Thank you so much for reaching out about our beloved Hiro—what a joy it is to know someone else sees the light in this special boy.
Hiro is still available for adoption, and while his adoption fee is $300, we’re inviting adopters to name their own adoption fee. He’s been waiting over 110 days for his second chance, and what matters most to us is finding the right home where he’ll be truly cherished.
Hiro’s story is one that touches everyone here at the shelter. He was adopted from us as a tiny puppy and spent his whole life with a loving family until a heartbreaking allergy diagnosis forced them to return him. Their baby developed a severe allergy to Hiro, and despite exhausting every option, they had to make the painful decision to say goodbye. They were absolutely devastated—and we could feel just how deeply they loved him.
Since coming back to us, it hasn’t taken long to understand why. Hiro is truly one of a kind. He’s a big favorite among our staff with his sunny spirit and sweet demeanor. He keeps his kennel spotless, walks in and out like a perfect gentleman, and never fails to brighten our days.
He’s in wonderful health aside from ongoing skin allergies. His previous family found that Apoquel combined with monthly allergy shots kept him comfortable. While we’ve continued with his shots and weekly medicated baths, we don’t currently have the funds to provide Apoquel. With the right care—and a calm, loving home—Hiro would absolutely flourish again.
And just a little fun fact: Hiro is completely peanut butter obsessed. Whether it’s a treat-stuffed toy or a smear on a spoon, if it tastes like peanut butter, he’s all in. His joy is contagious—seeing that tail wag over something so simple reminds us just how big his heart is.
Hiro deserves more than a kennel—he deserves a home filled with love, comfort, and a few peanut-buttery indulgences now and then. If you feel like he might be the dog you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to talk more.
Since we do not observe these animals in home settings, we cannot guarantee whether they are housebroken.
Upon intake, we ensure the following:
Spay/neuter procedures
Microchipping
All vaccinations
Blood and fecal testing (and treatment if necessary)
Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
A complimentary wellness exam, scheduled 7–10 days after adoption
Please note, adopters must live within an hour of our facility and be at least 21 years old.
Do you have any questions or would you like to schedule an appointment? 🐾✨

Our adoption fees for adult dogs start at $300, though could be higher based on adoption demand and medical costs. Our adoption fees for puppies start at $400, though could be higher based on adoption demand, and includes 4 veterinary visits to update vaccines and perform spay/neuter. Some dogs have higher adoption fees because of adoption interest
Our shelter mission focuses on medical and behavioral rehab cases, so our adoption fees never cover our costs.
We have an adoption application for dogs and cats and will check a vet reference as well as information regarding your home situation and pet compatibility.
Some adoptions will require a home visit.

More about this shelter
Animal Hope opened its doors as a standalone shelter on February 1, 2015.
Prior to that, Animal Hope operated as a small rescue at Animal Hospital Southwest. As the municipal veterinarian for the city of Fort Worth, Animal Hospital Southwest frequently pulled difficult cases that the city was not equipped to treat and rehabilitate due to budgetary and time constraints.
From this organization was born the Animal Hope shelter, a rescue focusing on rehabilitation and “second chance” adoptions.
