Story
Name: Lizard Age: 2 years Breed: Catahoula Leopard dog Size: 31.4 lbs Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org Lizard is a lovable 2-year-old, 32-pound pup who came into our care as a stray in mid-October 2025. From the moment he arrived, his gentle nature and happy spirit have made him a shelter favorite. He has a great amount of energy and loves to start his day with a few joyful zoomies, but once he gets that out of his system, he settles into a calm, affectionate companion. Lizard already knows how to sit, is eager to learn more, and loves working with people. He’s wonderful with other dogs and would thrive in a home with playmates or a family looking for a friendly, easygoing addition. His sweet personality, good manners, and fun-loving attitude make him an amazing family dog in the making. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and gentle new best friend, come meet Lizard—he just might be the perfect match for you.

Story
****Jasper have been with us longer than we`d like, so he has been added to our Lonely Hearts Club. His adoption fee has been reduced to $100****Hello, I’m Jasper! I’m an older, shorter dog who prefers a quieter pace and a home that understands gentle old souls like mine. I can be unsure around new people and may bark at first, but I warm up best with a lot of time, patience, and calm introductions. Being alone is hard for me and I may whine, though once I feel secure I’m generally easygoing. When I’m happy I can get a bit enthusiastic and might jump up, but my heart is in the right place. I’ve lived with another dog before, but I can be protective around food and reactive to dogs I see through windows, so I may do best as the only dog in the home. With enrichment, consistency, and time to adjust, I’m a loyal companion who truly blossoms once trust is built!Medical History: Jasper appears to be a healthy senior dog, although there are a few arthritic and knee issues your counselors should talk with you about. We always recommend that dogs see a new vet shortly after adoption so they can get to know each other and plan a schedule for long-term good healthWeight: 81 lbsAdoption fee: $100 + Tax

****Jaxx has been with us longer than we`d like, so they have been added to our Lonely Hearts Club. Their adoption fee has been reduced to $100****Well hi there, I’m Jaxx! I’m a sensitive guy who bonds deeply with my people and I do best in a calm and quiet home. New people can make me a little nervous at first, so I might bark until I feel safe, but believe me, once I trust you, I’m incredibly loyal. I get excited very easily and I don’t love being alone, so I’d really appreciate someone who can help me build confidence and stick to my comforting routines. I’ve lived with another dog before, but I can be protective around food and get worked up when I see other dogs through the window, so I will be happiest as your one-and-only dog in the home. With patience, enrichment, and slow introductions to new things, I’ll show you just how loving and devoted I can truly be!
