Story
Make sure to let us know you saw Bishop on Adopt-a-pet. Bishop is a shutdown pup, his humans failed him in every way. It has only been a couple days, but he is making progress with a few staff members, and he loves other dogs. Bishop has a long way to go before he will be holding his head up high, trusting that every movement you make will not be coming at him, and overall being comfortable with new things. Bishop needs a hero.

Story
I am looking for a loving home who can provide her with everything she needs. She is a pocket bully full disclaimer. I rescued her from a home she was locked up in 24/7. She is a cuddle bug, and as sweet as can be. She loves belly rubs the most. Walks are her favorite thing to smell everything on. She does good in her crate during the day while at work. I can’t keep up with both dogs at this point in my life and want to do what is best for her. This is not an easy decision so I will be picky with who takes her. I need someone who will be prepared for her needs, not constantly lock her up, and understand she has a past.

Story
I adopted Lola from a litter of puppies through one of my daughters college classmates. She was born on 12/7/2022. Lola is a very smart and sweet dog. She is house trained, crate trained, obedient, friendly and loves affection. She is wonderful with children (as mentioned below I have 5 children), loves playing and has a very happy personality. The reason I am seeking a new home for Lola.....I am a single parent of 5 children and have an older dog as well. I recently learned that I must undergo severe back surgery and will be in recovery for several months. Also, my job has me out of the house 5-6 days a week and I often have to travel for work. Although I am very attached to Lola, I feel it will be best for her to be in a home where she can receive the attention that she deserves.

Story
Hey my name is Bridgette! I am a goofy, playful, and affectionate dog looking for an active owner who can offer lots of play time and quality one-on-one time. I am a well rounded dog who loves to have fun with toys, but also loves to chill and snuggle. I'm a fun-loving dog who loves to play chase, so a home with cats or young children wouldn't be a good fit for my exuberant personality. I could do well with doggie friend in my forever home, but new friends can be pretty exciting for me, so I would like to meet them at the shelter beforehand to make sure we are a good match.Foster Parent Comments: "Bridgette is the sweetest little gremlin. She is ready to go go go as soon as she wakes up in the morning but settles into a nice long morning nap after breakfast and some wrassling time. She absolutely loves playing tug with any toy, fetch (though we've had mixed results on her giving the ball back), zooming around the trees in the backyard, and loves to pretend she's in the WWE when she plays with her foster sister. She is eager to learn and has come so far in the year-ish she's been with me! We've been working on being calm when we pass other dogs who are barking from their yards and she's making great progress with the help of training treats and me being consistent on our walks. We found out last fall when she came up north with me that she loves playing in lakes and going on long hikes to smell ALL the smells. She's an adventurous eater, and we've determined bananas, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, green beans, apples, and even brussel sprouts are yummy so long as they're cut into perfect bite sized pieces. She gives great gentle hugs, is always ready to give many many kisses, and loves to curl up on the couch or bed after a long day of shenanigans." Let Bridgette's bubbly personality float into your life! She will be a wonderful companion who will shower you with love, and bring so much joy and laughter into your life. With a little bit of time to settle in, Bridgette will surely blossom into your best friend! Bridgette is currently living in one of our wonderful foster homes. Adopting from foster is easy! Please email adoptions@hshv.org or call (734)662-5585 to arrange a meeting today!

Story
Nuggies is a bit of a shy guy, but once you're in his circle, he wants nothing more than to cuddle up and get some pets. He learns quickly and loves to train, especially if you can provide him some chicken nuggets for his tricks! He would love a home who will continue working with him on his training and help him gain confidence, especially around new people. He would prefer a quieter environment where he can relax, but also doesn't mind letting him run out his zoomies!

Story
Elizabeth is a very sweet girl, who can be shy when you first meet her but loves to cuddle and receive attention once she is comfortable.Elizabeth thrives living in a quiet neighborhood and also enjoys having a fenced yard to run around and play fetch. She likes short walks twice a day as well. She is petite and athletic, weighing in at 37 pounds. For enrichment, she enjoys her meals out of a Kong wobbler (which can be sent to her new home with her) and playing with toys. She responds well to positive reinforcement training.She gets along well with her dog foster sibling, but would like to meet any potential siblings before adoption to ensure it is a good match. She does have a strong prey drive, so needs a home without cats or other small critters.Elizabeth is currently living in one of our amazing foster homes! Adopting from foster is easy!

Story
Aspen is incredibly affectionate and loving with her humans. One of her favorite activities is snuggling-anytime, anywhere! She is happiest when spending time with her favorite people and is all about long, adoring stares and cuddles. She is thrilled when you wake up in the morning and thrilled every time you come home. While she is still under 2 years old, she has an "old souled" quality about her and an emotional depth that's impossible to articulate but can be felt very immediately in her. If she were human, she would be a philosopher! She is also exceedingly smart and picks up new training skills/tricks at lightening speed.Aspen is currently living in one of our amazing foster homes!

Story
Make sure you let us know you saw Bruno on Adopt-a-pet.*In a foster home, call for meet/greet* Talk about a lug head, this big guy was found as a stray by a vet tech who tried to find his owner. With no luck he ended up at the shelter. Bruno quickly showed us what a ham he is, he's quite the crooner too! Bruno does bark to get your attention and when he's excited. This smart pup knows sit, shake, down, he comes when called, enjoys walks (he's strong), loves to romp around the yard, loves to "fish" out of the pool, and has done well with the canine friends he's met, he will not share toys and shows some possessiveness of them. Bruno is a big boy, with a big heart, he loves everyone. We say no small children due to his size and tendency to chew up toys. If you've been looking for a a big pup that doesn't require a lot of work make sure to visit with Bruno Mars!
