My story

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

I am currently in a foster home and not at HSNBA, if you are interested in meeting me, please contact the nice folks at HSNBA so they can put you in contact with my foster family to set up a meet & greet. E-mail HSNBA at adoption@hsnba.org, call us at: (830) 629-5287 or stop by and speak with the folks at HSNBA at 3353 Morningside Dr. to get your information sent over to my foster home. My foster family is the best and can give you more information on me.

🐾❤️ Mufasa Needs a Hero – A Safe Home to Heal 🐾❤️

Mufasa has waited long enough. This 70 lb terrier mix has spent far too much of his life in the shelter, and now—facing heartworm treatment—he needs a home more than ever. 💔

Mufasa is a striking brown and black boy with a fiery soul. He’s made incredible progress during his time with us: walking beautifully on leash, becoming more confident every day, and even making friends with other dogs. 🐕‍🦺🐾 He’s cautious at first, but once you earn his trust, he’s sweet, loyal, and listens when you call his name. He knows some basic commands and truly wants to connect.

But here’s the truth: the shelter is no place for a dog to go through heartworm treatment. The stress, noise, and constant commotion make recovery dangerous. What Mufasa needs is a calm, patient home where he can rest, recover, and finally experience what it means to belong. ❤️‍🩹

The good news? Our team is ready to work with potential adopters or fosters, offering guidance and support every step of the way. Most often, our heartworm-positive dogs go home in a foster-to-adopt arrangement—so you can start building trust while Mufasa gets the care he needs.

He’s come so far already. He just needs someone willing to take that next step with him. Mufasa is ready to walk by your side—he just needs a chance. 🐾🦁


I have tested heartworm positive. This means I have a parasite and need treatment. While my friends at HSNBA desperately want to help me, the shelter is too stressful an environment to undertake treatment and treatment itself is very expensive. The shelter has a few options to help with treatment, and if I steal your heart you should talk with them and your vet about what my treatment is like. For more information on heartworms, please visit the American Heartworm Society here https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basicsHSNBA lists all animals online from the moment of intake, and our listings are updated automatically every midnight. Some of these animals may not be available for adoption at this moment, but you can always call the shelter at 830-629-5287 for clarification on the adoption process or the animal's current status.
