Story
Fresa is the sweetest and most loving dog I’ve ever had. She’s been my world for the last 5 years. Shes housebroken. She loves to go on walks, she’s a cuddler as well. I can no longer have my sweet girl because I’ve had to move in with family and because I am a new father and we have cats it’s extremely difficult for us to train her with the cats. She can be very good around other dogs as we’ve raised our chihuahua mix cookie around her since she was a puppy. I would love to find my girl a nice home for her golden years. She is good with one dog and a cat she doesn’t do well with lots of animals.

Story
This friend has just arrived to us as a stray. When animals are found as strays, our staff will search for an owner. If no one comes to reclaim the pet, we will begin looking for a new home. Unfortunately, we rarely have a background on stray animals. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with other animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we are often unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. 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 ZEUS Zeus came to HAP after his owner passed away. At 7 years old, adjusting to shelter life after living in a loving home has been challenging for him. However, once he realized we all think he’s the cutest guy, he started to warm up to the place! Zeus has become a bit of a celebrity around HAP. Our animal caretakers often take him on walks through the building, where he happily stops to greet all his human friends. In true bully breed fashion, he can be a little stubborn, he now insists on visiting his friends after his outdoor walks. What can we say? The love has become an essential part of his routine! When he’s not soaking up attention, Zeus is a laid-back, easygoing senior pup who enjoys chewing on bones and going for short, leisurely 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! 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.

Story
ABOUT AJ Grab the tissues and fall in love. In 2025, a beautiful pregnant mama was abandoned on our property. Less than a week later, she gave birth to a litter of eight pups, so you can probably see where this is going. Adorable AJ was born safely in foster care, surrounded by love from the very beginning. As he grew, AJ faced his first big challenge. His foster noticed symptoms of parvovirus, a serious and often fatal illness. He was rushed in for emergency treatment, and thankfully, AJ pulled through like the little fighter he is. After recovering, AJ was adopted as a puppy, but his journey wasn’t over yet. As he got older, his adopters began to notice ongoing food sensitivities that went beyond the occasional upset stomach. Wanting what was best for him, they made the difficult decision to return him to the shelter when they realized they couldn’t meet his medical needs. Since then, AJ has undergone extensive testing and has been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). Thankfully, IBD is easily managed with a restrictive diet, so no table scraps for this guy! While AJ lost some weight in his previous home, due to IBD, he is now on a weight gain journey and making amazing progress! Despite all he has been through in this first year of life, AJ is a resilient, loving boy. AJ is a playful, joyful pup who brings a perfect mix of energy and affection wherever he goes. He walks beautifully on leash, even without a harness, and naturally sticks close by your side, making him a wonderful companion for strolls and everyday adventures. Anytime he is spooked or unsure, all it takes is a gentle crouch or a kind word, and he’ll come right over for reassurance, soaking up comfort from his person. AJ is bouncy, silly, and endlessly sweet, with a personality that’s hard not to fall for. He’s highly treat-motivated, which makes him eager to learn and a great candidate for continued training. While he hasn’t had the chance to fully play with other dogs yet, he’s shown friendly interest when passing them and has previously lived with dogs, suggesting he could do well with a canine companion! 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!

Story
Luna is a spunky, energetic 6 year old pittie/staffie/boxer mix that loves to cuddle under warm blankets, fetch balls, take long walks, and could tug all day without getting tired. She enjoys car rides, hikes, and trampolines and will even cry when she sees one because she wants to play on it so bad. She is eager to please, and food motivated so could definitely learn new tricks. Luna has been with me all her life, she is the dog you get in your twenties that changes your life for the better and she has done that for me but life happens and families grow and unfortunately Luna requires a household with no other pets or small children. She would thrive with an experienced owner that can handle her unique behaviors and reactivity. Please give this beautiful girl a chance
