Meet ✨LONDON✨

London is a sweet and independent 13-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for a calm and loving forever home. This senior gentleman enjoys the simple things in life—leisurely walks, exploring with his nose, and long, cozy naps. While London gets along with other dogs who respect his space, he’s not one for playtime and prefers to do his own thing.

London is fully crate trained and house trained, making him an easy addition to the right home. He’ll do best in a patient environment where he can feel safe and comfortable at his own pace. A home without small children would be ideal for him.

London is currently receiving regular medicated baths to support his skin health, as his vet isn’t sure if his hair will grow back. But don’t worry—his charm and sweet personality shine through regardless!

If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will happily lounge by your side and enjoy life at a slower pace, London might be the perfect match for you! Apply to adopt London today and follow his journey with 🐾❤️

Meet ✨POPPY✨, affectionately known as Poptart!

This 5-month-old bully breed mix weighs about 25 pounds and is as sweet as her nickname suggests. Poppy is crate-trained (and sleeps through the night like a champ!) and is almost fully house-trained. Her love for treats makes her a quick learner, and she’s already mastering basic commands.

Poppy is currently fostered with other dogs and does great with her foster sibling, showing excellent social skills and taking cues like a pro. While she hasn’t been around children or cats, her adaptable nature suggests she’d adjust well with the right introductions.

Poppy’s favorite pastimes include playing tug, chewing on a good bone, and, above all, snuggling. She’s the ultimate cuddle buddy, always ready to curl up next to you while you work, read, or enjoy a cozy nap on a rainy day.

This bright and affectionate pup would thrive in a home committed to providing her with mental and physical stimulation while continuing her journey to becoming an upstanding canine citizen.

If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion, Poppy might be your perfect match 🐾❤️

✨LENNY✨ is a tiny boy with a huge heart (and ears).

🐾 While he has the playful and curious traits of a puppy, he is very calm and listens well. His favorite activities are napping and sniffing for scraps while humans are cooking.
🐾 Lenny loves to smother anyone who enters the home with kisses while he passionately holds your face with his paws.
🐾 Lenny is around 5 months old. He has a pretty quiet bark so he would do well in a house or apartments.

13/01/2025

Hi! I’m Millie Doggy Brown 💕, a sweet, affectionate, playful, floppy little puppy girl who will steal your heart and your shoes! I was found as a stray and brought into a shelter by a nice human. The vets there estimated that I was about 4 months old and would grow to be a medium size 40ish pound adult. My foster dad thinks I’m a pittie mix. I have a beautiful white and chocolate brown coat and baby Yoda ears, and weigh about 12 pounds right now- but I’m growing every day!

Though I can be shy at first, I have a big personality! I get along very well with my big 70lb sister, and a previous temporary foster has said I get along very well with cats. I haven’t had any interest in my current foster’s cats.

I do well in a crate, and I’m learning to walk on a leash. I’ve been doing well with house training, and am starting to learn how to tell my parents when I need to go out. I absolutely love hanging out on the couch with my foster dad and my sister, and I’m ALWAYS up for a good cuddle. I aspire to be your lap dog and couch companion!

Since I am a baby girl, I will do best in a home with someone who can take me out every 2-3 hours for potty breaks. I do really well overnight and only go out once. I will also be very happy with dog siblings, once I get comfortable with them.

My foster dad thinks I am a perfect dog. If you are looking for the bestest baby girl to raise as your own, apply now!

Meet Simone, the Gold Medalist of Love 🥇❤️

Simone is a 5-year-old Jack Russell terrier and chihuahua mix who’s ready to tumble her way into your heart! Much like her namesake, Simone Biles, this pint-sized gymnast has a spirited personality and impressive agility. But instead of leaping for Olympic gold, Simone’s ultimate goal is a forever home with loving humans who can help her stick the landing in life. While she is a “flight risk” when she feels uncertain (her escape artist skills are medal-worthy), with the right environment—a calm, secure home, preferably with a fully fenced yard—this tiny dynamo transforms into a devoted couch gymnast who loves to nap on or beside her favorite people. Be warned—if she does manage to escape, catching her could turn into a full-fledged marathon event!

Simone has a sensitive side, too. She thrives in a tranquil environment where she can build trust and feel secure. She may experience some separation anxiety, so she’d love a home where her humans are around often and, even better, where she also has a canine companion to keep her company. Simone’s not afraid to let you know how she’s feeling, occasionally using her voice to share her excitement. While it may take some time to warm up, once she’s bonded with you, her favorite sport is cuddling—and she’s a champion at it!

If you’re looking for a spirited yet sweet teammate to join your home, Simone might just be your perfect match. She’s eager to find her forever family, and with your love and patience, she’ll shine brighter than an Olympic flame. Could Simone be the star you’ve been searching for? Apply to meet her today!

Elphaba might not be green, but she’s certainly dazzling. Fearless and full of s***k, she’s already proven she’s made of tough stuff. Just ask her foster family about the time she rolled off the steps, landed with a tumble, and kept right on going as if she were flying on a broomstick!

She’s not just daring—she’s smart, too. Elphaba is already working on “sit” and showing off her clever side. In her foster home, she’s been mixing and mingling with a 1-year-old, two large dogs, and two curious cats. She approaches everyone with interest and charm, proving she’s the perfect blend of adventurous and affectionate.

Elphaba is ready to “Defy Gravity” and soar straight into your heart. Are you the one to help her write her happily-ever-after? Don’t wait—this “Wonderful” girl is ready to take center stage in her forever home!

Say hello to ✨RAVEN✨, a one year old chi mix weighing in at 10lbs. Here are a few things you should know about this adorable gal!

Hi, I'm ✨ROXI✨ – aka Roxanne, Rox, Sweet Baby Girl. Well - I’m not exactly a baby – I’m about 9 years young, but I am incredibly sweet, loving, gentle, and affectionate. To meet me is to love me!

I get along great with other dogs, big and small, but can’t say I’m a big fan of cats (or at least the one I’ve met). I’m crate trained, sleep great through the night, I’m learning to walk well on my leash, already know some basic commands, loves riding in the car, and
generally just cuddling with my people on the couch.

I came into the shelter as a stray and in fairly rough shape with some skin issues, in desperate need of a dental, a mammary mass, and a double ear infection. I am also heartworm positive. But don’t worry, all of this is totally treatable!!! In fact, I’ve already had my spay, dental, and mass removed. My skin is improving, and I started the process of undergoing HW treatment. It’s amazing what a little TLC can do to transform a life.

The best part – besides how much better I already feel and look - is you don’t even have to wait for me to finish my treatment before you can bring me home! I am part of HAR’s "foster-to-adopt" program, which means I can be with my forever family ASAP as a “foster”, while HAR covers the cost of all my medical procedures. And then the adoption becomes official once my treatments are complete! It’s a win-win!

Roxi would love to start out 2025 in her forever home! So, please give this senior girl a chance. She is so deserving of finally having a loving home. I promise you won’t regret it. Please go to www.hopeanimals.org to apply!

✨Raisin’s New Year’s Resolution: Find Her Forever Home✨

Raisin is a six-year-old chihuahua mix who’s had a bit of a bumpy ride to get here—literally. A run-in with a car landed her in the shelter with some bumps, bruises, and internal injuries to boot. Thanks to an amazing vet team and her resilient spirit, this comeback kid is all patched up and ready to take on the world…or at least her growing collection of squeaky toys and the occasional pesky squirrel.

Raisin doesn’t just play fetch—she redefines it with boundless energy and unmatched enthusiasm. When she’s not showing off her impressive retrieval skills or performing sound checks on all the toys in the house, you can usually find her snuggled up under a mountain of blankets, living her best burrito-dog life. She’s always willing to share her comfiest spots and accepts payment in the form of cuddles and belly rubs.

Because she’s currently in winter hibernation mode and generally a bit of a homebody at heart, she prefers movie nights to brewery hangs. But Raisin is extremely social and loves meeting new friends, both dog and human. She’s a gracious host, welcoming guests with a friendly lick or tail wag and quick to infuse any gathering with her infectious joy.

Committed to maintaining healthy habits, Raisin always gets a good night’s sleep in the sanctuary of her crate, walks well on leash for quiet strolls around the neighborhood, and with adequate outside breaks, doesn’t leave messes in the house. She’s not yet convinced that basic commands are a good use of her time—there are so many better things to do than “sit”—but we all have room for some personal growth, right?

Raisin is ready for a fresh start! What better way to tackle the new year than with a new best friend by your side? Apply today!

This happy, silly guy is 📚BLURB📚, and to know him is to love him. Blurb is always down for playtime in any form – whether it’s chasing a toy, tug o war, or wrestling with his siblings. He loves everyone and everyone loves him! Blurb is a complete goofball. He embraces the motto “no thoughts, just vibes” - his clumsiness and antics will keep you giggling, but his sincere puppy eyes will tug at your heart strings.

As playful and enthusiastic as he is, he’s also so sweet and loves to snuggle and give kisses. He’s affectionate and enjoys soaking up compliments and sweet talking. He’s easy to entertain because he’s naturally just so happy! As long as he’s around his people and getting attention his tail will be wagging. We could probably write an entire encyclopedia on how great this chunky puppy is, but that’s just the blurb!

Blurb and his six siblings are part of our bookworm litter! In their foster home they have grown up with dogs of all sizes as well as cats.
