Story
Our sweet girl Miss Red has made her way back to us. While it didn’t work out with her previous home, it was through no fault of her own or her owners. We`ve now learned that she truly needs to be the only pet in the household, and that`s okay — she deserves to be someone’s one and only. Miss Red is a 7 year old Redbone coonhound mix who is incredibly smart, playful, and athletic. She is patient during grooming, including baths and nail trims and is a sunbathing queen who loves to stretch out in the grass. She is fantastic on a leash and loves a good walk, but she is also a total snuggle bug on the couch. She’s a classic hound, so we’re ideally looking for someone with hound experience. She’s got a few habits we’re working on — like counter surfing and garbage picking — but she’s super responsive to training.

Story
Hi, my name is Zhara! I am a transfer here. I spent over a year at the last facility before moving here in hopes of finding my forever home. I love attention and might love treats even more. I do have to be the only fur baby in your heart, though. While I love people, I am not a fan of other furry friends. I also require someone willing and able to work on my leash training (I don`t quite know how strong I am :) ). If you are interested, or have any questions, please reach out to my friends here at PHS!

Story
Apollo is a 9 year old certified good boy, with a heart full of love and a need for rolling around in the grass. He is a lab mix, and he sure acts like one! Need a walking buddy? Apollo is the best on a leash! Want a tanning partner? He`s got you covered! Apollo is dog selective, and would thrive in a home with no small children.

Story
Hi, my name is Duke! I have been a resident here for quite some time. I was sick for a bit, but I am back and better than ever! I have been cooped up for so long, but I am a young guy with a lot of energy to burn. I am looking for someone to be my lifelong playmate and best friend (and a little secret... butt scratches will make this happen instantly). If you are interested, please contact my friends here at PHS!
