Story
Meet Trudy! I am full of life and energy. Pointers are known for their wonderful use of their nose to find birds and prey. I love to use my nose so games of hiding food or scented objects would be great fun. I am learning some basic skills to start obedience training and already know how to sit. Having an experienced owner that understands my breed would best. Stop in soon to meet me. I am micro chipped just like all my HPC friends.

Meet Zip! I am an athletic boy that loves exercise and attention from people. If you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, then I am your guy! I enjoy time spent with my people and love to curl up next to you after I have a good run for some quiet time. A good deep massage is just so relaxing with my people. Stop in soon to meet me. I am micro chipped.

Story
Meet Hudson! I am a handsome boy with my blue merle coat. Catahoula Leopard dogs are know for their adaptability, they can be a herding dog, hunting dog or baying dog. All of which require them to use their mind and exercise their body. I am smart and I am working on adding more obedience skills. Ask my staff to show you what I am learning. I do like to get the zoomies so I will need a place I can exercise. Stop in soon to meet me. I am micro chipped just like all my HPC friends.

Story
Meet Lindie! Do you enjoy curling up on the couch with a good book? If the answer is yes, I’m your gal. I’m shy but not fearful. Go quietly slow and you will find that I have crawled into your lap for a little cuddle. You will not hear a peep out of me. A leisurely walk is all the exercise I will need. There is a special adoption fee. My staff will fill you in. There must be something very special about me. My adoption fee will assist in the care of others at the HPC.***I have been microchipped.

Story
Meet Lucas! I’m a high energy fellow and very smart! Balls are wonderful! When I play ball switch, I catch it with my paws, then toss it in the air and dramatically chase it around on my belly, returning it for another toss. I would love to have a job. Busy dogs can get into trouble if their minds aren’t well exercised. I would not be a good choice for apartment living, or a couch potato life. An active life style and an experienced owner would be my definition of the perfect life. I weigh 38 pounds but may grow and fill out as I mature.**I am microchipped.

Story
Meet Que! I am smart as a whip and quick like one too. I would love to have a home where I get to work or have regular training to work my brain. Cattle dogs are known for their high intelligence and working ability and I love to show mine off. Huskies are known for their high energy and love for exercise. I am a great combo of both breeds. I am still just a pup so it`s a great time to start my training. Are you ready for all the fun I could bring to a family? I am micro chipped.
