Calling all hound lovers!! 📣

Meet Oliver!
Big ✔️
Howly ✔️
House broken ✔️
Super sweet ✔️✔️

Oliver is 6 years old, 90 solid pounds of all bloodhound (mix). He is dog friendly, crate trained, house broken and really sweet.
Oliver was a victim of divorce, sadly unwanted and "too big" to take along.
He is sad, probably very confused and doesn't quite understand what's going on but his spirits are good and his happy, let me out to sniff howl still works.
He is dog & kid friendly.

Submit an application at HVARS.org if you are interested in giving this big fella a fresh start at life

Jupiter is available for adoption💫
He is only about 11 months old, and currently weighs around 60lbs, and he’s as hound dog as it gets. He’s super sweet, and lovable, but definitely timid when you first meet him! It only takes a short amount of time for him to come out of his shell, then he loves to play and give kisses 🐶
Jupiter is very dog friendly but plays a little rough and doesn’t realize his own strength sometimes.

Tate and Emme Lou are looking for their forever families.
They both originally came to us back in June from the Bahamas.
Tate (purple collar) is very outgoing, and dog friendly but is dominant so does better with a more submissive dog. Tate is a medium cross breed and he’s approximately 2yrs old. Tate is NOT cat friendly!!!

Emme Lou is also a medium sized cross breed that is about 4yrs old! She’s both dog and cat friendly. Emme lou is very shy once you first meet her, and is going to need a quiet home that will give her time to warm up and gain trust. She’s come a VERY long way and we’re already so proud of the improvement she’s made during her time here. If she’s given the time to show her true personality, she’s really the sweetest dog ever.

⭐️If you’re interested in either Tate or Emme Lou, fill out an application at hvars.org!!!⭐️

Pipie (tan and white) is about 10yrs old and weighs about 50lbs.
Both Pipie and Merry are dog friendly, and both are NOT cat friendly.

We would love to see them get adopted together, but they are not bonded and can be adopted separately!!

If you’re interested in either Merry or Pipie, or both! Fill out an application at Hvars.org

Milo is waiting for his forever family to come find him 🐶
Milo has been at the rescue since MARCH!! If you knew this dog, you would find it hard to believe he’s been with us that long.
Milo is a medium sized, mixed breed that’s 7yrs old. He’s very friendly, and he loves everyone that he meets.
His ideal family would be someone who works from home, and/or someone with a lot of patience to work him through his separation anxiety.
When dealing with a dog that suffers from separation anxiety, you should not expect an overnight miracle. It could take months for Milo to feel comfortable with his family being away from him. He requires patience and love, and trust us when we say he’ll give you the same in return.
Milo will be the nicest and easiest dog, as long as he has a family that is willing to understand him, and someone who won’t give up on him.

If you are interested in giving Milo a home, fill out an application for him at hvars.org

⭐️Attention all Big Bang Theory fans⭐️
Sheldon and Amy are still available for adoption!
Both Sheldon and Amy are on the timid side but will want your attention 24/7 once they trust you. They’re chihuahua mixes and Sheldon is around 2yrs, while Amy is 3yrs.
Amy is a little smaller than Sheldon, weighing in at 9lbs while he is a whopping 12lbs.
They both get along with other dogs, and kitty cats!! ♥️
If you are willing to give them time to warm up and gain trust, they will be your best friend and best dog you’ve ever had.
Sheldon is guaranteed to be on your lap and giving kisses every chance he gets. Amy will be wanting you to hold her and cuddle her all day long. Amy will also definitely be using her underbite to her advantage, because how could you possibly say no to that face. 😭🥹
They’re both very housebroken and do both go on leashes / outside.
Although they do love to hang out while they can, they do not need to go home together!!!

If you’re interested in either Sheldon or Amy, fill out an application at hvars.org

Hashbrown is currently available for adoption!! He is a lab mix that is approximately 1yrs old. Hashbrown came to us somewhat recently after being found as a stray down in South Carolina. He was found walking on the side of road with a broken pelvis. Although Hashbrown had a previous injury, you’d never know it! He’s all healed up and excited to find his forever home.
Even though Hashbrown has had a rough start in life, he is the sweetest, most loving boy you’ll ever meet. He has relatively low energy but still likes to play and would be a perfect fit in a home with a low-moderate energy level. He is a good boy on a leash, crate trained, and house broken. He is ready to finally have a home and yard to call his own.

Hashbrown is heartworm positive and being treated, if you are unfamiliar with heartworm, a staff member will gladly discuss the details if you’re interested in adoption.

If you’re interested in Hashbrown, please fill out an application on our website hvars.org

As you know we rehabilitate roughly 500 wildlife a year and many of those animals end up being released on properties we continuously feed at.

We are desperately in need of dry dog and dry cat food. Bags can be open and we have added Purina Dry Adult dog food to our Amazon wish list for $17. This size bag will approximately feed the wildlife for 1 day.

If anyone would like to donate please feel free to drop off any open or unopened bags of dog or cat food to our rescue located on 9 Barnes drive Poughkeepsie NY.
Or follow the link to our Amazon wish list.

Meet Trike!

A kitten who has defied all the odds and made it to the status "available for adoption" after many stressful weeks.

Trikes story starts about 9 weeks ago, he came in as a stray that was found at just 1 pound, a broken leg and a broken pelvis, he was so small only supportive care could be done.
About a month ago, little Trike was healing well but his belly started to swell, immediately we started running tests and after 2 weeks, many ultrasounds, blood tests and biopsies later, he was diagnosed with a cystic kidney. Possibly from the accident or possibly born this way, he needed it removed.
So 2 weeks ago, Little Trike underwent the rather large surgery to take his kidney that was causing so many issues.
He may have used a few of his kitty lives in his kittnehood but we know he has many more healthy years to live.

Trike is a little sour patch, the perfect amount of feisty & sweet! A total orange cat personality 😺
