This is Tucker, an adorable 1-year-old Rottweiler/Pittie mix looking for a forever home! The consensus here at the shelter is that Tucker definitely has a big ol' head (lovingly referred to as a "bobblehead"), but he also has a great big ol' heart to match. This sweet boy loves everyone he meets.
Tucker is:
✅Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped
✅Dog selective, but can get along with others
✅Likely good with teenage kids and older
✅Heartworm negative
✅Loving, energetic, and friendly!

Come meet him today!

Lonely Hearts Club: Chip ❤️‍🩹
Animals that have been in shelter care for over 45 days are considered a member of our Lonely Hearts Club. Chip the bunny has been waiting for a forever home for over 175 days without adoption interest 😞

This almost 2-year-old bun is a curious little guy who loves to explore. He's a social bunny and enjoys spending time with people and getting pets. Chip's foster says he is litterbox trained, will do zoomies when he gets excited, and is a super sweet and cuddly little guy!

Chip is neutered and seems to be in good health, however we believe he is deaf - but this doesn't seem to hinder him in any way!

We recommend having experience in rabbit care if you are considering adoption, but we are also happy to provide some education if you are a new bunny owner. Rabbits need lots of room to roam - they should not be kept in a cage 24/7 - and require plenty of enrichment, proper nutrition, and regular handling to maintain a bond with their humans. Talk to our adoption counselors about rabbit care if you're interested!

You can fill out an adoption application for Chip on our website at heschatt.org/otherpets.

UPDATE: ADOPTED ❤️
Happy Caturday! This is Admiral Spot. He is looking for a furrever family that will hand feed him tasty treats, offer a warm spot on your bed, plus lots of cuddles and grooming. He would enjoy a friend to play with, preferably in feline form, but an older, loving child would probably be just as wonderful.

He is a little shy but a lover boy at heart, who wants to be spoiled rotten. In return he will give you the most amazing purrs, nose rubs, winks of affection, and forehead rubs. Come meet Admiral Spot at HES today!

Rex is a 14-year-old miniature poodle. This tiny old man, weighing in at around 19 lbs., is spunky for his age, and is looking for a place to call home to live out the rest of his days.

Rex enjoys the company of other dogs, even choosing to play gently with his buddies once in a while, though he prefers to cuddle and relax most of the day away. Rex would do best in a home that is willing to accommodate to a senior pet's needs, and shower him with love! He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for his forever home!
Fill out an adoption application to inquire about Rex and our adoptions team will contact you to set up a time to meet him!

Skylar is a nervous nelly that will give you her whole heart once she feels safe. This sweetheart is just 1-year-old. She loves scritches, string cheese, and playing with other dogs, as long as she's given enough time to warm up to them.

Skylar is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and would do best with teenage kids or older in her forever home. She'll need a patient and understanding owner, but we know she turns into a silly lovebug once she feels comfortable.

Give this girl the second chance she needs and come meet her today at HES!

Meet Periwinkle, a 3-year old domestic shorthair that is desperate for connection in a home of her very own. This little love-bug enjoys one thing above all others: CUDDLES! Although shy and cautious at first, she will quickly climb into your lap and demand chin scritches. She is also quite good with other cats with a slow introduction. She spends time every day playfully chasing her foster brother through the house! Despite growing up with minimal exposure, Peri loves to explore and be up high. But if she has the choice, she will choose your lap every time! Could Peri be your cuddle partner?

Note: Peri was raised in a single-cat home and is not able to adjust her love-bites, which are filled with so much love that she is not able to control the pressure behind her jaws, especially when overstimulated or startled. For this reason, we do not recommend Periwinkle for a home with young children.

Snacklejack (male) and Briony (female) are brother and sister brindle babies looking for their forever homes. These 9-month-old pups are shy upon first meeting, but open up quickly, especially around other dogs!

Each would likely do well with other dogs in their forever homes, as well as school-aged kids. They can be adopted together or separately (they are not bonded), and will bring so much joy to their new families!

Apply for adoption at heschatt.org/adopt and come in to meet them!

Meet Pilot, the 3 year old squishmallow kitty you never knew you needed! He loves being petted, cuddled, brushed, and talked to. He'll also talk back to you with chirps, squeaks, meows, and even a quirky little growl. He has never met a stranger and loves adults and kids. He will walk away if a child becomes too rough, but he always gives second chances. He has no anxiety with being left alone, but will be so happy when you come back home. He's very scared of being crated or caged, but will forgive you after only a minute after being let out. Check out this chunky boy and see if he's the right fit for you!
