Joey was found near a dumpster.

When a caring community member discovered Joey, he was soaking wet and shivering alone by a dumpster at a job site. But despite his rough start, Joey showed nothing but warmth, love, and courage when he came into our shelter.

From the moment he arrived, Joey’s spirit captured everyone’s hearts. Our staff’s notes are full of praise for his sweetness, friendly nature, and his unbreakable joy for life. Each tail wag, every soft nuzzle, showed us Joey’s incredible resilience and willingness to trust and love, even after all he had been through.

One staff member was so taken with Joey’s gentle heart that he placed a choice hold on him immediately, eager to give Joey the loving home he deserved. After being cleared by our medical team, Joey finally got to go home to a life filled with soft blankets, cozy sweaters, and lots of snuggles. He would never be left out in the cold again.

At HSPPR, we believe even the most heartbreaking stories can lead to a brighter future. Joey’s story may have started in sadness, but it became a journey of unwavering hope, incredible kindness, and a second chance at happiness.

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and ensures that animals like Joey not only survive—but find a loving home.

A few of our dogs need a sick day!

These adorable pups have caught a cold! Some of our sweetest pals in the shelter, like Tank and Dory, are under the weather and need a cozy, loving place to rest and recover. Just like us, when our furry friends hang out in bustling environments, they can sometimes pick up a little bug, and the shelter can be a bit too much for them when they’re feeling down. That’s why we’re urgently seeking kind-hearted fosters who can offer these pups a safe, quiet space to heal.

By becoming a foster, you’ll give these wonderful dogs a second chance to get healthy before being adopted. Imagine the difference a warm bed, gentle care, and a few days of peace can make! With your help, we can get these dogs back on their feet, tails wagging and ready for their next adventure. If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the perfect time to jump in.

Please consider opening your home and heart to a dog in need—your compassion will be the key to their recovery. Together, let’s turn their sniffles into snuggles! 🐾 Apply to foster today and be the hero these pups are waiting for.

Pixie came to us in desperate need of help—she had such a severe eye infection that she couldn't see at all.

Thanks to our dedicated medical staff, both of her eyes were saved, but one is permanently scarred. Sadly, Pixie will likely face ongoing challenges with her vision as she continues to heal.

Finding adopters for cats with medical issues can be incredibly difficult, but Pixie truly deserves a loving home where she can receive the care and support she needs. She has so much love to give and is ready to find a safe space to thrive. If you or someone you know can open your heart and home to Pixie, please help us give her the chance she deserves.

Marley is Homeward Bound! 🏡💖

Yesterday morning, a kind-hearted community member brought us an adorable stray cat. Our dedicated staff jumped into action and immediately checked for a microchip. Guess what? This little furball, named Marley, had one! We quickly scanned it and were able to contact Marley’s owner, who was absolutely overjoyed to hear the news because Marley had been missing for two and a half years!

We’re just bursting with happiness knowing we could reunite this loving pair. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of microchipping! If your pet gets separated from you, having a microchip makes it so much easier for us to help you find them. Make sure you're keeping the contact information associated with microchip up to date as well. It’s a simple step that can make a world of difference!

So, if you haven’t already, why not schedule an appointment with one of our wellness clinics to have your pet microchipped? Let’s make sure every furry friend has a better chance of finding their way home.

You all might remember our beloved Bernice, the sweet family dog who, for too long, was without a family of her own. Bernice was in our shelter for nearly four weeks, and during that time, our staff and volunteers grew to adore her playful spirit and loving nature. It broke our hearts to see this precious girl struggle to find a home, and we wished for nothing more than to see her embraced by a family who would love and understand her.

Well, our wish came true, and we are over the moon to share that Bernice finally found her new family last Friday! We couldn't be happier that she has discovered the companionship and love we always knew she deserved. Her journey hasn't been easy, and we can't help but celebrate this beautiful new chapter in her life.

Bernice was one of an incredible 112 animals who found their new homes this past weekend! It's a testament to the power of community. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for sharing Bernice's story; you have no idea how far your kindness can reach. Your support truly makes a difference for animals who are longing for a second chance. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping to create happy tails for animals in need!

We couldn't resist popping in to share some purr-fectly wonderful news: our favorite little loaf, Dude, has found his new home! This adorable bundle of joy was just one of the many furry friends at our shelter eagerly waiting for their loving families to discover them.

If you're looking to add a little sunshine to your life, why not stop by and meet our other sweet residents? Whether you're searching for a playful kitten, a snuggly adult dog, or a very chill turtle, we're sure you'll find your perfect match waiting for you.

Shhh! Marcy is daydreaming about her future family! 💖🐾

Marcy's journey began back in August when she arrived at our shelter very pregnant and ready to bring new life into the world. After giving birth while in our care, she spent time with a loving foster family, nurturing her adorable puppies until they were strong enough to find new families. Now, Marcy has been available for adoption for 16 long days, and our hearts ache that she hasn't yet found a home to call her own.

Our staff is absolutely smitten with Marcy! They can't believe such a gentle and affectionate dog is still waiting. With her lovely demeanor and sweet personality, she's the perfect cuddle bug, always looking for those warm hugs and gentle pets. Marcy thrives on love and companionship from humans and would do best in a home without small animals or other dogs, where she can soak up all the attention for herself.

If you're interested in making Marcy a part of your family, we'd love for you to visit our website or come down to our Colorado Springs location to shake paws and see if she's the right fit for you!

And if adopting isn't in the cards for you right now, you can still help! Please share Marcy's story so we can find this sweet little lady the loving home she truly deserves. Thank you for helping us make her daydreams come true!

Sisters! Sisters! There were never such devoted sisters!

These two adorable 1-year-old cats are bonded together. We like to think of them as a sister act. They're each a star in their own right, but they prefer to steal the show together. Whether they're snuggling up for a nap or playing together, these two are always side by side, showing the world what true friendship looks like.

These two are looking for a family who will love them both, with all their quirks and lovable traits and appreciates their fantastic personalities just as much as their gorgeous looks. They're ready to find a home where they can stay together forever and be the perfect addition to a family who wants a little extra love and joy in their lives.

If you're looking for a sweet, loving pair of cats who will adore you as much as they adore each other, then look no further—Vita and Holly are the ones for you! These two are ready to fill your home with snuggles, playtime, and plenty of purring.

If you'd like to adopt Vita and Holly, come visit them at our Colorado Springs location. If you're not ready to adopt, please share their story so they can find a new home.

We're still grinning from ear to ear because we had an absolutely incredible weekend with 139 adoptions! That's 139 lives changed, 139 families made complete, and 139 reasons to celebrate!🎉

Among those 139 was the lovely Louise! Louise came to us as a tiny stray kitten with a rough start to life that left her needing extra care. Enter Zoie, our Director of Shelter Operations. Zoie stepped up to foster Louise and made sure she received all the love, attention, and TLC she needed to get healthy and strong.

Zoie was absolutely smitten the moment she met Louise. It was one of those magical moments when you just know it's meant to be—like a perfect puzzle piece falling into place. So this weekend, Zoie had a foster win and adopted Louise! We couldn't be happier for them and look forward to many more adorable photos of them together!

It's like we always say—pets and people are better together. We're so grateful to our fantastic team, volunteers, foster families, and adopters for making this weekend so special. And, of course, we're already looking forward to the next round of happy tails. Maybe yours is waiting for you right now!

Thanks to our dedicated medical staff, both of her eyes were saved, but one is permanently scarred. Sadly, Pixie will likely face ongoing challenges with her vision as she continues to heal.

Name something cuter than a baby rat. We will wait.

HELP! We are currently caring for 70 rats (and counting)! What started as just a couple of rats quickly turned into way more than just a couple of rats. Many of the female rats surrendered recently have given birth, meaning we have a TON of itty bitty babies (one foster home has 17 pups). We want to find loving homes for all 70 rats and could use your help. Over the next few weeks, more and more rats are going to find their way to our adoption floor, and we want to make sure we have enough space so everyone has a chance at a Happy Tail. Rats are extremely social and loveable little pets, and they would much rather spend their time with you than in a shelter. So, please help us find homes for the six currently available rats so we can continue to have a place for the many more rats to come! Look at the cuteness on our website: https://pets.hsppr.org/?species=10&gender=All&location=All
