My story

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

Introducing Black Beard: Your Tiny Holiday Treasure

He’s a bite-sized pirate with a heart of gold and a nose for snacks—and this season, he’s trading his ship for a sleigh and his sword for a candy cane. Whether you’re roasting chestnuts or passing the gravy, Black Beard is ready to be your co-pilot in cozy chaos.

At just 6 months old and 17 lbs, this festive fuzzball is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped—which means he’s officially licensed to steal your heart, your blanket, and your Christmas cookie. He’s great with dogs, cats, kids, and probably reindeer. We haven’t tested that last one, but he’s got strong North Pole energy.

Black Beard is joy in a jingle bell:
Zoomies through wrapping paper? Yes.
Turkey taste-testing? He volunteers.
Snuggles so good they should be gift-wrapped? Absolutely.

He’s got the energy of a sugar-plum sprite, the charm of a holiday rom-com lead, and the snuggle skills of a seasoned couch elf. If you’re not laughing, he’ll fix that. If you’re not paying attention, he’ll climb you. If you’re not handing over the treats, he’ll stage a one-dog caroling protest until you do.

Sweet enough to make your dentist nervous and cute enough to cause spontaneous squealing in public. Side effects may include:
Uncontrollable giggles
Vanishing socks
Being lovingly bossed around by a ten-pound pirate in a Santa hat

He’s currently sailing the gravy boat in search of his forever crew. Blackbeard is fostered in Suffolk County, NY. If you live in NY, NJ, CT, PA, ME, VT, VA, DE, MD, DC, RI, or NH—Mrs. Claus says you’re eligible to be boarded. And Black Beard is ready to lead the charge with a wagging tail and a festive squeak toy.

Healthy, happy, and ready to take over your life. He’ll be the captain of your couch, the ruler of your snack stash, and the reason your camera roll is 98 percent dog photos. You’ve been warned.

Additional adoption info

Our mission is to find the best possible homes for the animals in our care. Many of them have been through severe hardship, mistreatment or neglect, and that makes it even more important that we do our best for them. This means that we have to have guidelines because not every adopter is right for every animal. We try to do right by every person who comes our way looking for a new family pet. But sometimes we have to say “no” to a potential adopter. Our animals do not have a say in where they go; since we speak for those who have no voice, we must do it well. Our rejection of an adoption application is no reflection on the adopter. Everyone who wants to adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue group is special because they open their homes to those in need. But, while we try to meet the needs of everyone, our clients are the animals. They have no one else. We appreciate your understanding.

More about this rescue

The mission of Hounds in Pounds (HIP), is to end the daily killing of thousands of adoptable dogs in the United States. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in New Jersey and Georgia and we rely 100% on donations.

HIP has a multi-faceted approach to achieving our mission, combining rescue, adoption, spay/neuter outreach and public education. Dogs rescued by Hounds in Pounds are transported to private veterinarians for proper medical treatment, where they are vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and tested for heartworm before being placed into new, loving homes. We work as a team, communicating from sunrise to sundown to manage the many moving pieces that make our work successful.

Each dog we pull to safety is a member of our family and is treated with the utmost love and respect. We are a lifeline for thousands of dogs that otherwise wouldn’t stand a chance. Many of the dogs we rescue are cases that no one else will take, as our motto at HIP is to “never say never”. To be clear, we are working for them. These dogs are our heroes, and we look to them for hope, inspiration and sometimes the strength to keep going. We also consider our followers, donors, adopters, rescue partners and the rescue community a direct extension of our team. Without each of these moving parts, Hounds in Pounds wouldn’t be able to do what we do.

As one can imagine, the costs associated with running an operation of this magnitude are extraordinary. We fulfill our mission by collaborating with local shelters, veterinarians, boarding facilities, transporters, and local businesses, and through the generosity of donors and supporters. It is thanks to our dedicated volunteers and the benevolent donations of our HIP family of supporters that any of this is possible.
