Story

Hi, my name is Starry. I'm a 6-year-old bully mix with a beautiful heart-shaped white face that stands out against my mainly black coat. I like to think it reflects the love I have to give. They say I'm a big love bug, and I can't argue with that—I have so much love to share with the right person or family.One of my favorite things in the world is meeting new people. I'm very sweet-natured, and I love getting scratches and pets. There's nothing better than a good ear scratch or a belly rub. It makes me feel so happy and loved.I enjoy exploring the play yard, sniffing around and taking in all the smells. It's always an adventure, and I love every minute of it. But what sets me apart from the younger pups is that I'm already past the puppy phase. I know how to relax and chill out. I'm not constantly bouncing around; I appreciate the quiet moments, too.Treats are another one of my loves. I appreciate every single one and savor them with joy. And I have the biggest, happiest smile to show how much I appreciate all the little things.If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion who's ready to share in all the love and joy you have to offer, look no further. I'm Starry, and I'm ready to bring a bit of my starry light into your life. Let's relax, explore, and enjoy all the wonderful moments together.Fill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/

Story

Mz Thang – Queen of Sass, Smiles, and SnugglesHi y’all! I’m Mz Thang, and yes—I absolutely live up to the name. I’ve got a mile-wide smile, a stunning brindle coat that shines in the sun, and a personality big enough to fill your whole house (and your heart).I’m a 3-year-old boxer mix with the energy of a pop star on tour and the snuggle game of a pro. I love kids, so if you’ve got tiny humans who need a four-legged bestie, I’m your girl. I’m also house-trained—because duh, I’m a classy lady.I came to the shelter as a stray (rude, right?), so my past is a mystery. But what I do know is that I’m sweet, social, and a total mood booster. Just one tail wag from me and you’ll forget what you were even stressed about.Now, let’s talk cats. Hard pass. I’m more “diva energy” than “coexist with fluffy furniture ninjas.” It’s nothing personal—I just know what I like.So if you’re looking for a loyal, loving, no-cats-allowed kind of gal with a heart as big as her grin, come meet Mz Thang. I’ll be the one working the room like I own the place—because one day soon, I hope I’ll own your heart.Fill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Story

Meet Benjamin – Your Future Silver-Furred RoommateHi, I’m Benjamin. Yes, like Benjamin Button—except I’m aging forward, gracefully, like a fine wine or your favorite flannel robe. I’ve got the silver muzzle, the wise eyes, and the refined vibe of someone who knows the value of a good nap and a properly fluffed pillow.I ended up at the shelter as a stray (don’t ask me how—it’s all a blur between snacks and squirrels), and while the staff here is lovely, this place is loud. I’m more of a “soft jazz and biscuits” guy than a “death metal and 47 barking puppies” kind of guy.At my age, I don’t need much—just a cozy spot, some head scratches, and maybe a few philosophical conversations about the meaning of belly rubs. I’m low-maintenance and extremely qualified for the role of “Best Couch Companion.”So if you’re into slow walks, deep sighs, and sharing your snacks with someone who won’t judge your TV choices, I’m your man. Let’s grow old together—well, older in my case, but you get it.Fill out an adoption application online at: https://www.hshcky.org/
