Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hey there, I’m Dalilah! I’m a 64-pound Boxer mix, professional squirrel chaser, and part-time nap enthusiast. My puppies have all been adopted (you’re welcome, world), and now it’s my turn for a forever home! ✨ When I’m not running off squirrels and bunnies like the neighborhood security guard ️, I’m usually lounging around looking adorable. I’m fully potty trained — zero accidents, 100% good girl. ✅ I love walks, tennis balls, and kids (especially the ones with snacks). I might borrow a stuffed animal or two… purely for emotional support, of course. Cats? Hard pass. They look suspiciously like bunnies, and I take my duties seriously. Car rides aren’t my fave — I prefer a cozy crate where I can grumble quietly about the traffic. Oh, and fun fact: I’m a surprisingly good swimmer! ‍♀️ (Baywatch who?) I get along with most dogs and promise to bring love, laughter, and a little chaos to your life — in the best way possible. So come on — take a chance on your new favorite girl! Apply at projecthopearf.org before I chase my next squirrel! Born 10/6/2022  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 16, 2026, 8:17 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lacy is one of our newest arrivals and this sweet little 3-year-old Chihuahua mix made her way to us all the way from Arkansas. She can be a little hesitant at first, but if you take things slow and let her come to you on her own terms, she warms up quickly and shows her sweet personality. Lacy prefers not to be picked up, but once she trusts you, she is happy to curl up in your lap for cuddles — as long as she’s the one making the first move. Her foster also discovered that Lacy willingly jumped right into the car, so we think it’s safe to say she may enjoy car rides too! Lacy is settling in nicely and learning that life can be full of kindness, comfort, and love. We can’t wait to watch this little girl continue to blossom. apply at projecthopearf.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 16, 2026, 8:17 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Octavia is a beautiful 3-month-old Australian Shepherd mix with the softest red coat you've ever seen. This little girl has been very shy in her kennel and isn't quite sure what to think about all the attention she's receiving. She may be vocal while you're approaching her kennel, but the moment the door opens, she quiets right down and happily accepts affection. It's clear that Octavia is still learning that people can be kind and trustworthy. With patience, love, and a family willing to let her blossom at her own pace, we know this gorgeous girl is going to shine.

When you first meet him, he can seem a little shy and timid, but don't let that fool you! He is more than happy to accept pets, cuddles, and gentle affection. The really fun part happens when his paws hit the ground—he instantly transforms into playful, happy puppy who loves to run, romp, and frolic. He has a wonderful temperament and is already showing what loving companion he will become.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I'm Apple Pie! I'm 7 months old, and lately I've been wondering... when will it be my turn? My mom found a home. All of my siblings found homes. One by one, I've watched them leave for their happily-ever-afters while I continue to wait. Don't get me wrong—everyone here is so nice to me. The volunteers tell me what a good boy I am, give me belly rubs, and shower me with love. But what I really want is a family of my very own. With my soft fur, squishy little face, and sweet personality, I'm pretty hard to resist. At least that's what everyone tells me! I'm not just cute—I'm smart, too. I've been working hard on my manners and learning commands like sit, stay, and come. On walks, I'm very well behaved and love exploring the world with my people. I'm also a wonderful house guest. I don't make messes, I don't destroy things, and I'm happiest when I'm spending time with the people I love. I enjoy playing, romping around, and carrying a bone proudly through the house like it's my most prized possession. One of my favorite things in the whole world is snuggling. If you'll let me, I'll happily curl up next to you and soak up all the cuddles I can get. I love people of all ages, I enjoy other dogs, and I have so much love left to give. Sometimes I wonder why I've been overlooked. Maybe my family just hasn't found me yet. Could that family be yours? I've been waiting patiently, being the best boy I can be. Now all I need is someone to take a chance on me and show me what forever feels like.
