Story
ABOUT BABY GIRL Baby Girl is a happy-go-lucky 2-year-old Border Collie mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for life! This goofy girl came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they ran out of space to care for her. Despite all the changes she's experienced, Baby Girl hasn't let anything dampen her spirits. She's full of energy, always ready for an adventure, and just happy to make new friends! Social as can be, Baby Girl loves people and other dogs alike! She's an affectionate, playful pup who enjoys running around the field, chasing tennis balls, and soaking up attention from her human friends. Sometimes her excitement gets the best of her, and she may jump up to greet you, but she's just eager to say hello! Baby Girl has also done well making canine friends during her time with us. She can come on a little strong when meeting other dogs, as her enthusiasm sometimes gets ahead of her manners, but she responds well when her friends let her know she needs to dial it back. With her outgoing personality and endless enthusiasm, Baby Girl is ready to bring plenty of love, laughter, and a little bit of silliness to her future family! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
ABOUT TUCKER Meet Tucker, our happy-go-lucky boy! Tucker is a 1-year-old Border Collie mix who is ready for a fresh start! He came to HAP when his owner's military schedule changed, making it difficult to meet his needs. Despite being in the shelter, Tucker has remained his happy, lovable self and has done an excellent job making new human friends! Tucker has previously lived with cats, dogs, and children! While he can be reactive when first meeting new dogs, he has done well with slow, proper introductions. He also did well living with cats, though he would prefer to be fed separately, as he wasn't a fan of his feline friends approaching him during mealtime. Tucker previously lived with a newborn baby, whom he was super loving and affectionate with! However, Tucker gets really excited to make new human friends, so we'd recommend a dog-savvy family that understands his excitement comes from a place of love. He just doesn't realize how big of a boy he is! Tucker is quite the smart cookie, too! He knows several commands, including sit, shake, lay down, stay, come, and speak. When he's not showing off his tricks, he loves to chew on a good bone or toss his toys around! This handsome guy is already crate-trained, house-trained, and walks well on a harness. He has thrived on our Doggy Day Out program, where he enjoys exploring the world with our volunteers. Tucker has so much love to give and is ready to find a family to share it with! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match!
