Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Lightning McQueen! This is your complete love bug wrapped up burrito style in a very handsome guy! LMQ LOVES his people and is fantastic with littles. Little foster girls are under 5 and they are besties. This good boi is great with other dogs; prefers the calmer furry friends. He has not been around cats but probably should steer clear from them as his prey drives suggests this. But, that is ok! Kids and dogs are a big deal. :) LMQ knows basic commands, eager to please and very food motivated. Edit to add, purses are not off limits when goodies are hiding in there. Conclusion is he is great at seek and find and likes the finer, organic kid treats. LOL! The young man is crate trained and potty trained. When left out he will leave your home as is and not disturb a thing unless it’s a tastey on the counter. But, I might steal a treat as well, especially if they smell good. An active family would be the very best scenario for LMQ. He loves attention as well as giving it. He does require a 6ft fence or responsible pet parent on the other end of a very long leased/leash. LMK is a dapper 1-2 year old love bug. hhpr.rescuegroups.org for the required application. $275 adoption feeVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 20, 2024, 8:43 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Bender the defender! Call him Benny! This sweet boy desires a family so badly. He wants to be with you and be close. He wants to take walks and cuddle, play a little and cuddle more. Bender came from animal control due to being abandoned in an apartment. His one and only person fell ill, was taken from the apartment and Bender was left there. Alone. Abandoned. Two weeks was the estimated time. He came to us very overweight, needing some confidence and love with the recent trauma of being left.  He lives with some cats that keep away from him. His buddy is a one year old German shepherd. Bender is a calm canine companion looking for love.  He is willing to learn and listens well once settled. All he wants is his person to be there for and with him. Bender would very much appreciate some one on one time with someone that will love him forever. He truly is a best friend. If you can be the person we want to talk to you!! Bender wants to meet you. our have to pinky paw swear to love him as big as the sky. hhpr.rescuegroups.org for the required adoption applicationVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 12, 2024, 10:30 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Miss Paisley Parker! ALL BREEDS ARE A GUESS When you say hi you must speak with a British accent and know that she expects an ice tax at any chance there is. She knows her name, knows sit, knows paw and "potty." Paisley will sit SO pretty and patiently waiting for her praise/pet/treat. She is very treat motivated. Paisley is working on her leash walking. She is getting the hang of it and lets everyone know how well she is doing. This tiny tyke is kind of like a toddler that just learned to walk. She is not interested in being held, she wants down and she wants to play. She wants to meet everyone that comes her way or out of her way. She is Ms Social butterfly! Toys, stuffies, Kong's, safe chews are all her favorite things in her pass time of entertaining herself while mom/dad take a break. We suggest a dog friend for her. She seems to do really well when there is another dog around. She currently lives with one big dog. one small dog, 2 kids and 2 parents. She is an active little girl, so, a family that will help her thrive and be involved with her would be best.   HHPR.rescuegroups.org for the required adoption application. $300 adoption feeVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 24, 2024, 11:19 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Hank, aka Mr. Hank, aka Hanky Panky, aka Hanker Pankers. Although I may look like One-Eyed Willie, I’m more Goonie than pirate. I’m estimated to be 12 years old, but don’t write me off because I can still walk briskly and play and explore. That said, my favorite pastime is keeping the sofa cushions warm while snoring – but not in a log-sawing way, it’s a soothing snore, I promise.  I’m fully housebroken and Doggy Door Certified (if there was a certificate for that, I’d have it with honors). I love a fenced yard where I can explore and enjoy the sun and roll in the grass.  I love to go on car rides, too. I’m great with other dogs – I’m currently living with 7 other dogs ranging in size from 25 to 65 pounds – but I’m not really a fan of the felines. I haven’t yet met a person I didn’t like, so long as they give me happy scritches.    My left eye had to be yeeted. There was a ton of pressure in it and my foster mom gave me meds and took care of it until the eye just quite literally died. I am SO happy to be relieved of that annoying, stupid eyeball. I LOVE BEING A GOONIE PUP! I still do all of the things I was doing and more because I am more comfortable. PLEASE DON’T PASS ME UP. I already love you.
