Story
Cooper was found in a Walmart Parking Lot in Alabama with a “free puppies” sign. He is 10 months old, and was covered in fleas, ticks and had worms when I got him. He needs a big yard to play in and he loves other animals (he just wants to play) and the other animals in my household do not like him playing with them. In addition to my busy schedule, he deserves a family who has time to spend with him and to play with him. He is very loyal and has a bit of separation anxiety but he really is the bestest boy.

Story
If you've ever wanted a Husky with plenty of personality, Winter is ready to apply for the position.This beautiful 5-year-old came to H.A.L.O. when her owner was facing a move and spending too much time away at work. Winter has lived with teenagers, another dog, and even a cat, and she generally loves everyone she meets. She gets especially excited around people and other animals, which can sometimes lead to a little pulling on leash as she rushes over to make new friends.Winter is mostly housebroken and will usually ask to go outside, though if she's ignored or left alone for too long, she may leave a reminder by the door. Like many Huskies, she's also incredibly smart—and not always in ways that benefit her humans. Unlocked doors are merely suggestions, standard crates are no match for her escape skills, and if she gains access to the house while unsupervised, any reachable trash can may become a snack bar.When she's not plotting her next adventure, Winter enjoys car rides, cuddling with her people, carrying around her beloved giant teddy bear, and snuggling with her blanket. She knows sit, down, and shake, although whether she chooses to show off those skills depends entirely on her mood. And squirrels? Let's just say she considers them her sworn enemies.Winter is looking for a family that appreciates the intelligence, independence, and occasional mischief that Huskies are famous for. In return, she'll provide endless entertainment, plenty of affection, and enough personality to fill an entire house.Requirements: Martingale Collar; Escape ArtistAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home. Our adoption fee helps cover this cost.

Story
Trooper is a sweet, easygoing French Bulldog with a big heart and an even bigger love for the simple things in life. His favorite activities include going for walks, playing in short bursts of excitement, taking long cozy naps, and soaking up all the belly rubs and affection he can get. If there’s a soft spot on the couch or a sunny patch on the floor, Trooper will find it and promptly roll over to kick his feet up in pure bliss.He’s a quiet companion who rarely barks and prefers a calm, relaxed environment. Trooper can be a little cautious around new people, especially strangers and loud, energetic children, but he is never aggressive—he simply keeps his distance until he feels comfortable. The good news is that “getting comfortable” doesn’t take long for him, especially when patience and kindness are involved.Trooper’s biggest special need is that he was born incontinent, so he requires a caregiver who is understanding and attentive to his bathroom needs. Because of this, he will do best with someone who is home more often or willing to accommodate a bit of extra care throughout the day.He has been through several homes where he was deeply loved, but ultimately found his needs to be more than expected. What Trooper truly needs now is a stable, patient home that sees him for who he is—a gentle, affectionate little dog who wants nothing more than comfort, routine, and companionship.In the right home, Trooper is going to be someone’s loyal shadow, nap buddy, and quiet best friend.Requirements: Martingale Collar; Maintenance Regarding IncontinenceAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Meet Phoebe! ❤️If you’re looking for the perfect pup, Phoebe might just be your girl.This sweet 1 year old Boxer mix weighs 58 lbs and is looking for a fresh start after her family was sadly evicted and couldn’t find housing that allowed dogs.Phoebe is as gentle as they come. She comes from a home that had many young children and has always been wonderful with everyone she’s met. While she still has that fun, playful puppy side and loves her toys, her favorite thing in the world is simply being close to her people.She’s the kind of dog who’s always up for some Netflix, lazy afternoons on the couch, or snuggling up in bed. If you’re relaxing, she’s happiest right there with you.She’s also housebroken, used to free roaming the house, and is comfortable resting in her kennel when no one is home. At just a year old, she’s eager to keep learning and would fit beautifully into just about any loving home.Come meet this calm, cuddly queen. We have a feeling you’ll fall in love the moment you meet her. 🩷Requirements : Martingale CollarArrived at H.A.L.O. : 07/24/2026All of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

To new beginnings! ❤️MickeyLee is an adorable 5-month-old, all-white Pit mix with the sweetest heart-shaped nose! He was saved from a high-kill shelter in Tennessee by someone who cared enough to give him a second chance, then brought to H.A.L.O. where he could finally breathe easy and begin his new life.MickeyLee’s siblings have already found their homes, and he even spent some time in a home of his own. Unfortunately, his new dog sibling decided they’d rather be an only child, so MickeyLee is looking for his forever family again.This boy is ALL puppy! He’s playful, energetic, curious, and always ready to have some fun. He could be your one and only, or have furry or human siblings to grow up with.He’ll need a family who understands puppy energy and is willing to provide patience, consistency, and training as he learns all the how-to’s of life. In return, MickeyLee will give you a lifetime of love, loyalty, and plenty of puppy adventures. ❤️Come meet this sweet boy and help him find the forever home he’s been waiting for!Requirements : Martingale CollarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
Meet Socks—a ridiculously lovable, super-fast, cuddle-loving little athlete who is ready to find his person! 🧦❤️Our best guess is that Socks is a Whippet/Pit mix, which means he has the speed of a racehorse, the affection of a Velcro dog, and the goofy charm of both breeds. And when we say fast, we mean SO. FAST. Once those legs get moving, good luck keeping up! 😂As much as Socks loves to run and play, his favorite place is right next to his person. He is affectionate, cuddly, and happiest when he gets to be part of whatever you're doing. He patiently waits for his person to come home and is then more than ready for attention, affection, and snuggles. 🥰Socks is a total good boy who knows sit, lay down, jump, and roll over, is housebroken, and considers chew bones to be the best invention ever. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, and based on our interactions with him, we don't expect him to have any issues with respectful children, either.Socks came to us because his family wasn't able to give him the attention he needs or comfortably provide for him financially. Now, we're looking for someone who can give this sweet boy the companionship he loves so much. He'd make a fantastic adventure buddy who can run and play with you, then happily curl up beside you afterward.There is one thing Socks takes very seriously: THUNDER. ⛈️ He is not a fan of storms and may need medication during bad weather to help take the edge off.If you're looking for a dog who can run with you, learn with you, and snuggle with you, Socks might just be your guy! ❤️Fast feet. Big heart. Expert cuddler. 100% good boy. 🧦🐾Requirements: Martingale CollarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.
