Story
Chopper is a 3 year old American Staffy, he’s from a litter my moms’ dogs had. He is very active and does well taking commands like sit, lay down, and shake. He loves to cuddle and lay down in bed. Ideally he would need to be in a home with someone with lots of experience handling dogs and where he is the only pet. He is very protective and does well as a natural alarm system. No rehoming fee because I’m not interested in money. I just want to make sure that he goes to a home with someone that can provide the attention and love he needs. He is a great dog, super loving, very attentive, and deserves to be in a home where he can be free and happy.

Story
Nash is searching for her forever home! NASH'S STORY: Nash is a sweet pup with an energetic personality! She loves to be very close to you, especially laying with her head on your lap. With high-energy and a high play drive, Nash is looking for a home where she can exercise daily and roam about. Born during COVID, Nash is dog reactive with sight and sound though lived with an exuberantly playful Irish Wolfhound from birth to 2 years and currently resides with a docile, senior Chihuahua. Things to know about Nash's training, are that she was trained as a puppy on all of her basic commands, then worked with a behavioral trainer for over a year on her reactiveness. Most recently, she attended a high-distraction Board & Train Program with an e-collar training methodology. Once in her home, will routinely need to continue working on her response to reactive occurrences. Nash is also housebroken, leash-trained, and crate-trained - even though she stays out while her Owners are away. She's lived with and is good with young kids. Having also lived with cats, she is largely very sweet with them but does try to play sometimes. Ask us to tell you more about Nash!

Story
Kayode (like coyote) is a sweet, playful energetic dog, gets along with everyone he meets, cat savvy, rarely barks, even when people are knocking at the door, would make a great running partner, knows commands: sit, down, come, heel, place, break, which we use "break" for when it's feeding time, he wait to be released before digging in. He's a great dog, just don't have time for him like I used to do to lifestyle changes. He has been around children, and does really well, and great with strangers as he loves attention. He will come with his crate, toys, leash, food bowls, and food, and dog bed.

Story
I'm in a FOSTER HOME! To meet me, email my foster parent at caraballo07@gmail.com.Miss Nancy is an absolute gem of a dog! If you are looking for a chill dog, who loves to cuddle and give an abundance of kisses, search no further! Miss Nancy is a champion napper and snoozing on the sofa is one of her specialties (and very CUTE too!). But this fun, chill girl also loves to play. Her favorite toys are chew ropes and stuffed animals. Give her a stuffed animal with a rope or a bully stick, and she will love you forever! City neighborhoods are no match for Miss Nancy! She is an absolute joy to walk! Miss Nancy greets people like they're her very best friend. You should see her happy tail when she says howdy - it's precious! She loves stopping to meet ALL the humans, other dogs, and get hugs from the neighborhood kids. In between her social time, she is so happy rolling in the grass! Fun fact - If you need a good "wing lady," Miss Nancy is ready for a car ride any day. Her foster parent noted that she's house-trained, not destructive in the home, rarely barks (if ever?), and super sweet and easy! Miss Nancy is a pretty pup seeking a loving home where she can thrive! Meet this lovely doggie today.

No time to come to the shelter? Meet me virtually during our open hours, note that wait time may vary for virtual meet and greets and we require same day pick up if you decide to adopt: https://waitwhile.com/locations/humanerescuealliance/r/welcome Kristofferson is a doggie in search of love and kindness. He so needs TLC from caring people. Kristofferson was left at the shelter in heartbreaking shape. How anyone could have been so neglectful to this innocent angel is beyond comprehension. He was terribly thin with open wounds. Yet, he remained so friendly and calm. What a most excellent doggie! While recovering, he has been charming everyone with his happy little trotting about. And everyone that spends time with Kristofferson says he is "so delightful!" Can you be the wonderful home this sweetie so deserves? Can you fuss over him and give him the good meals he needs? Kristofferson would love to meet you today!

Tyson is not a fighter but a survivor! Tyson was left to fend for himself, and he was found on a super-hot day, and he was failing fast. He had overheated and was suffering! The HRA medical team rushed to save this worthy boy. Tyson recovered quickly - he was determined! Tyson is now very ready to be a part of a family that will not give up on him. Tyson is a sweet, lovable squishy pooch with the most boopable sniffy snout. Make his life wonderful and take him home!
