My story

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

Dax is a big-ol 92lb gentle giant. He is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix who recently came into our care in December as a stray. The Pyrenees breed make great family dogs, as well as livestock guardians. They are unique in their calm nature and double dewclaws on their back feet. Dax is very kid friendly, and also likes other dogs but does prefer to be an independent bean. He has long double-coat fur which does need consistent grooming in summer months due to the heat. He is heartworm positive by no fault of his own, but don`t let that turn you away as our HSSM Wellness Clinic does discount the treatment for adopters. Dax would be the perfect loyal family dog if given the chance. His adoption fee is sponsored and he will be neutered upon adoption. Will you give him a chance today?

Additional adoption info

HSSM is home to over 300 pets on any given day, most of which are looking for new forever homes! Your new best friend could be waiting at HSSM right now. Our beautiful, 41,000 square foot facility is currently open to the public. HSSM is open for adoptions Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. No appointment is necessary to adopt, however, adoptions are first-come, first served. You must come to HSSM to complete your adoption and make sure you bring a photo ID, as it is required to complete adoption paperwork.
Our adoptable animals page is self-updating and displays ALL of HSSM’s adorable adoptable pets from “pocket pets” to birds and of course the hundreds of dogs and cats currently calling HSSM home! See one you like? Make sure you note your favorite’s name and animal ID number so that HSSM staff and volunteers can easily find him/her when you come in!
Adoptions are cut off every day about 30 minutes prior to closing and possibly earlier if volume is high. Weekends are busy and you may have to wait more than an hour (especially in the afternoons) so please be prepared.
