Story
Hanky – Brindle Comfort in a 51-Pound Package 🐾 5 years old, Boxer mix, Neutered Male "Looking for a dog who’s the definition of chill? Meet Hanky." Hanky is the ultimate low-energy companion, friendly, sweet, and full of wiggly joy whenever you give him love. He’s happiest lounging by your side, quietly soaking up affection, and using his favorite stuffed toy as a pillow. While Hanky mostly keeps a relaxed pace, every now and then he might surprise you with a tiny burst of playful energy, enough to make you chuckle, but never demanding the spotlight. Hanky has lived with cats, small dogs, and even free-range chickens and ducks. He’s grown up around children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and has proven himself to be a patient, steady presence in every situation. At the shelter, he’s also been a “helper dog,” calmly supporting and modeling positive behavior for other pups. His easygoing nature makes him a joy in public settings, greeting new people warmly without overwhelming them. Hanky’s Highlights: ✔️ 5-year-old Boxer mix, 51 lbs ✔️ Neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated ✔️ Extremely low-energy, friendly, and treat-motivated ✔️ Wiggly and affectionate when receiving attention ✔️ Previously lived with cats, dogs, farm animals, and kids of all ages. Slow, supervised introductions are recommended to ensure a smooth transition. ✔️ Calm leash walker ✔️ Loves stuffed toys, especially for napping Some dogs make a house feel like home the moment they walk in. Hanky is one of those dogs. Come meet Hanky at the Caroline County Humane Society. 407 W. Belle Street, Ridgely, MD 21660 (410) 820-1600 www.carolinehumane.org adoptions@carolinehumane.org

Story
ABOUT ZEUS Zeus came to HAP in July after his owner passed away. At 7 years old, adjusting to shelter life after living in a loving home has been difficult for him. Shortly after his arrival, Zeus began experiencing concerning symptoms, including vomiting, loss of appetite, and bloody stool. He was referred to Wilmington Animal Hospital for further evaluation and advanced testing. An ultrasound revealed a mass on his spleen, meaning Zeus will need a splenectomy to ensure he can live a happy, pain-free life. Zeus’s best chance at recovery is in a calm, home environment. While temporary fostering is an option, returning to the shelter after surgery would likely cause him to decline mentally. For this reason, a foster-to-adopt home is truly the best path forward for him! In foster-to-adopt, HAP covers the cost of his care and provides the supplies he may need! Zeus is a laid-back, low-key senior pup who enjoys chewing on bones, soaking up attention, and going for short walks. He is friendly with new people, easily won over by treats, and very affectionate. He enjoys long car rides, showing off his tricks, and melting into his friends for love! Given his age and size, Zeus is a low-maintenance companion who spends most of his day lounging or napping. He’s also comfortable being left alone and is not destructive when unsupervised. Zeus is already house-trained, walks well with a harness, and knows basic commands. Due to Zeus’s condition and behavior around other animals, we are requiring that he be the only pet in a home, so he can recover stress-free! 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.
