Holiday-ready and hoping to meet you 🎄
I’m Darby. I’m young, curious, and still learning the basics like leash walking and potty training. I’m looking for a home ready to learn together. The HSC team is here to help us get off on the right paw.

"Noah (formerly Pancake) has been one of the best decisions and happiest moments we’ve ever had. She’s calm, playful, smart, loving, and has adapted beautifully to our family. She’s healthy, learned her name in two weeks, and this was her first trip with us ✈️"

Breezy is a total people-dog.
She’s affectionate, gentle, & loves being close. She enjoys car rides, walks well on leash, and is just as happy exploring as she is curling up nearby.
Breezy would thrive in a calm, adult-only home as the only dog. Meet her at our Adoption Center, 1348 Parker Drive.

"It’s been less than 24 hours but we have seen Amore (now Bean) open up and show her personality in ways we didn’t think would be possible so quickly! She went from the scared, shy pup to the smiling baby you see here faster than we could have imagined!"

✨What two weeks of foster care can do✨
Fostering changes everything.
Cherry’s foster said it best: “My favorite part of fostering is the before/after glow-ups. I don’t think she’s stopped purring since we picked her up.”

Ruthie loves snuggling on the couch, going for walks, and finding the coziest spots to curl up. She has been enjoying time with our volunteers and even squeezed herself into a tiny dog bed during a recent foster stay… because why not.

If you have ever wanted a cat whose name sounds like she owns a floral sofa wrapped in plastic, has closed captions on TV at all times, and carries hard candies in her pocketbook, we have you covered.
Bernice, Gretta, Gwyn, and Hattie may be younger cats, but they are bringing all the charm.

Paddy was found tied to a tree at HSC. His fur was so matted it hid fleas, waste, and a fractured leg. He was underweight and needed careful feeding before surgery.

Fostering changes lives.
Henry’s family signed up to foster, thinking they’d adopt someday. Then they met Gourd.
“He knew our routine on day one and has been so gentle with Henry’s baby sister.”
A short foster stay can lead to the perfect match.
