Story
Star is a very loving dog. She loves to play and cuddle. We've had her for just over 2 years now and did a lot of work to get her to get along with our original duo, and were successful until near the end of my pregnancy when they just snapped at each other. Due to the lack of time between work and the little one in unable to give Star the attention needed to get her to get along with my other female again. Star loves to chase and pin the cats, so due to this and her attitude with my other female I feel it would be best for her to be in a single animal home. She gets super excited and jumps around in circles when she needs to go. Star does have separation anxiety due to her being surrendered a few times before we took her in from a coworker who was going to dump her on the streets. Please help me give this sweet girl a loving home.

Story
Hey there! My name is Pork Chop! I am handsome boy that was surrendered to the shelter because I wasn't getting along with the other dog in my home and being overprotective. Because of this, I would need to be the only fur baby in my future home! I am friendly with children, but the more respectful, the better! A home that doesn't have frequent visitors would also be preferred! I am so much fun though and will keep you endlessly entertained! I am very strong and high-energy, so I would need someone that is willing to give me the exercise that I need! If you are going to take me for walks, it would be best for me if I walked somewhere that doesn't have a lot of activity or other dogs around because I do get reactive and pull on the leash. While I do have a lot of energy, I do like to settle down and get belly rubs or take a nice roll in the grass! I would really benefit from some training classes to help me be the best dog I can be! I had a hard time in the shelter when I first came in, and I was so fortunate to have someone that was willing to give me a foster home for a short while! I was able to relax and show my true self. They loved me dearly, but we all knew going into it that it was only going to be temporary. Now I am back, my anxiety coming back as well. I am really hoping I can find my forever home soon because shelter life is not for me! Please come to meet me so I can show you how awesome of a boy I can be!

Story
Hi friends! Piggy here! I am a sweet and fun little lady that was unfortunately surrendered to the shelter because my brother and I did not get along in the home. As sad as that is, I am ready to start fresh and find my new forever home! I love people - kids included! I do well with them and would be a great family dog! I would need to be your only fur-baby though since I tend to be reactive towards most dogs and tend to lunge after cats. I promise that I will be worth it though and give you all the love in return! I am a bug cuddle bug and just crave human attention! I also love to go on walks and play around in the grass! I am a very well-rounded girl! I do sometimes pull and react towards other dogs when I am on my walks, so please be patient with me and be willing to work with me on this! When there are no other dogs around, I walk like a dream! I would love to be your new best friend! Come meet me here at the shelter and see if we may be a perfect match! Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 51.4 Age: 2yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
Hey there! Ryan Reynolds is my name, but you probably already knew that. I have unfortunately had a rough go if it when it comes to finding that right fit - I was adopted out twice but returned not long after because they didn't understand that I am what you call a "project dog". I then was adopted out another time, and man, was I thriving with them... until I wasn't. They really worked with me to be the best dog I could be, but umltimately, the children in my home were my downfall. I was friendly with them at first, but over time, the loud noises, kid's toys, and commotion was all just too much for me. I started to develop some protectiveness of my main caretaker and it was a concern for them. So I have now found myself here yet again. First-time dog owners would most likely not be a good fit for me. I have my flaws and quirks, as all dogs do, but mine do require a little more extra effort and patience to work through. I am so so smart and eager to learn, which is why I would be a perfect fit for someone who is willing to train and work with me to be the best dog I can be! I love going on hikes and exploring my surroundings, and I am a great walker once I get into a groove! I do have some resource guarding tendencies with high-value treats and bones, but as long as you give me my space while I eat, it is something that is easily managed! Because of my history with this, I need to be in a kid and animal-free household. My ideal home? Quiet, experienced, patient, and looking for an absolute best friend. I can promise you that I will be your protector, confidant, cuddle buddy! I really need to find my forever home - this shelter life is not for me! Are you willing and able to take me home and work on this "project dog"? I promise I will give you all the love in return!

Story
Hi! My name is Jason! My story is somewhat of a sad one. I was acquired by local police of that jurisdiction after being involved in a dog fight. I still had a collar and leash on me at the time, so the officers assumed I must've been someone's pet! They brought me to the local veterinarian office to check for a microchip... no luck. They held me there for two whole weeks, hoping I would be reclaimed... I never did. The local shelter unfortunately was a kill shelter, so they said if I were to be brought to them, I would go on the euthanasia list. Luckily, that's when HSSC was called into action! They were asked if they would be willing to save me from such a harsh fate which obviously is how I ended up here! Now that I have been given a second chance, I would love nothing more than to show what a wonderful companion I can be! I am SO sweet with people and just want all of the love and attention I can get! I am incredibly smart, loyal, and goofy and would make a fantastic companion for anyone willing to put in the work to make me the best dog I can be! I am a big, strong boy, so I would do best with children that can handle my energy level, but kids in my home are definitely a possibility for me! As for dogs, given my history as well as my reaction to the dogs here, I will definitely need a home without other animals. I have a zest for life, and now that I am here, I would love nothing more than to share that with a new family I can call mine! Come meet me at the shelter! I'll be waiting!

Story
Hey there! My name is Zeus, and I am a big and friendly boy that was surrendered to the shelter because I was a little too much for the child in the home. I am by no means aggressive - I just am a very big boy that doesn't always know his own strength! That being said, I would probably do best in a home with older children and people who can handle a strong dog like myself! I had never really been around dogs before coming here, and at when I first came, I was pretty indifferent with them. However, the longer I am here, the more overwhelmed and anxious I get when around the other dogs. That's not to say there may not be a special dog out there that may be a good fit for me, but for the most part, I would probably prefer to not have to share my home and family with another dog. I am very loving and smart, so I would do very well in some sort of training classes or even just us working together one-on-one to make me the best dog I can be! I have a bit of energy and spunk, so I would prefer a home that has the space and willingness to give me lots of exercise! I love to run and play, but I will also chill out on the couch with you and get some pets! Think you can handle a big lovey boy like me? Ask to meet me at the shelter! Hopefully sooner than later though because I could really use a way out of shelter life for good! Primary Color: Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 76.4 Age: 5yrs 6mths 1wks
