Story
Lola enjoys meeting new people and is generous with her affection. She is a Bulldog mix and is approximately 7 years old. She needs lifelong medication for her chronic dry eye and environmental allergies, both of which are under good control with her current regimen. She recently had to have her right eye removed but has healed well from the surgery. She is current on all vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is house-trained and crate-trained. She would love a new home where she can get the attention and affection she so enjoys. She should be placed as an only dog, as she does not get along with other dogs.

Story
I’ve cared for my dog since he was a newborn from a local breeder, and he is now a healthy, vibrant 5-year-old. I’m seeking a loving and experienced adopter who has the financial stability, time, and dedication to provide him with the attention and care he deserves. The ideal owner would have patience and a true passion for dogs. My dog is full of life—energetic, affectionate, and always eager to interact with his people. He’s friendly, loves companionship, and occasionally displays a silly, playful side that brings joy to those around him. If you’re looking for a loyal, spirited companion and have the time and resources to ensure his happiness, he could be the perfect addition to your home.

Story
My Adoption fee has been sponsored!Hi, I'm Logo! I can be a little shy and nervous at first, especially around new people or situations. It takes me some time to feel safe, but once I do, I'm all about fun and love! I'll happily chase toys, roll around in the grass, and snuggle up for some cozy bonding time. I might need a little patience to warm up, but once you've earned my trust, I'll show you just how sweet and playful I can be!Please email adoptoins at hssv.org if you would like to meet Logo.

Story
My adoption fee has been sponsored!* Potty Trained* Crate Trained* Gets along with other dogs* Good on car rides. * Available for 3 week trial adoption.Hi, my name is Benji and I'm a party animal! I love to be on the go and would make a great running, jogging or hiking buddy. I would also thrive in an environment where I am put to work: think agility classes, scent work etc. I adore other dogs and would love nothing more than going home with large, active and tolerant dog who will play with me to keep me busy. I have lived with older kids and I befriend everyone I come in contact with. I'm food and toy motivated and I learn fast! If you are looking for an energizer bunny...you found me!
