My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dip! One of the “evasive maneuvers” triplets. Dip is the only shorthair triplet (they are all beautiful), but he wins the gold medal for being the most likely to snuggle when he is exhausted from the chaos. He has the most adorable cheeks - they are so defined that he almost appears to have dimples! Dip, like his brothers, Duck and Dive, is one hundred ninety-nine percent kitten - wide open playing, endless mischief making, zoomies - no matter the hour, ridiculous curiosity, stealing objects that are not even deemed toy-worthy in the eyes of most humans and, most importantly, providing the best entertainment ever!



Dip, Duck and Dive were born, in July, 2023, to a feral mom - they were pretty evasive when it came to catching them. All three were extremely unhappy about being apprehended and were not shy about sharing their ungrateful attitude while waiting at our vet’s office, where they were dropped off for their combo testing, for me to pick them up. They lost all of their ungrateful disdain of being catnapped almost immediately upon arrival at my house. When the human puts you in a room with a cushy, soft bed, gives you wet food and there are toys to be played with, you kinda forget to be mad! When they came to me to foster they were only about 8 weeks old and I could not tell them apart at all. After about a week of them being with me, I could tell some subtle differences in their fur length and, at that point, the extremely faint coloration on their tails, ears and faces that was emerging.



Dip has never been around children or dogs but I have no doubt he will be fine with either as long as introductions are handled properly and patiently.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee for dogs is $85 and cats $75 (we will discount if more than one pet is adopted at the same time or the adoptee is taking on some type of medical care). We do allow out-of-state adoptions, however, transportation is the responsibility of the adopter.

We require a completed adoption application with a vet reference provided. We screen all applications prior to a meet and greet and we will call your vet to verify your information. Adoption applications are approved on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration matching the needs of the pet to an owner. Some long distance adoptions may also require a home visit from a local animal rescuer in the adopter’s area.

HSTC is an all volunteer organization - we have no paid staff and we DO NOT have a shelter. The majority of our pets are in individual foster homes with fosters who work full time jobs - some of our dogs are in boarding at one of our vet's offices. We make every effort to respond to questions and make contact on applications within 24-48 hours of receiving them. Please be patient with us.

Go meet their pets

HSTC partners with the local PetSmart store in Albany Georgia in adopting our cats into permanent homes. We rotate our cats every two weeks to keep them from getting too bored or stressed while in the adoption center. Our foster homes are happy to work with anyone that would like information on any of our cats that are not currently in rotation and housed at the PetSmart adoption center. Please do not hesitate to email us for information on how to meet your new best friend!

HSTC holds small adoption events at PetSmart in Albany, GA on the first and third weekends of each month where you can meet some of our dogs available for adoption. PetSmart Charities holds national adoption events during the months of February, May, September and November and HSTC participates in each of these national events. HSTC does not hold our normal first and third weekend events during the months of the national adoption events. We are happy to schedule a meet and greet with potential adopters who would like to meet particular dogs once an application is approved.
