Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Mello! Mello is an energetic, playful boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves to play—whether it’s with our resident dog, Par, or with his people. He’s fully potty trained and crate trained. Mello is very affectionate and extra generous with kisses—he’s still learning when it’s okay to lick and when it’s time to take a break. He’s extremely food motivated, which works in his favor during training. When told to lay down while people are eating, he settles nicely and does a great job. Training & Manners: Mello is still very much a puppy and is learning his manners. He is both treat- and toy-motivated, making training much easier for this big guy. He truly wants to please and is eager to learn. Walks: Mello loves going for walks! He’s still learning how to walk politely on a leash, but we’re already seeing improvements. Dogs: He loves them. He loves kissing his foster sister Par! Treats: Treats are his favorite! He sits nicely for them but is still learning to take them gently. Tricks: Mello currently knows sit, stay, lay down ( which he then goes and lays in his crate) and usually responds when asked, though he’ll benefit from continued consistency and practice. Kids: Mello does love kids but would do best with older children due to his size and puppy energy. The Bottom Line: Mello is a sweet, clumsy, lovable boy who would thrive in a forever home willing to continue his training. With patience, consistency, and love, he’s going to grow into an incredibly well-mannered companion. apply at projecthopearf.org      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 20, 2026, 11:14 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Mama Gretta I used to live out on the streets, where I took care of my 8 puppies all by myself. I did my best to keep them safe and loved… and now it’s finally my turn to be taken care of I’m about 1.5 years old, and I’m settling into my foster home, learning what it means to relax, feel safe, and be loved. Every day I’m getting a little braver and more confident—it’s all still kind of new to me, but I’m trying my best. I'm totally crate trained and potty trained. I know all my basic commands.  I’m a total sweetheart and a big lovebug. I get along with other dogs, cats, and even kids! I just really love being around my people… and I’m pretty generous with kisses too I even went on an almost 2-mile walk (look at me go! ), and I’m learning that adventures can be fun. I’m starting to come out of my shell more and more, and I think with the right family, I’m really going to shine ✨I love long walks then cuddling with my person.  My foster says I'm very weel mannered and gentle! My dream? A forever home where I can keep learning, keep trusting, and finally just be someone’s girl. I’ve taken care of everyone else… now I’m hoping someone will choose me APPLY AT PROJECTHOPEARF.ORGVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 20, 2026, 11:14 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.** Meet Sargent — the nicest pittie you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting! This sweet 6 year old (approximately),  60-pound, neutered gentleman is gentle with everyone he meets, including his foster dog brothers. He loves spending time exploring the backyard, lounging in the sunshine, and just hanging out with his dog buddies. Sargent is happy to sleep in a crate, but if you let him, he would much rather curl up next to you at night. He’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s close to his people. He does bark enthusiastically at times — usually to let you know it’s dinner time or that he’s ready to head outside. In the car, he rides well, though he may whine a little because he’s excited to see where you’re going together. Sargent loves both dogs and people and would make a wonderful addition to just about any home looking for a loyal, loving companion. Sargent’s adoption fee is $350.  This includes age appropriate vaccines, completed wellness visit and microchip   *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications.
