Story
Luna is a loveable, two year old giant! We have had her since she was a goofy 6 month old giant! She is very smart and a wonderful protector of kids and her home. Luna loves to run and is quite the site when she does! We have two small children that she adores and and older one that she loves to run with! Unfortunately, due to unexpected circumstances, we don't have the proper time for her anymore and this beautiful girl deserves so much more. Lunas manners are wonderful and she listens very well. She will let you know how much you are loved with snuggles! We will provide her favorite toys and bed as well as her food/ special water bowl! She will need some time to adjust of course but she is well worth it with the time and patience.

Story
Meet Sunshine, a 4 year old resilient and loving canine who has triumphed over adversity to find her place in the world. Born in 2019, her life began in unfortunate circumstances when she was callously abandoned as a puppy by a curb, confined within a cold and lonely cage in Chicago, IL. Fortunately, fate intervened, and Sunshine's life took a turn for the better when she was rescued by our compassionate organization. Sunshine's journey to find a forever home started when she was adopted as a puppy from our rescue. With her endearing personality and captivating charm, she quickly captured the hearts of her new family. However, life took an unexpected turn once again when she was abruptly taken to a local animal shelter. Undeterred by these setbacks, Sunshine's indomitable spirit shone through, and she was given a second chance at a loving home when she was rescued for the second time by the very organization that had initially saved her. This courageous pup had endured the rollercoaster of emotions, but her trust in humans remained intact, ready to give and receive love once more. Sunshine's gentle nature is apparent from the moment you meet her. Though initially a bit shy, her heart overflows with kindness and affection. She longs for a home where she can be the center of attention, basking in the warmth of a loving family. Sunshine's experiences have instilled in her a desire to be the sole canine companion, making her the perfect companion for someone seeking an intimate bond. While Sunshine appreciates the company of humans, she particularly adores the presence of children aged eight and above. Her patient and gentle demeanor make her an ideal playmate for kids, creating an environment filled with laughter and joy. Sunshine is a shining example of resilience, proving that a troubled past does not define one's future. As Sunshine embarks on the next chapter of her life, she carries with her the strength and grace she has acquired along the way. This lovable and spirited dog is ready to bring sunshine into the lives of those fortunate enough to welcome her into their home. Are you ready to give Sunshine the love and happiness she deserves? Prepare to be showered with unconditional love and loyalty from this remarkable four-legged friend 💥Apply at: HAH Adoption Application 💥Follow us on Facebook: HAH Facebook

Story
Meet Donnie... This 2 ½ year old Great Dane mix is half pony, half pup, and all smiles! Sweet and playful, Donnie loves his humans. He lives with two kids that he adores - but due to his size, would do best with children over the age of 10. At 85 pounds his playstyle would best be described as bouncy with a bit of clumsiness mixed in. If you love fine china and knick-knacks this is not the dog for you. Outside the home, Donnie can be a little shy when meeting new people. Throw him a few treats, however, and he'll be your new best friend. As for dogs - Donnie loves pups that are easy going, playful, and can keep up with his bouncy style. He wants nothing to do, however, with pups that are pushy or bossy and will avoid them at all cost. As for cats - he LOVES them! Crate trained, house broken, and knows all of his basic commands... this gentle giant has so much to offer. If you think that he may be a great fit for your family please fill out an application and set up your private meet and greet today. 💥Apply at: HAH Adoption Application 💥Follow us on Facebook: HAH Facebook
