentle, thoughtful side, making her a wonderful mix of adventure and affection.

Pretty’s a water lover, too — splashing around on warm days is one of her favorite pastimes. She’s also a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs. If you’ve got treats, you’re in luck! Pretty’s love for snacks makes her eager to learn and ready to please. She’s already mastered `sit` and would love to learn more.

Pretty would thrive in an active home with a family who loves outdoor adventures, playtime, and exploring new places. If you’re always on the move and want a loyal companion to share your adventures, Pretty might be your perfect match.

She’s up to date on her vaccines, heartworm negative, and ready for her next big adventure — finding a family to call her own. Could that be you? Reach out and meet Pretty today. She’s ready to fill your life with joy, laughter, and endless tail wags.

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.
