My story

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

ABOUT DAMIEN
Interested in a fur baby rather than a human baby? Meet Damien, the crazy, silly, and fun boy who’s always ready for an adventure! Damien was surrendered to HAP when his owner could no longer care for him, but he’s kept his joyful spirit and playful energy. He’s previously lived with cats and other dogs, making him a well-rounded, social guy fur friends. However, he would prefer a home without children, as they are just too fast-paced and loud for him. Despite his dislike for kids, Damien is a total mush for all adults and eager to make some grown-up friends. He LOVES to play fetch and can keep going for as long as you’re willing to throw the ball, so he’s looking for a family that can match his active lifestyle! He knows basic commands and is eager to learn more. Damien has had a blast participating in our Doggy Day Out program, where he’s made lots of new friends during his outings. Here’s what our volunteers have to say about their day with him:

“We started our day by walking in Carousel park. Damien was very interested horses, ducks, and other dogs. While we kept a good distance, he was very content just sitting and watching. We headed to Marshall’s where he got a ton of attention from staff and shoppers. He picked out his toy and treats, before we headed home where we snuggled on couch and he took a nap. He is the cutest, when I sat on the couch, he made himself right at home and laid on top of me. This boy LOVES to cuddle! I hope Damien finds a home soon!” - Gabriella

“Today we took out Damien again! He is the sweetest and most friendly dog. We went to the UD campus and walked around the Pomeroy Rail Trail, introduced him to some of our friends, and hung out on Main Street. Even with the bad weather, we had an amazing day with Damien and we love spending time with him!” - Alyssa

"Damien is an absolute sweetheart. He was very energetic in the beginning when I first met him and once we got outside he was so excited to walk around and say hi to everyone. I fell in love with him in our short time together. We went for a walk around the UD campus and we had to stop at Starbucks for a pup cup. He was very good on the leash and got excited for all of the new smells. He would be a great fit for a family that likes to go on walks and is very active. I had a great day with him and hope to get him again for my next doggy day out. Miss him already!!!" - Melissa

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.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is designed to help you and your family find the perfect match in a pet. When the right match is made, we strive to conduct our adoptions thoughtfully, transparently, and with the utmost respect. You can view and submit an adoption questionnaire online ahead of your visit by going to our website: humaneanimalpartners.org. A questionnaire is not required to come visit us, but we will have you fill one out if interested in meeting with our animals. We strive to make the best match possible for you and for the animals. Most of our pets can go home same-day and come vaccinated, spay/neutered, and microchipped.
