Story
Her name is Poppy. She's mostly a good girl, and is very loving. She loves to give and receive attention. She has a problem with going potty in the hallway on the carpet here. Which makes us have to rug scrub constantly or have her in her crate all the time which I hate doing. It could be that she has just marked this spot by this point. She will go outside to potty and does everyday. She knows how to use an automatic dog door. She is 8 years old and still full of tons of energy. She loves children and is very affectionate.

Story
Zeke is a high energy sweet boy. He aims to please his owner and loves attention. He is a high energy dog. He loves to play tug of war, run, hike and go for car rides. He is 14 months old. We got him at 8 weeks old with another male puppy. They were best buds until about 6 weeks ago. They got into a fight and haven't stopped fighting since. We have children in the home so the risk is too great for us to be able to keep him. The ideal home for Zeke would be one where he is the only pet. He needs an owner who is active and has the time to spend with him and play.

  Please see HSBC website to adopt. -Hover "Adopt". Click on "Dog". -Scroll to "How to Adopt" - Click on "Dog Application" Stormy certainly has the Boxer vibe AND personality. She is wildly fun, with lots of energy. She is certain that she is the funniest person in the room. Her very first birthday is December 6th, 2025! She doesn't might gifts that are for her birthday AND for Christmas - her wish is a home where she will never be left behind. Stormy will need training, of course, but if you love to laugh, she is the girl for you. Stormy is around 46 lbs, is spayed, UTD on prevention and is microchipped. She has the typical Boxer coat pattern, but is Black with White. Her adoption fee is $300. She has been good with dogs, kids, and adults. We do not know about cats. December 9, 2025, 2:29 pm
