Story
Milo is an amazing, needy, and somewhat of a hyper dog. I’d say one of his only flaws is that he’s very hesitant at warming up at first and is always in fight or flight mode. After he warms up to people he’s such a loving and outgoing dog. He’s a good guard dog, soon as he hears the door open or strangers he starts going into security mode. I have unfortunately neglected him for so long and know if I love him I need to find him a better home as he is almost 8. My mental health issues have increased and it breaks me to see him in a cage and neglected, he’s deserving of so much more than I’ve been able to give him these past years. Milo will fulfill any home he gets the pleasure of going into. He is an amazing dog that truly just wants attention and needs extensive care that I can’t financially provide for him currently. You will not regret getting Milo, he just needs time to warm up to really, anyone! He’s very much like a human! He loves very hard. Please help me rehome him soon.

Story
Meet Bravo! 🐾❤️Bravo and his three brothers have quite a story. These four littermates were rescued from a boat and ended up at a nearby county shelter. Their shyness and lack of socialization made them difficult candidates for adoption, putting them at risk of euthanasia. Recognizing that these boys might flourish with more time and individualized attention, we brought all four into our care to give them another chance. They're now safe in a loving foster home, where they're slowly learning to trust and build confidence. But while they've found comfort in one another, it's becoming clear that the best way for each of these boys to truly thrive is to find a home of his own, where he can build confidence and blossom independently of his brothers.Bravo earned his name because he was the bravest of the four, the first to approach his foster parents! While he's still shy and hesitant about attention, he's making wonderful progress. He sometimes allows his foster parents to pet him, cautiously sniffs their fingers, and is the first of his brothers to accept treats directly from their hands.Bravo is a gentle soul who has shown remarkable patience with senior and special-needs dogs. He calmly allows them to approach and interact with him, even when he doesn't quite understand their behavior. He's never shown aggression, just shyness and uncertainty around people.At night, Bravo sometimes ventures onto his foster parents' bed, although he still prefers the comfort of sleeping alongside his brothers. He's a healthy, handsome boy with a beautiful tan coat and a slightly taller build than your typical Chihuahua, suggesting he may be mixed with another breed.What Bravo needs most is a patient, loving home where he can continue building his confidence. He's made tremendous strides in foster care, but he still has a long way to go. We believe that separating from his littermates will help him become more independent, bond with his people, and discover just how wonderful life can be.Bravo is neutered and could do well with other friendly dogs, as long as they're not his littermates. He might also thrive as an only dog, soaking up all the love and attention for himself!Interestingly, a fifth littermate who also lived on the boat was much more social and has already been adopted. Now it's Bravo's turn to find his happy ending.Bravo has already been given a second chance at life. Now he needs someone willing to give him the time, patience, and love to make the most of it. ❤️ Primary Color: Tan Weight: 16.3 Age: 1yrs 2mths 0wks

Story
Winston is a beautiful 2ish year old lab mix with the most loving eyes. He has only been with us a short time, but he's already a staff and volunteer favorite. He's shy and timid (being in a shelter is scary) but he's very sweet. He has done well when introduced to other dogs and to a large group of volunteers. He's also done well on walks, though he needs some training with loose leash walking. He's gentle and seems to enjoy toys and socializing with other dogs, and he's a polite greeter with new dog friends. We look forward to seeing his true personality shine when he lets his guard down in a loving home.We start all dog adoptions with a scheduled, relaxed meet-and-greet with the whole family (incuding family dogs) to check initial fit, followed by a two-week foster to make sure the dog settles in well at home. You will really get to know Winston - or any of our great dogs - before committing. If you're interested in meeting Winston, submit an application here: https://www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-application/We look forward to hearing from you!

NOTE:Submit the adoption interest application directly at our HSNB website!https://www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-applicationWe may not receive anything submitted through PetFinder or Adopt-A-Pet! If you do not receive confirmation from us, email adoptions@hsnb.org . -----Meet Clarice - a happy, energetic little sweetheart who's ready to trade her kennel for a couch! 🐾❤️Clarice absolutely adores people and would love a home where she can soak up attention, go on adventures, and finally get the enrichment she deserves. She also loves other dogs and is always hoping they'll join in a game with her. Her limited interactions with cats have also been positive.As for her breed...your guess is as good as ours! 😂 She probably has some Chihuahua in her, but after that it's anyone's guess. With her adorable blocky head, she could have a little Pocket Pit, Frenchie, Pug...or maybe she's just 100% one-of-a-kind. Whatever the mix, she's absolutely precious.Clarice was born with diabetes insipidus, a rare condition that is very different from the more common diabetes mellitus. It simply means her body has trouble regulating water balance. The good news is that it's very easy to manage with inexpensive daily medication, which she takes like a champ. Thanks to her medication, she lives a happy, normal, active life, and we'll even send her adopter home with several months' worth of medication to get her started.Life in a shelter is especially hard on an active, social girl like Clarice. She spends her days watching the world go by from her kennel, hoping someone will stop to give her a little love and attention. What she really needs is a home where she can stretch out on the couch, play, explore, and be part of a family.Could you open your heart and home to this very special girl?
