Story
Brutus is a stunning boy with lots of strength. He's playful, goofy, and a big sweetie! He is unfortunately living his life confined to a bedroom, hoping someone can give him another chance at life.This sweet boy was surrendered 2 years ago because his owners decided to move without him. He was luckily adopted and has been very loved since then, but now he has run into another situation through no fault of his own. Brutus had a child with special needs move into his house. Although he's shown no aggression and has not had any issues with the child, his owner is concerned about the child not understanding how to interact with Brutus and therefore has to keep him separated. Instead of Brutus coming back to the shelter again to live in a kennel, his owner is keeping him until he can find a new home. It's not his owners fault and he is trying to do what's best for everyone, but unfortunately Brutus is suffering because of it. He isn't getting the exercise or attention he needs living his life in one bedroom, and he desperately deserves another chance at a family.He is a big boy with an even bigger heart, sweet as can be, and dog friendly. He has gained 15 lbs just since the recent change in his lifestyle, weighing almost 100 lbs now. He needs a family committed to helping him lose weight, and providing both the mental stimulation and physical exercise that he needs.He would benefit from some training to help him work on his leash manners as he was in a home that used an invisible fence, so he wasn't leash trained. A dog-savvy owner would be best for Brutus, as well. Please consider coming to Brutus's rescue and showing him what forever really means. He's ready for someone to give him the permanent home he deserves 🤎 Primary Color: Blue Brindle Weight: 93 Age: 3yrs 11mths 1wks

Story
🎵Well, I was raised up beneath the shade of a Maryland pine, and that's home, you knowSweet kibble, punkin pie, and homemade snacks, where the milk bones grow....🎵And my house, wasn't much to talk aboutBut it's gone now.And a little bit of chicken friedPup cups on a Friday nightA harness lead that fits just rightAnd the radio upI like to see the sunrise...🎵See the love in my volunteer's eyesFeel the crunch of a good chew bone And know a good friend's love🎵Hey there! They call me Big Mike. Some folks know me as Shooter. That's what I am-a straight shooter. No fuss no muss. What you see is what you get. I thought I'd start you out with a song to get you singing. My tale is a sad one but I'm not singing a sad song. This here is the life I want. You and me and some good snacks. I'm not singing about being left here twice. They said stay. And I did. And I waited. But that's in the past. That's not me anymore. I'm Looking for a new home. TLC.Talks, love and coffee. Wait they said don't give me coffee bad idea. Training, Love and Commitment that's my song. Can you dig it? Come sing with me! 🎤I'll do the drums.🥁I'm an amazing low key dog. Once I get past those yappers. Don't give up on me, we can do great things together. I'm great at events: I've been to the Bordeleau Vineyards Wine shin-dig and the Taylor's BBQ Event -yummy in my tummy! I like to meet people. I must say I have great Friends here at the HSWC ranch. They all love me. They make sure I get out early to go potty. I like to be neat in my cabin. Other friends take me in the truck and that is super fun. More friends make sure I get walked and last call for potty at night. They all walk by and say Hi and bye Mike. I feel the love.I want to be your one and only true love. I can entertain myself if you are busy. I like to stretch out on my cot and work on my toys. I do need some nice chew bones to keep me happy, then I'm all set. 🚫NO Cats... too shifty. 🚫NO Dogs either... Just Me and You and a Karaoke machine. ✅👨‍👩‍👧‍👦I'm kid tested and kid approved. Come and check me out. 🥦Oh yeah they said I need to go on a diet. boooo. I'm 85 pounds but should really be 75. (or less) No fun. 🐾I like a nice fun filled walk. Maybe we can burn some pounds away walking to get a burger? just kidding. I'm full of jokes. Lets get started with our new life...I have lots and lots of love to give. Yours truly and forever...❤️Mikey! Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 85 Age: 4yrs 11mths 3wks

Story
Who is ready to snuggle into the holiday season with a new best friend and sofa surfer? We are thrilled to introduce the new love of your life ...💗🌸Harli🌸💗This girl has it all! ✅🟢Wanna play? She is your girl! ✅🟢 How about hikes in the forrest? Yupper pupper! Her favorite part of walks is finding bushes and leaf piles to explore. We gets our business done real quick when we find the right grove of thistle! ✅🟢 Maybe just some snuggling, cuddling and the best hugs ever you say? ⬆️ Stop the search-this is the gal for you !!✅✅ easy car rider. She never tells you how to drive! 🏁✅🌕She is a short burst of medium energy walker. Being cooped up is not for her. She likes to move around and be a busy bee but sadly her 6x4 kennel gets her a little stir crazy. When she gets out for walks she does pull a bit at first. Once the potty break is done she settles down for a much easier walk. She walks easily on the harness lead and training collar with her favorite volunteers.She does not require long walks, but frequent outings will benefit her more. She will need daily walks to get out and smell the world.Frequent breaks to stop-drop-and roll into your lap for cuddles and hugs are mandatory. ✅🟢💗 Almost as important as her exercise, is her need to have her LOVE tank refilled. She is desperate to give and receive love. She will be so excited to see you. She gets her feelings hurt when the staff and volunteers walk by her without giving her love. How can they deprive her of the love she needs she wonders? Do they noT know her tank is close to empty? She devises a plan. "I will stand up and tell them my tank is empty."Nope didn't work."I will move my bed around ....that will surely tell them i am now critically low on love."Still nothing? (Ok she steps up her game. ) "Singing ...that should do it. "Yup here they come ready to pour the love on me... "wait where you going? no. I wasn't asking for food."Sigh.... So misunderstood!Please come and ask for Harli. Everyone that has spent a nice car ride, social event, and adoption event with her says the same thing. "This girl is all about love! "Can you help us fill her tank? You will not be disappointed. She is an all around good girl. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Perfect compact size. Beautiful coat. Loves wearing costumes...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Play group Queen! Best friends with. Boots and Burton....Now that play group is a fun show!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️She has Excitable energy out of the gate with dogs and cats, but can be redirected and can calm down.She's spent time in a home with cats. She will chase the cats that run and play. She can ignore cats that sit and chill. She's responds to correction from her hooman and is working on "leave it." She will need her hooman to help her manage her passions. Leash training inside the home will help with this process. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️She Loves her yard and playing in her pool.....But she loves you more!!❤️❤️Please get your app in don't make her wait for your love!

Story
Hi there, they call me Titan. The volunteers here consider me an easy going fella and a super cool walking partner. I arrived here with my Buddy Rocky. We still get to hang out some on walks and beside each other in the play yard. ✅I walk by other dogs ok. ❌😽Those cats can't be trusted. I'm a no cat guy. 🧹I'm neat in my kennel. I try to hold my potty to go outside.⚖️ They say I'm skinny. 53 pounds. I could use a few good meals. 📖 Background : rough. that's all I have to say about that. My goal is to land a new gig pretty soon. I'm trying to put myself out there and smile as much as possible. Rocky said that's the way to get a new bff. Smile and roll over for belly rubs. Rocky knows. He is charming the socks of those walker people. I hope o can find someone that will give me nice walks and a nice comfy couch. Or a dog bed on the floor is ok. I don't want to be walking the streets anymore. The ACOs are nice but I'm over the truck ride. I have a nice personality. I'll do what you like. I'll even watch the ⚾️Nats if you want. Just so I can be near you. I can go high speed or low speed. If you want hikes - you bet! If you want chill-sign me up! Please come and meet me. I've got a lot to share with the right person. I'd like to be someone's really special friend this time. I won't ask for much. Some snacks and you time. I've been here before and left and here again. No offense, I don't want to be here anymore!!✅sign up here for a loyal and loving new best friend. I won't leave your side. Just ask for T (as in I'm more of a Teddy Best than a Titan!)

Story
Hello and pleased to meet you. I'm Funyun! That's right a fun- youngin! I'm as fun as a bag of you guessed it... Funyuns! Here's a bit about me:My Background:I have lived my life with my dog Mom and a hooman. Then my mom got taken and my hooman took me to stay at this other place and would come by to visit. Then one day he didn't come anymore and I had to leave. So now I'm here. I'm meeting lots of nice hoomans. 🐶 I came in with two younger pups that I stayed with some at the place. I don't mind walking by the other yappers here. 🫒I am 63 pounds.⏳I need some time to learn new things. If someone could be patient with me and help me build my confidence, I will be the best dog.💡 I am smart and willing to please my hooman. ❎I am not fan of cats. I have had very limited experiences with things beyond the length of my leash. Cats are one of those things I don't know about and when they make their hissy sound and smack my face I get upset. I would like to find a new home where I can live inside WITHOUT cats. ❎ I'm a bit timid with creeky doors and the sounds inside the house. Learning basic training should help my fears go away.🏡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👩‍👧 Since I've always only lived by myself and one hooman, I may not do well in a large house with alot of activity and kids. It is not what I am used to right now. Hobbies: ✅Exploring on my easy medium walks. I have so much to catch up on. ✅Sharing snacks. I'll let you have the Funyuns. I'll take the milkbones. ✅Hanging out.✅Just being with a hooman who loves me.That's about it for me. Please come and visit me. It might take a few visit until I really connect with you, I've been moved around a bit. I'll try not to be any trouble for you, give me a chance to love you! I won't let you down.👍✅hoomans👍✅🐶👎❌ 🐈‍⬛🙀😿👎creeky doors make me nervous. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 63.2 Age: 5yrs 6mths 2wks

Story
BumbleBee has arrived here on planet HSWC along with 2 other Autobots, they are posing as dogs so they can blend in. BumbleBee is a sweet fella who has had some modifications done to streamline his ears. Maybe to reduce the air resistance and run faster. BumbleBee has been designed with a beautiful coat and a sweet personality. As he tries to figure things out on this new planet he is working his way into the hearts of the staff and volunteers. He is staying under the radar, trying to be a low key observer of our community. He presents himself timid, then friendly, with a hint of humor. As he expands his friend base we hope to learn all of his secrets. Come out and watch the transformation from autobot to loyal best friend. He has been through alot with his two companions. It would seem they were previously kept inside and well taken care of before they were dumped together. Possibly mother/ sister and father family unit. They keep their kennels neat and are respectful of others.Bumble has met some cats and seemed to be inquisitive but timid. He's processing what they are. His new leader will need to teach him the purpose of the fuzzy friends. Positive reinforcement is essential to success with Bumble. He might have come from a harsh environment. He is learning to love. Learning to see the good in people. All things new need to go slowly as he transitions to your world. Separating and low key are the keys to Bumble's Success. The two week transition shut down will be important for him to understand what is expected and not become overwhelmed. We know he is excited to see Mom/sister. But beyond that relationship he will need time to adjust to other dogs. He may not have had the best father son relationship. 😻✔️ok with cats🐶 ✔️ok with Mom/Sister dogs.❓other dogs unknown.He seems excited and curious as he passes by other dogs. Easy to walk up the kennels.🚖 ✔️Sweet personality. ❤️ All the charm of a vintage camero- Good looks and zippy around town! ✔️Housetrained.🚫no groups of people. Too much, too soon might be more than he can process right now🚫no young kids right now. Very timid.🚫👋no fast hands. Even when he knows you, quick movements are still startling and cause this fine fella to transform back into a scared autobot. 🍔food will always be high value item for him. He came to this planet thin. Feed separately. Understanding that he might have had an abrupt owner previously. Trust is coming but it takesT TimeL LoveC consistencyAnd patience.He will become the best, most loyal friend❤️ Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 54.2 Age: 2yrs 4mths 0wks
