Story
ABOUT MONTE Monte is a 7-year-old bully mix with a big head and even bigger personality! He came to HAP after his beloved owner unexpectedly passed away. Understandably, transitioning from a home to the shelter was confusing and stressful for him at first. During his initial weeks, Monte needed time to adjust, but he's since settled in and begun to show us how goofy he is! These days, Monte lights up when he sees his friends, bouncing with excitement and gently nudging them for scratches. While he’s affectionate and loves attention, Monte is also perfectly content doing his own thing. He enjoys exploring our fenced-in fields, splashing in kiddie pools, and chasing his favorite toys. Bath time? Not a problem for Monte. His favorite part isn't the bubbles, it's the thorough scrub-down and the cozy towel-dry afterward. He’ll even let us drape towels over him like a little king, then lounge around in comfort and style. Monte is a smart, sassy boy who already knows how to sit, give paw, and speak for a treat. And if you're not paying attention? He might "speak" just to remind you he’s there! He’s the perfect mix of independent and affectionate, a loyal companion who loves to coexist with his people and snuggle up when the moment’s right. Monte has also spent some time outside of the shelter with one of our staff members, here's what she had to say about him: "I had my buddy, Monte, for a day out yesterday and he was the best boy! He was great in the car and stood at attention in the backseat the whole drive. He loved sniffing around the back yard and followed me everywhere inside the house. He is not a big PDA guy, but he did give me a couple kisses and loved having his ears and under his chin scratched. We finished off the day with an afternoon nap on my bed. He hopped right up, laid down, And promptly fell asleep! I can’t wait to take him out again" - Kaitlin **Monte has done well with other dogs at the shelter, though he can be selective. We are aware that Monte has a minor history of resource guarding food/toys with other dogs, so if you have another dog, we advise separate feeding and play spaces. 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.

Story
ABOUT ZEUS Zeus came to HAP after his owner passed away. At 7 years old, adjusting to shelter life after living in a loving home has been challenging for him. However, once he realized we all think he’s the cutest guy, he started to warm up to the place! Zeus has become a bit of a celebrity around HAP. Our animal caretakers often take him on walks through the building, where he happily stops to greet all his human friends. In true bully breed fashion, he can be a little stubborn, he now insists on visiting his friends after his outdoor walks. What can we say? The love has become an essential part of his routine! When he’s not soaking up attention, Zeus is a laid-back, easygoing senior pup who enjoys chewing on bones and going for short, leisurely walks. He is friendly with new people, easily won over by treats, and very affectionate. He enjoys long car rides, showing off his tricks, and melting into his friends for love! Given his age and size, Zeus is a low-maintenance companion who spends most of his day lounging or napping! 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!
