My story

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

Blanche is a super sweet, gentle girl who is currently living in one of our amazing foster homes!!

Here is a note from her foster:
`Blanche is an 8 yo pit/lab mix that came to me as a foster 2 weeks ago. She is a delightful, sweet and tender girl that loves affection and relaxing strokes. She`s a bit shy initially but really blossoms when we go out exploring outside or in the woods...nose to the ground constantly sniffing and totally fascinated by everything going on around her. Her energy and curiosity belie her age. As she isn`t a very confident girl, she needs exposure to new things in a calm manner. She sleeps soundly through the night and does well on her own, gated in a bedroom, when I`m away from the house. She enjoys interactive play with me and chewing on her Nylabone or discovering treats in her Kong. She isn`t a morning eater and isn`t one to overeat. She gets tasty soft chews when we`re working on some commands like `come` or `quiet`. We`re still working on her loose leash walking skills but she is making so much progress!! She really loves the freedom she gets on the 25` long line when we`re exploring. This beautiful soul is hoping for a forever home in the near future. She brings joy to those around her everyday and can`t wait to snuggle with you!”

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)
