My story

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

Meet Hamsterdam! 🐾

This sweet, lovable hound is thriving in foster care and showing everyone just how good of a boy he is. Hamsterdam’s true hound personality is shining through — calm, gentle, a little goofy, and full of charm.

In his foster home, Hamsterdam lives peacefully with a 5-year-old child, multiple dogs, and cats, and he’s been nothing but respectful, polite, and easygoing with everyone. He’s quiet in the house, has had no accidents, and settles happily into his crate, which he’s learned is his safe, cozy space.
Hamsterdam is a fast learner who’s eager to please. While he could use a bit of continued training to fine-tune his skills, he picks things up quickly and makes training a fun team effort. Indoors, he’s calm and content; outdoors, he enjoys just the right amount of playful hound energy.

Like many hounds, Hamsterdam would love a home with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can run, sniff, zoom, and enjoy his hound-style adventures. He’s the kind of dog who fits right in, steals hearts effortlessly, and makes an excellent housemate.
With his big heart, gentle nature, and classic hound flair, Hamsterdam is ready to find his forever home and become someone’s very best friend. 💙

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask potential adopters to fill out a matchmaker form. When they are ready to adopt an animal and the form and interview process indicates a good match, we have the adopter sign an adoption contract promising that the animal will receive good physical and emotional care. Fees vary and we often have adoption specials. Fees for senior pets are sponsored. Otherwise, dogs are $100, puppies $150 and up, cats are $75, kittens are $95.
