Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.She is Xena The Warrior PrincessXena was born approximately July 15, 2021.  She is a GORGEOUS Border Collie/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix or Tri-Colored Rhodesian Ridgeback.  Her personality is true to her breed! Xena's foster mom and dad have 3 other dogs that she likes to play with and share toys with, but she has also learned to be by herself.  Her foster mom says she needs an active family with another dog or multiple dogs. Xena needs room to run to get her energy out.  She likes going for long walks and exploring the wilderness. Xena sleeps with her foster mom and dad in bed with all the other dogs. It gets a bit crowded but she does love sleeping with the pack. This makes her feel safe. Xena does not like to be in a kennel or crate.  So, a family that is at home would be ideal.She likes eating ice cubes!  Xena says 'When mom gives me fresh water in a bowl she puts in extra ice cubes for me. That makes me feel special and loved.'  Xena loves riding in a vehicle and knows not to jump around and act like a baby.She can walk on a leash pretty well as long as she has her harness on; Xena is not a fan of collars. She also knows a few commands like “stay”, “no” and “potty”.Xena will bark at strangers until she gets to know them.  Her foster dad has taught her to fetch.  She loves chasing the ball and bringing it back, it’s the letting it go part that she has a hard time with BECAUSE she also loves to play tug of war.  Xena is also a fan of the Laser Light.  She thinks they are fascinating!Xena is Special Needs because if and when she gets too excited she has seizures.  The vet attributes this to a blow to the head as a puppy.  Therefore, she needs to be in a home that understands how to deal with occasional seizures.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 12, 2026, 7:32 pm

Story
Why spend a weekend with Bernie when you could spend a lifetime? At 7 years old, Bernie is the kind of dog you can trust around the house. He’s calm, housebroken, walks beautifully on leash, and loves getting out for strolls. After which he’s more than happy to settle in and relax by your side. He isn’t destructive when left alone and carries himself like a seasoned gentleman who already knows the rules. Bernie does, however, suffer from "FOMO", Fear of Missing Out. Despite being partially blind, Bernie doesn't want to be left in the background! If there's fun, he wants to be involved. If there's drama, he wants to be involved. He'd gladly join the neighborhood watch, attend cookouts, own a police scanner, and commit to a Days of Our Lives marathon. As for being partially blind? Bernie struggles with dry eyes that will need continued care, including lubricants and cleansing. But don't stress! GIHS medical staff will walk you through the ins and outs of Bernie's eye care and overall health.

Story
Introducing Mama Hope... A mama who has known breeds far more than love. We pulled Hope during our shelter pull, and from the moment we saw her, we knew she deserved a chance. Her kennel sat right beside the small yards where we were temp testing dogs all day. Through all the chaos, all the barking, all the dogs coming and going…Hope never reacted once. She simply watched, wagged her tail, and pressed herself so hard against the kennel gate trying to get closer to people that her sweet little face scrunched up even more. And honestly? We are absolute suckers for mama dogs. Especially the ones the world overlooks. Hope is estimated to only be around 2–3 years old, but her body tells the story of being used over and over again. Sadly, mama dogs like Hope are often passed over because they don’t look “perfect” enough anymore. But to us? Hope is beautiful. She is gentle, loving, and so unbelievably grateful for human kindness. This girl wants nothing more than human touch, soft words, and someone to look at her with love. Even at the vet, through everything she’s been through, her tail never stopped wagging. Hope absolutely adores people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs too. During this shelter pull, we saved quite a few bully breed mixes. They are some of the hardest dogs to find homes for, but we refuse to let that stop us from giving them a chance. We love them, and they deserve to be loved too. Hope still needs a few months to heal before she can be spayed, but what she needs most right now is a foster home full of love. If you’ve been thinking about fostering, please consider this sweet mama. We cover supplies and medical care — you just provide the love. We would love nothing more than for Mama Hope to finally learn what it feels like to truly be someone’s baby.  Visit www.scoutshonor.org to learn more about Hope.May 24, 2026, 2:34 pm
