My story

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

Sandra is currently living in one of our amazing foster homes! Here is a note from her foster:

Sandra is a lovely girl and has been a joyful addition to our home for the last few weeks. She was comfortable as soon as she walked in. She is completely house-broken and sleeps through the night in bed with me. She loves to hang out in the backyard and chase tennis balls.

She is free to roam throughout the house even when nobody is home and doesn’t get into things- she mostly sleeps. When we work from home she sleeps or plays with her toys, especially her Shaggy (from Scooby Doo) doll.

She walks with a loose leash (unless she notices a squirrel which is not always the case) and happily says hi to people and dogs. Sandra takes treats, food, and medicine in peanut butter (creamy not crunchy!) gently from our hand. In the car she is well behaved, and sits and looks out the window or lies down.

She is mouthy when playing but we are working on this with her. Because of the mouthiness Sandra would do better in a house without kids under 12.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting and saving a life! Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to adopt while making the process a positive experience, so here are some things to know:

+ You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt at HSHV. We welcome all--from any county or state!

+ Prior to visiting an animal, you must complete an application. You can do this at the shelter, or save time by bringing a completed one with you by downloading it from our website at www.hshv.org/howtoadopt.

+ Some animals have special adoption requirements.

+ Adoptions are first-come, first served and holds are limited to one 24-hour hold per family.

+ Please allow at least an hour if you plan on adopting. Bring your driver's license or other government-issued ID with proof of address, a copy of your lease (if it applies) and vaccination records for current pets.

+ Applications are accepted up until 15 minutes prior to closing.

+ Most adoptions are same-day, you'll take home your new friend!

When our animals go home, they've received an initial health check and have been:
+ Spayed/Neutered
+ Microchipped
+ Current on vaccinations (as appropriate to their age)
+ Dewormed
+ Feline Leukemia tested (kittens and cats)
