Story
This boy has helped raise a family, now he's looking to settle down with one of his own! Alex came to us with a group of other dogs and has thrived under all of the attention he's received. He walks well on the leash and seems dog friendly, if that tail wagging and occasional on leash play bow are any indication. Alex also seems to relish the volunteer attention as well, enjoying a good back scratching from everyone he meets.

Story
Anyone else hearing 'Eye of the Tiger'? Our former heavyweight champion, Rocky, is looking for a comeback and needs your help to get back to his best. HSOP is just not equipped for training world champions, but report that his current workout is a brisk walk on a leash, multiple sniff reps followed by 30 sec reps of sit and hold. Rocky isn't all tough guy, though. He is looking for his Adrian, some one to scratch his back and that can be his family. Rocky is currently around 58lbs, 1.5 years. He did come in with a training partner, Duke, and may be willing to join an existing training team but HSOP staff can help facilitate that introduction. If you are interested in Rocky, you can fill out an application online at https://www.hsop.org/copy-of-adoption-application * Please note that PetFinder Inquiries do not count as applications, and we often do not see them.

Story
This pretty girl is Cher Bear. Cher was surrendered to the shelter this week when her family could no longer care for her. She is a 1 year old, pit bull terrier mix who has been spayed since coming to the shelter. Cher is a sweet girl who loves her walks and has a good bit of puppy energy still in her and seems to like the other dogs that she has met. She could use some basic obedience and leash training, but is doing very well. She will sit pretty for a treat!
