Story
Born: April 20, 2025 I am seeking my forever home! Adoption Donation: $600 Brady is a young puppy who deserves the chance to grow up in a loving home. After being abandoned on the side of the road with his five littermates, he came to us for a fresh start and the opportunity to experience the safety and care every puppy should know. All of Brady’s siblings have found their forever homes, and now he’s patiently waiting for his turn. He’s still a puppy with so much ahead of him — ready to learn, bond, and grow alongside a family of his own. Brady is looking for a home that will give him the love, guidance, and stability he’s been waiting for. In return, he’ll offer loyalty, joy, and the chance to watch him blossom into a wonderful companion. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Noah—the clumsy, goofy sweetheart who’s growing into his big puppy body and bigger personality! He may start off shy, but once he feels safe, he’ll show you his playful, energetic, silly side. Noah loves zooming around, chewing his bone, and then curling up for a cozy nap right next to you. He’s great with other dogs once he gets to know them, crate trained, doing awesome on a leash, and almost potty trained. Cats aren’t his thing, but he’ll shower his humans with love. If you’re looking for a fun, loyal adventure buddy with a heart of gold—Noah is your guy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Neely! Neely is a sweet, playful 5-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix with a petite frame and a big, loving heart. Neely is on a furlough this week: "She’s super playful and super curious about everything. Potty training is going well if we take her out enough but if we have pee pads around she’ll use them, she didn’t like the windy night we had the other day, it scared her and she didn’t want to go outside so pee pads for the win. She learned how to sit! Although still working on it hahaha. And she’s doing much much better on leash She has been around my niece (5yo) and nephew (6months) and did so well, not even nibbling that much just many licks! If you’re looking for a little shadow who wants to love you endlessly, Neely is your girl!" born 8/1/25 Apply at projecthopearf.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 25, 2025, 10:36 pm
