My personality

My story

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

Leah is a young Chihuahua mix with a lot of love to give!

At only 15 pounds, she's spunky, energetic, and curious about the world around her. She's always up for an adventure and would be a perfect fit for an active family. Her funny personality will keep her humans smiling for years to come!

Leah is our smallest dog, and her favorite playmate is a 60-pound Great Pyrenees/Foxhound mix who tolerates her antics. So she would be a great companion for a mild-mannered medium-to-large dog.

Our adoption process involves a foster (trial) period and several home visits, so we're looking for a family in our area...Bradenton or Sarasota (Florida).

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Our application requests information about the adopter, other members of the household (including pets), and the home environment.

2.
Approve Application

Before an application is approved, we contact personal and vet references.

3.
Meet the Pet

If the application is approved, we schedule a "meet and greet." If that goes well, we move to the next step.

4.
Home Check

We take the desired animal to the home. Everyone in the family, including other pets, must be present.

5.
Take the Pet Home

If the home visit goes well, the family fosters the animal for several weeks. Adoption occurs if HPC and the family feel the "fit" is good.

Additional adoption info

Our application can be found at the bottom of the "Adopt" page on the HPC website. All animals are examined (with blood work and any other testing needed), altered, and vaccinated prior to adoption. The adoption fee is $100 for adult dogs, $50 for senior dogs, and $50-75 for cats. We are a volunteer-based sanctuary, so it may take a day or two to process your application.

Our dogs and cats are fostered in four locations in the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida: Myakka City, West Bradenton, Bradenton, and Zolfo Springs. We attend community-wide adoption events, and we also schedule our own events at local pet stores.
