Heather and family came in looking for another kitty and fell for Beetle. They happen to be diehard Chicago Cubs fans so they renamed Beetle as Ernie Banks!!! Their other cat is named Wrigley Field and their dog is named Waveland Ave. Who says Nostalgia is dead!.
Heather reports Ernie is doing well, some hissing here and there , but mostly they are learning to coexist.

You know Ruldolph, the most famous reindeer... but do you recall Blitzen the cutest dog of all? Blitzen here is a handsome 18 pound, 1 year old male Beagle mix seeking his forever home where he can get all of the cuddles possible! He is a superb little guy and everyone will tell you just that. Blitzen is a fan of everyone he meets and makes sure to greet you with so much excitement that you'll feel special. If you are looking for a new cuddle buddy in your life, then this cutie is your guy! He is an affectionate pooch that will love you forever, as long as you're okay being the big spoon. Blitzen not only enjoys a great embrace from his humans, but he also loves to have a good time! Toys are his absolute favorite and although he hasn't mastered the skill of fetch yet, he does chase. Blitzen is looking to adopt humans that have more of an active lifestyle but also take pleasure in relaxing on the couch when it's time to settle down. He gets along fabulously with other dogs; however, he has not yet been introduced to cats or children at this time. This little reindeer can't wait to meet you!

Karen and John lost one of their cats recently. When Karen saw Cicada online, she had to meet her.
Her facial markings were identical to the senior cat she just lost. They loved Cicada immediately and
Cicada is now Snoopy. Their other cat, Slinky, is still adapting to having a kitten in the house, but
it will just take a little time. Karen said that Snoopy is doing just fine and she was their special
Christmas gift that they love so much! Wishing them a beautiful life together. 🐾 🐾

Meet Zenyatta, the striking 2 year old female Manchester Terrier mix seeking her forever home with someone who will be her new snuggle buddy! This 13.7-pound beauty is Heartworm positive, so she will be Foster to Adopt while undergoing her treatment, which we cover the cost of. You MUST be in Manatee or Sarasota County to apply to adopt Zenyatta! Zenyatta here is a love and she craves attention from her humans. She can be bashful when first meeting unfamiliar people, however, almost immediately she decides you're her favorite person ever! If you want a dog that is playful but also knows when to be Zen, then this pretty pooch could be your perfect match. She has a spunky personality and an adorable face to match... what gets better than that? Zenyatta enjoys going on nice strolls when the weather is nice and sniffing around for new interesting smells. After her exercise routine, she loves cuddling with her people and getting good pets. Zenyatta has not yet been formally introduced to dogs, cats, or kids, however, her loving demeanor will shine through! Visit hslwr.org for more info on our adoption process 🐾

Are you looking for a perfect-sized pooch with a pleasant personality? Giselle here is ready to pack her bags and move into your home! This gorgeous pup is a 4 year old, 30 pound female Bull Terrier mix seeking her forever home with someone who will treat her like the princess she is. Giselle is one special canine, and we even know how she does in a home environment! Mora, one of our staff members had nothing but fabulous things to say about this little sleepover guest! Giselle is a proper lady and loves to snuggle. She also loves to play fetch outside and engage in a good game of chase with other dogs. Once inside, this sweet pup knows when it's time to relax and will curl up on her dog bed. She isn't a huge furniture gal and didn't try to jump on the bed or couch. Giselle was also thoughtful regarding the humans at chow time and didn't try to ask for their food! It doesn't get better than Giselle and we think Mora (and Moose, pictured with Giselle) agree! If you want a playful and affectionate medium-sized dog, then grateful Giselle will fit right in! Visit our website hslwr.org for more info on this beauty and about our adoption process. 😍

The Apple triplets, are a whirlwind of playful energy! Jasper, a female, loves feather toys and is very affectionate. Theo, though more reserved, is a devoted “mama’s boy” working on his escape artist skills. Ellie, the timid one, shows affection by gently climbing on me. They’re inseparable, constantly playing and sharing my bed (and sometimes my face!). Adopting them was the best decision ever.

Wendie’s daughters have been asking for a dog for years... and this year they wanted
a real one vs. a stuffed one! We had the puppy for them. Wendie and Rafael met Elf
and totally fell in love. The girls were so excited when Wendie brought the pup home.
Elf is now named Coconut! Wendie reports that he’s so loving and well-behaved...
absolutely fantastic! The girls are in love. They want to play with him all day. To say
he is tired and sleeping well is an understatement. He is always so happy and Wendie
said that they are all delighted. Wishing this beautiful family years of joy with their new puppy!
