My story

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

Name: Speckle
Age: 4 months (DOB 9/22/2025)
Breed: Lab/Husky/Cattle Dog Mix
Size: 25 pounds currently (expected 50lb+)
Special Needs: confident adopters. Speckle is going to take more work than a normal puppy to integrate into a new house.

Speckles has a story not that uncommon among many dogs in South Mississippi. She and her siblings were part of an "accidental litter" to a female that was not spayed. Her human parents loved them with all their might and tried to find them homes, but unfortunately were unsuccessful. When they came to HSSM they were scared, unsocialized puppies already 20-35 pounds at just 3.5 months. HSSM staff has been hard at work helping them overcome their "stranger danger" and socializing them with people and other dogs.
Due to Speckles' less than ideal start, she will take someone who will be patient with her as she grows and learns to trust new people. Once she warms up, though, she is an energetic puppy who loves to run and play. With a little bit of time and patience we are sure she'd grow into an amazing companion!

Speckles's $250 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. Please email transport@hssm.org for more information on transports!

--> If you are interested in adopting Speckle please fill out our online application here: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 . A staff member will reach out if your application is approved to discuss the adoption process. The adoption will not be final until the adoption contract is discussed and signed. Transports are arranged for specific dates, typically within 1-3 weeks of approving your application. Adopters will meet at a designated meeting spot to pick up their new companions. For further information, please first fill out the application referenced above.

**Due to import regulations we are not able to adopt to MA or RI residents at this time.
