Story
This friend has just arrived to us as a stray. When animals are found as strays, our staff will search for an owner. If no one comes to reclaim the pet, we will begin looking for a new home. Unfortunately, we rarely have a background on stray animals. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with other animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Hi-ya humans! I'm Chester! I have a heart as big as my head, and I have a pretty good-sized noggin! I don't use it all for smarts though.. I have lots of happy thoughts about running in the grass, yummy snacks, and of course, snuggles with my favorite people! I have a glass half full kind of mentality and can't wait to bust out of puppy prison once and for all!   I'm a super social butterfly, and have been great at events, I love meeting new humans and going for adventures! I am open to meeting other friendly doggies, too! If you have a dog who needs a friend, I volunteer as tribute for the job. Mostly, though, I can't wait to find a forever friend who will bring me home and love me forever! If you like two years old, 50ish pound, happy snorty boys, make sure you come meet me! I don't think you'll be disappointed. I have the smooshiest face and will surely keep you smiling and laughing - don't we all need some more happiness in our lives?!   Have Room in Your Home? Welcoming in a pet saves your new pet's life and creates space for another pet to get a chance! Not sure if Chester would be the best fit for you? Send in a generic app! Our team will work with you to find a pet to best fit your lifestyle! You will go home with a starter bag of food, one month of flea and heartworm prevention, and also have 90 DAYS of training help included with your adoption, if needed!

Story
He has been the most wonderful companion for me. I bought him as a friend for my husbands American Bulldog who when my spouse passed and could not stop crying for him. Since then I've almost lost my ability to walk due to a hip needing replaced and losing my health insurance when my job closed down. A car ran thru my home on Thanksgiving day and I've been in temporary housing ever since. I'll be moving in with my son in his small trailer and can't take the dogs. I'm asking if you can help me rehome Kobe before that happens. He's potty trained and used to family life. Please call Kathy at 302-983-1761November 5, 2024, 3:21 pm

Story
Dog Name: Charlie Breed: American Bully Sex: F Age: She will be 4 in November. Weight: 60 lbs ish. Medical Needs: None Housebroken: Yes, as long as kept on a regular schedule. Crate trained: Yes, she loves her crate. She spends a lot of time in there relaxing throughout the day with the door open. Good in the car: Charlie rides pretty well, but should be tethered to something so she isn’t climbing all over the car and you. Good on a leash: With a prong, yes. Without it she weaves all over and will pull, especially if she sees something that excites her. Energy level: She’s either at a 2 or a 10 . She chills with the best of them most of the time, but when she gets a wild hair up her arse…watch out. My girl is coming in hot, and has absolutely no regard for your knees. Need a fenced in yard: Yes. There’s no way she’d be able to do her zoomies while leashed. Dog Friendly: She’s done well with everyone in the household, except our resident HBIC. Charlie should not be placed in a home with an assertive female. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Yes, Charlie is a scaredy cat, and needs a friend to show her everything is ok in new settings. Cat Friendly? Yes, but will pounce at and chase for fun Charlie is easily redirected when she does this. Kid Friendly: Our youngest is 9 and she does well with him. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Age 8 and up. As mentioned earlier, she can be a big baby, so kids old enough to understand to give her space as she’s acclimating would be best. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Charlie came to us from a breeder surrender in 2021 with 17 other kennel mates. She was adopted, and is very loved by the family that fostered her when she first came up. Since then, there have been many significant life changes for her family. Changes that are preventing Charlie from living her best life For that reason, we have decided to find her the forever home that’s best for her. Charlie came to us rather unsocialized, with a bit of stranger danger. She has made a lot of progress over the past 3 years, but she can still be weary of both new people and loud boisterous males. Our guess is this goes back to whatever she experienced prior to coming to GRR. Charlie is an absolute gem. She’s affectionate, comical and so much fun to be around. She deserves the best, and we just can’t give it to her here… We are hoping to find her a low key family that loves and appreciates Bullies as much as we do. Also hoping her new family isn’t far from Milton so we are close enough to offer support if needed.

Story
ABOUT TONIC Tonic is a 2-year-old bulldog mix that loves meeting new people! Tonic originally came to HAP as a puppy and was swiftly adopted. In their home, Tonic was severely attacked by another dog and returned to the shelter a year later. Despite being back at HAP, Tonic is still easy-going and sweet as ever! When he's not cuddling with our staff, he can usually be found zooming around outside. He has such a goofy personality and loves to play. His favorite toys are chewy bones. Tonic already knows basic commands and walks well with a harness. He is very food-motivated to learn, making the possibilities endless! He loves people, making him the perfect addition to your family! Tonic has participated in our Doggy Day Out program, here's how our volunteers describe him: "I had the best day out with Tonic! He is truly the sweetest goodest boy there is! He loves to stick his head out the car window...belly rubs, and cuddle on the couch. While we did pass some dogs on the other side of the street, Tonic remained calm and curious the entire time. Mr. Tonic is amazing and I hope he finds the loving playful family he deserves." - Molly "I took Tonic out, he knows how to tug on those heartstrings!! We went on a long walk and he was so good, just wanted to sniff everything! We got him a pup cup and went back to the house to play with some toys. He slept with his head on my lap the entire ride back to the shelter. I hope he gets adopted soon he is such a sweet boy!" - Brooke "We had a fantastic time with Tonic today. This boy is very special and I hope he finds he family soon! We took him to the Riverfront for a long walk. He wanted to say hi to every woman and child we passed and got some good pets from them. We ended our outing enjoying Starbucks and sitting in the sun. He was unsure of Gavin (adult male) at first, but warmed up snuggling him and giving him kisses! Not sure if sunbathing or the pup cup was Tonic's favorite part of the outing." - Taylor "Tonic did so well! He never barked at anything or anyone. I took him to my apartment, and he almost immediately grabbed a toy and jumped up on the couch with my roommate, getting love and chewing on a toy. He settled faster than any other dog I've taken home! I think he'd be a great playful dog, who also loves some cuddly couch time!" - Sawyer **Understandably, after a traumatic experience with a large dog, Tonic can be nervous to meet other dogs and we do recommend he ***Tonic is currently in foster, available for adoption by appointment! If you are interested in adopting Tonic, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals.
