Story
Daisy is the sweetest gal with all the love in the world to give to the right person. While Daisy may take some time to adjust to a new family, she has great manners in a home - she knows multiple commands and is fully housebroken! She can be fearful with some new people, especially male-presenting individuals, but once she warms up her smile and tail wag will warm your heart. Daisy loves to go on quiet strolls, and is a huge fan of splashing around in the creek! She is an incredibly smart lady who knows a number of commands including sit, down, touch, and shake. Because of her tender personality, a home with individuals 18 and over is required. Daisy lived with a dog in her previous home and while they played often, she simply isn`t a fan if sharing her things, so she will need to be the only animal in her next home. We`ve really enjoyed watching Daisy blossom while in care with us and hope you will give her that chance, too.

Story
Spuds is a BIG goofy boy! He loves nothing more than playing fetch or romping around with a stuffy - as long as you are by his side, he`s the happiest guy! After a bit of playtime he is happy to snooze the day away, waking up every so often to request pets of course. His previous family let us know that he did well with other dogs he met, so if you have another dog and are interested in Spuds, bring them by so we can set up a doggie meet-and-greet here at the shelter. Spuds was a bit too interested in the cat in his previous home, so HSBV will only rehome him to a feline-free home. He has spent some time living in a home with kids and did well, so he might enjoy a household with kids that are okay with his size! He truly has never met a human he doesn`t want to befriend, he is the friendliest guy with the biggest heart

Story
Meet Beno - the biggest lap dog we`ve got right now! When you meet him, expect to see his silly grin with a lolling tongue and wiggly rear end! His favorite past times are long sniffy walks, playing fetch or tug-o-war, chasing plush toys and playing in the water. He has a repertoire of tricks he`s happy to show off for you including sit, stay, spin, lay down, roll over, and shake! Beno has not lived with kids before so children over the age of 10 are recommended. Beno has enjoyed meeting dogs here at the shelter and is a great adult dog ambassador for our puppies! He did not live with other animals in his previous home, so if you have a resident dog, bring them down for a meet and greet to see if they`re fast friends. Beno is also comfortable being crated while his family is not home, especially if left with a chew to munch on! He`s a favorite of our training team and will often spend time with them in their office just hanging out. He`d love to find his family for some sweet, cuddly hang out time!Description of Beno from his foster home: `He`s definitely a `play hard, rest hard` kind of dog. He loves walks with a purpose, enjoys a good game of tug, and has a fun sense of adventure. But once he`s home, he`s also a calm, gentle, snuggly couch potato. And it`s been great seeing that he does well with other dogs too!`

Story
Henry is an adult male Pit Bull, born on May 3, 2021, and weighing 40 pounds. With a big heart and a love for adventure, Henry is sure to capture the affection of those who take the time to understand his unique personality. Despite his strong and confident exterior, Henry requires patience and experience to fully appreciate his loving nature. Henry's journey to becoming a friendly and well-behaved companion hasn't been without its challenges. Due to a lack of socialization during his formative years, Henry sometimes struggles with social cues, which can lead to misunderstandings in social settings. Fortunately, with dedicated training and care, Henry has made significant progress and thrives under the guidance of an experienced owner. What to Expect When Adopting a Dog Like Henry Slow and Steady Introductions: Henry is a "three-date dog," meaning he takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Multiple meet-and-greet sessions will help him feel more comfortable and secure. Patience and understanding are key to gaining his trust. Continued Training and Guidance: While Henry excels in obedience commands such as sit, down, place, and boundary control, he needs ongoing training to reinforce his social skills. A pinch collar is recommended once trust is established, helping him maintain focus and control during walks. Adventure-Loving Spirit: Henry loves adventure and is a great companion for pack walks, though he may initially feel uneasy. His ability to walk calmly past other dogs without reacting is a testament to his progress and potential. Understanding Boundaries: Henry is not allowed on furniture to prevent dominance issues. Instead, he enjoys using his designated place as his own cozy sofa. This routine helps reinforce boundaries and ensure a harmonious living environment. Gentle Handling: Henry is sensitive about being grabbed by his collar. Using treats to lure him is a more effective approach, as it prevents him from shutting down and maintains a positive attitude. Breed-Experienced Owner: Henry requires an owner with experience in handling Pit Bulls or similar breeds. Understanding his needs and providing a structured environment will help him continue to thrive and grow into a well-rounded companion. By welcoming Henry into your home, you're inviting a loyal and adventurous spirit into your life. His journey of growth and the bond you'll build together will be rewarding and fulfilling. If you're ready to offer Henry the understanding and guidance he needs, he might just be the perfect match for your family!
