My story

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

The King Has Entered the Building… and He’s Ready to Retire

For years, Elvis lived the ultimate Hound-dog life—roaming free, dodging capture like a four-legged rockstar, and (ahem) leaving behind a legacy of pups. But every legend reaches a moment when the spotlight fades, and it’s time to settle down.

One day, after a lifetime of evading well-meaning fans, Elvis just… sat down. No more running. No more sneaking meals from friendly neighbors. He was ready. And that’s when HSSM stepped in.

At five years old, Elvis is finally embracing a slower pace. He walks beautifully on a leash, taking in the world with a quiet curiosity. He’s friendly toward other dogs but isn’t the type to roughhouse or wrestle in your living room—he’s more of a laid-back companion, happy to simply be near his people. While we haven’t seen him around children firsthand, we suspect he’d make a great family dog. His behavior around cats is still a mystery.

And in a twist of fate worthy of a power ballad—despite his years of adventuring, Elvis is heartworm negative.

Now all he needs is a home to call his own. If you’re looking for a loyal, mild-mannered dog who’s finally ready to trade the open road for a warm couch, Elvis is waiting.

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.
