Story
Skye is a roughly 4 year old long-hair chihuahua mix, a sweet, affectionate snuggle bug, and a great companion. We originally took her in when we learned of another family that could no longer care for her. We are looking to rehome her because we now have a mobile toddler, and that has been putting a lot of stress on her. She would do best in a home with an adult / adults and older children (about age 7 and up). She does great with other dogs and cats, and would be an excellent fit for a home with other pets!Please note: we will have her shots up to date before rehoming.

Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. 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 animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are 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
Dog name: Mo to love (answers to Momo and Monèt) Breed: mixed breed Sex: spayed female Age: ~3 years Weight: 20lbs and needs to lose a few to be at her ideal body condition Medical Needs: none Housebroken: yes Crate trained: no, but she is kept in a separate room when she can not be supervised and does fine. Good in the car: she does need to be restrained in the car, otherwise she will try and get in your lap. She will also try and jump out the moment the door is open. Good on a leash: yes she does very well but when you're taking too long picking up her she will give you several not so subtle pulls on the leash. Energy level: medium. She loves a long walk but I would not consider her hyper or anything. Need a fenced in yard: no, leashed walks are fine. Dog Friendly: very slow introductions. She doesn't like sharing attention at first and has taken her a couple weeks to not be upset when hanging out with my crew of dogs. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? She previously lived with a cat and does not bother the strays she sees on walks. Kid Friendly: She has previously lived with children but we do not have information regarding what that environment was like. In my care she has met a toddler who won her over with too many treats. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any age with supervision, however Mo does NOT like being picked up or touched in her arm pits. She would need to be with a family where all members understand that if she's being lifted, proper "long spine dog lifts" only. She behaves as if this causes her pain but after a vet examination it's determined it's likely just her preference. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Mo to love is equal parts sweet and goofy. She wants to be your best friend after determining you're a safe person. She will waddle alongside her favorite people because she's not just loyal, she's pryish! When she gets back scratches she lifts her lip and flashes the cutest little grin. Some may say she looks deranged but her perfect family will find it charming!

Story
ABOUT KIWI & PRINCESA This bonded pair is hoping for a home together! They came to HAP when their owner was no longer able to keep them. Kiwi and Princesa have lived together their whole lives and really rely on one another for support and you'll always see them by each other's sides. Princesa is the longer tan chi lady while Kiwi is the black and white little lady! In typical little dog fashion, they are quick to bark at anything new but within seconds of a good sniff, their wiggle butts are activated and they get the cutest little zooms before they hop right up into your lap. Kiwi is the more confident one that sometimes bosses Princesa around and is the sassier sister. They've made a few doggy friends since their arrival but they can be intimidated by bigger dogs at first so we'd make sure to do a dog meet with any resident dogs to make sure everyone's getting along. The girls are also very affectionate and will scoot, roll, and burrow into your hands and lap to get as much love and cuddles they possible can. They also have the cutest little sploots when they stretch their back legs out - it's adorable! So stop by today if you're looking for two great ladies looking for a furever home! 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.
