Story
Benji Magoo – Inspiration to all Underdogs, Snack Enthusiasts, and Dogs Who Are Just Trying Their BestOccupation(s): Professional Shadow • Shower Lifeguard • Neighborhood Watch InternAge: Young enough to cause chaos, old enough to know he shouldn’t, and bold enough to do it anyway.Equal parts fuzzy charm and feral goblin energy, this spicy Shih Tzu operates on pure vibes, endless shenanigans, and zero regrets. He has a Tough Guy exterior, but a soft, snuggly center reserved for his chosen people. His attitude is as big as he is small, and his circle of trust is modest, but growing every day. Magoo’s hobbies include acting as Resident Bouncer when visitors are at the door, supervising all bathroom activities, and learning from the resident dogs how to bark at pedestrians who have the audacity to mind their own business.Magoo has also done wonderfully with his foster’s five-year-old niece, proving that while he may be a tiny bouncer at heart, he has a soft spot for gentle kiddos who offer good vibes and better treats.Fun Fact: He was recently interviewed by a Newsweek reporter, so please address him with the respect befitting a media personality. He’s basically a celebrity now. Autographs available between 11:00am - 11:09am every other Thursday. Personality: 10/10Penchant for Criminal Activity: 7/10Commitment to being adorable chaos: 100/10Ego after the Newsweek interview: Off the chartsIf you have experience with short kings who have big personalities and loud opinions, we welcome you to submit an inquiry to become Benji’s new sidekick by emailing his foster mom at maureen1188@gmail.com. Benji Magoo is a special adoption; his new family will meet with a member of HRA’s behavior team to go over his unique personality, needs, and how to best support a tiny king with a limited field of vision but an unlimited capacity for love, snacks, and chaos.To see more of his antics (and his good side), check him out on Instagram @Barks_and_Wreck

He’s a very shy little guy who is still learning that the world can be a kind and safe place. Because of this, Wallace will need a quiet, calm home and an adopter who understands that trust takes time and patience. Wallace does wonderfully with other dogs and would likely feel more confident with a friendly canine buddy to show him the ropes.      Because Wallace can be a flight risk, he’ll need a home that is mindful about doors, leashes, and safety. If you have a peaceful home, a kind heart, and the patience to let Wallace move at his own pace, you may just be the person he’s been waiting for.

She’s in excellent health for her age, fully vaccinated, and has been cherished and well cared for her whole life. Gidget is wonderfully easygoing:     •    Great with other pets – she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats.     •    Usually quiet: she only barks when hungry.      •    House-trained – she reliably goes outside, and she also knows to use pee pads if you’re away for longer stretches.     •    Low-maintenance lifestyle – she enjoys short, leisurely walks, but she’s happiest curled up and snoozing for most of the day.     •    Temperament – extremely cuddly and loving. Can be timid around young children, so she’s best suited for a calmer home.     •    LOVES car rides and just being with her person.      •    Spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations.     •    Grooming – not her favorite activity, but she tolerates baths, brushing, and trims without any trouble. Gidget is the perfect companion for someone who wants a quiet, cuddly, loving dog who’s easy to have around and brings a warm, peaceful energy to the home. She will be timid initially but extremely loving and sweet once she gets settled in.  She and her sister, Jackie, are looking for a new home because circustances in their current living situation have changed. Their dad is trying to find a home for both of them with a person/people that will unconditionally love them just as they deserve!

Story
Flurry is a walking puff of happiness with a very serious belief that personal space is optional. She is playful, affectionate, and deeply committed to the idea that whatever you’re doing would be better with a fluffy assistant. She’s housebroken, crate trained, rides like a pro in the car, and struts nicely on a leash. Outside, she enjoys a good zoom and a victory lap; inside, she specializes in lap occupation, couch cuddling, and being adorably underfoot. Flurry may take a hot minute to decide you’re trustworthy—but once approved, congratulations: you now belong to her. She’s loyal, loving, and will happily follow you from room to room like a cheerful little shadow. She gets along with dogs of all sizes and, once she knows them, is all about toy play and chase. Cats? Totally fine. She’s fluffy, not foolish. Flurry is a 3-year-old, 13-lb Shih Tzu mix with a mischievous sparkle and a heart full of devotion. If you’re ready for a fun-loving sidekick who thinks you’re the best thing that’s ever happened, Flurry is ready to claim you ☁️🐾💖 Flurry is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines.
