Story
Our sweet man Orion is still holding out hope that he will find his forever family soon! Orion came to HSNWIA as a stray, so we don't know a ton about him. We do know that he is a very loving boy who is eager to learn and love on his new family! He is definitely a young boy who needs some ground rules, so being willing to do that is a must! Get your application in to meet this wonderful boy! Orion is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in Orion, please submit an application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Story
Say hello to our sweet girl Charli! Charli and Chase were dumped at our facility 10 hours before anyone was set to be back at the shelter. They had very bad skin and severe eye issues that needed to be resolved with surgery. Charli is a very sweet girl who wants someone to love her! She keeps a fairly clean kennel here at the shelter. We think that Charli is young, we are guessing between one and two years old. Don't let this sweet girl pass you by! Charli is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed. If you are interested in Charli, please submit an application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Story
Meet our snuggly boy Dixon! Dixon was returned to us after 3 years due to his owner going to prison. This handsome man hasn't been dealt the best cards, but thanks to a caring individual who cared for him while his owner was initially incarcerated, his luck is looking up! Dixon is around five years old. He is a very sweet boy who loves to bring his emotional support blanket with him anywhere he can! Dixon can be nervous around new situations, so he needs someone who is willing to make sure he is comfortable and be understanding. This boy is a rarity and deserves a family that will treat him as such! If you are interested in Dixon, please fill out an application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Check out our handsome man Chester! Chester is an approximately three-year-old labrador retriever/rottweiler cross. He is just the SWEETEST man!

Story
Take a look at our very handsome man Thor! Thor came in from a partner shelter as he wasn't getting a ton of interest, which just baffles us! Thor is a very sweet man who LOVES to play! He is a great pup that loves other dogs and doesn't mind cats either! He is a very smart boy and loves to show off his skills to anyone that will watch! This wonderful boy does have some past trauma, as he was adopted and brought back to this partner shelter a few times, each time due to no fault of his own. Thor has been let down by humans, so it is our turn to show him how great life really can be! Thor is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in this wonderful man, please submit an application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com. *Side note: a huge shout-out goes to Thor's originating shelter, you worked hard for this little life, now it is our turn!
