Story
Meet Harry 🐾💙 Harry is a handsome 3-year-old Yorkie who’s ready to find his forever home! Fresh from a spa day and looking extra dapper, this precious 13-pound boy is all about love and affection. Harry adores being held and will happily soak up all the cuddles you’re willing to give. He’s dog-friendly but would do best in an adults-only home, as children tend to make him a bit nervous. He would love to be the center of someone’s world — especially a home where someone is around more often than not. While he doesn’t have separation anxiety, he does let out a soft little whine when left alone. If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted little companion to shower with love, Harry is waiting to meet you. 💕

Story
Dolly (approximately 51 pounds) was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in South Carolina. This active lady is fun & super sweet - she does everything at top speed, including giving kisses to her human friends. She LOVES other dogs and was a huge favorite in the doggie play groups at her previous shelter due to her confident & happy play style. When not zooming around at top speed, Dolly also happens to be a cuddler who enjoys getting snuggles. She walks great on leash, is always happy to eat snack treats, and brings joy wherever she goes with her goofy hound-like behavior. Dolly is a fun young lady who cannot wait to find out what it's like to be part of a loving family. She'll bring all the snuggles if you've got the home for her!If you'd like to give Dolly the home of her dreams, please stop by the Adoption Center's OPEN HOURS EVERY DAY EXCEPT WEDNESDAY from 11am to 4pm, or contact the NHSPCA at info@nhspca.org Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 34 Age: 1yrs 11mths 3wks

Meet Dolce 💕🐾 Dolce is a beautiful girl born on 11/3 and she’s ready to find her forever home! Currently 23 pounds, she’s the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet, snuggly companion. Like any happy pup, Dolce loves to romp and stomp — but she also has a calm side and adores being cuddled. She absolutely LOVES other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine sibling or kids to grow up with. She’s truly a lover of all people and just wants a family to call her own. Dolce is crate trained and nearly housebroken, making her well on her way to being the perfect addition to your home. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playtime, and lots of snuggles, Dolce is waiting to meet you! 🐶✨ **Will be ready to meet with starting Tuesday 2/24 after 3pm**

Story
Meet Charlotte 🌸🐾 Charlotte is a beautiful 1.5-year-old Bahamian Potcake with a gentle soul and so much love to give. She joined us from Nassau, Bahamas, where she was found skin and bones and heartworm positive. After completing treatment, this brave girl is now healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home. Weighing just 38 pounds (she may look bigger in photos!), Charlotte is incredibly loving and loyal. She does wonderfully with other dogs and cats and has been fostered successfully with both. She is also housebroken and would love a fenced-in yard where she can safely explore and build her confidence. Charlotte can be a little scared at first and will need a patient, understanding family willing to give her a few days to adjust. She might spend her first days tucked under the dining room table, but once she feels safe, she truly blossoms into the sweetest, most devoted companion. All Charlotte needs is a chance — and a loving home to show her just how good life can be. 💕 **Will be ready to meet with starting Tuesday 2/24 after 3pm**
