Story

Meet Ralphie Ralphie is a 5-year-old small mixed breed weighing about 12 pounds—just the perfect pint-sized companion.

Ralphie is an incredibly sweet boy who enjoys attention and being around his people. With his gentle personality and adorable size, he’s the kind of dog who will happily be your tiny shadow and loyal best friend.

Story

Dog Name: Matilda Jean Breed: Mixed breed Sex: Female Age: 12 years Weight: 7 lbs Medical Needs: Blind & mostly deaf Daily eye drops for chronic dry eye. She has no teeth, so she has to eat wet food and her tongue is always hanging out. Housebroken: Does good on a schedule and will bark when she wants to go out, but also barks when she wants attention, so we go out a lot more than we need to. Will also use puppy pads if confined to a small area like a pen, otherwise she can't always find them. Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: No. She's old and fragile. Being carried to her destina6is her preference. Energy level: Low Need a fenced in yard: No Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Unknown, but honestly a cat is more dangerous to her than she would be to it. Kid Friendly: Unknown Much like cats, the bigger concern is their potential danger to her. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Matilda Jean (Matty for short) is just an old lady looking for a warm comfy spot and a loving family to spend her golden years with. She loves being loved and when she's ready to be held she will bark until she gets your attention . She's also happy to accept any extra lovings you wish to bestow upon her. This girl just wants to be a lap dog, and after all she's been through, she deserves it now more than ever.

This lovely senior gal does great with other dogs and cats and would thrive in a peaceful home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort.

Story

ABOUT MOCHA & OREO Meet Oreo and Mocha, an inseparable duo of 12-year-old Shih Tzu brothers who are looking for a forever home together. These two came to HAP when their owners could no longer care for them, and they’ve been side by side ever since, truly bonded in every sense of the word. Oreo is the social butterfly of the pair, adorable, friendly, and always seeking affection. If you stop petting him, he’ll gently tuck his nose under your hand or scoot closer to make sure the love continues. He lives for treats, attention, and being close to his people. Mocha, on the other hand, is a quiet, gentle soul. He is blind and will need a calm, patient home where he can enjoy his golden years at a slower pace. Mocha’s favorite activities include curling up in a cozy spot and napping the day away, especially when he knows Oreo is nearby. These sweet senior brothers provide comfort and companionship to one another and must be adopted together. They are the perfect match for someone looking to open their heart and home to two loving seniors who ask for very little, just kindness, patience, and a soft place to land for their retirement days. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
