| TUNDRA Dalmatian Mix 2 yrs. / Spayed Tundra has been in our care since the end of 2008. She is about two years old. So far she has been a really good girl in her foster home. She has done well with other dogs her size, but a home without small dogs would be best. She does need to go to a home without cats. Tundra is a special needs girl because she is deaf. Her forever family must be patient and understanding with her. She is crate-trained and loads herself into the car even if it requires a big jump. After the initial excitement of getting her harness and leash on she walks well on a leash. She is a sweet girl and loves attention. She also loves to go for walks, so if you want a dog with energy Tundra is the girl for you. |

| BELLA Lab/Shepherd/Shiba Inu Mix 2 years / Spayed Bella has been in our care since the end of 2008. She is almost two years old and is a very active, vocal girl. She is very devoted to her people. She has done well around kids and is fine with other dogs except some females. She will chase cats if they run. She seems to want to play but she plays rough. However, she has gotten better about this. A firm voice is all it takes to stop her from doing anything she shouldn't. Bella can run all day long but she loves to get on the couch and relax with you, too. She knows "sit" very well and is willing to learn more and more. |
| JACKSON Collie / Hound Mix 2 yrs / Neutered Jackson was adopted from HCPAP as a puppy. However, he was returned to us when he wasn't a cute puppy anymore. Now, he has been with HCPAP since the beginning of 2009. He is about 2 years old. He is very playful and affectionate. He loves to play with other dogs and is fine with horses. He does like to chase rabbits, although he probably would have no clue what to do if he caught one. He doesn't jump up on you and has never shown any aggression. If you want an active and affectionate dog, Jackson is a wonderful choice. |

You only have to look into an animal's eyes to know that he has a soul or
listen to his cries to realize that he has feelings,too.

| Claire Lab / Shar Pei 10 months /Spayed We rescued Claire from a shelter. She is a very friendly and active girl. Claire would do best in a home with no more than a couple of other dogs. She doesn’t seem to like crowds. She gets nervous and bossy when there are a lot of dogs around. However, she loves to play with other dogs and she does fine with cats. If you would like to see another video of Claire watch Bella's video. She is at the top of this page. |

| Kashmir Chow mix 3 years / Spayed Kashmir is close to three years old. She is an active girl and loves to have something to do. She plays Frisbee, sits, stays and shakes hands with you. She does need a home without cats. She has nice house manners, crates well and is housetrained. She becomes a very devoted family member by watching out for her loved ones. A fenced yard with a buddy to run and play with would be ideal for her. Kashmir does very well on a leash and in the car. She loves to play in the hose, too..as you can see by her video! |

| Lana Chow / Lab 7 years / Spayed Lana was returned to us in June 2010 after five years because her previous owners were moving to an apartment. She is about 7 years old now. She wasn’t well cared for in her previous home because she had mats on her back end that were so bad that we had to just shave her. Her hair has almost fully grown back now. She definitely needs routine brushing. She has done well with the dogs and cats in her foster home. She is a friendly girl and likes attention. Lana needs a new family that is willing to give her all the love and attention she deserves. |
| Here is a quick look at Lana! |
| Martin Pomeranian mix 10+ years Martin is an older guy that was found wandering in a field. He was quite skinny when he came to us. Since then, he has had two good meals everyday and is back to a healthy weight. He seems to be in good health, but we have discovered that he is deaf. A fenced yard or a watchful eye will be required when Martin is outside because he does wander (which is why he ended up in a field.) He has two favorite times of the day and they are breakfast and dinner. These two times are the only times he barks and gets a quicker step. Martin does fine with other dogs and he ignores cats. He does have some food aggression issues but he is fed in a crate to avoid these problems. He does require routine brushing. Martin just needs a quiet home where he can live out the rest of his years! |

| Annie Australian Kelpie mix 2 years / Spayed We just recently rescued Annie from a shelter. She is a very sweet girl and has done fine with other dogs. We are not sure how she is with cats yet. Given that we rescued Annie from a shelter we have no history on her. However, she has a dent in her skull above one eye that is possibly from human abuse. Regardless, she is very friendly but can be a little nervous in new situations. We will never know what happened in Annie's past, but it is up to us to give her a new life filled with love. |
| Kane Great Pyrenees / Border Collie 10 months / Neutered Kane, his siblings and mother were rescued in the nick of time. They had been turned in to a high kill and were scheduled to be put down that afternoon because there was no room. He is the go getter...he loves to climb...so the type of fence you have will be a necessary discussion. How can you resist those eyes...so much expression. Kane loves to play and play hard. When it is nap time he goes down for the count. He does fine with other dogs and cats just like his brothers. YOU need a partner to explore with this summer and to grow with....Make room for this charmer in your life....it will be the best decision you have made. |
| Vera Lab / Pit mix 8 months / Spayed We recently rescued Vera from a local shelter. She spent most of her life in the shelter. We were successful in finding a home for her sister, Lilly, but her brother, Bradley, still needs a home, too. However, he is still in the shelter. Vera is a very active, playful girl. She is go go go. Lots of running and exercise is a must for this busy girl. She is sweet and loves attention. Because Vera lived in the shelter most of her life she is not housetrained yet and is still getting used to house life altogether. |
| Jester Bull Terrier mix 3 years / Neutered Jester was originally in our care for over a year. Then, he found a great home. Unfortunately in April 2010 he had to be returned to us because his family had to move. Now, Jester is back to find a new great home. He loves people and he probably prefers to have people around opposed to other animals. He likes just about everyone but sometimes there's that one person or dog in the crowd that he doesn't like. We are not sure how he is with cats. He likes to swim and has plenty of energy to go along with it. He loves to sleep in bed with you, too. As you can see by the picture he loves really big toys. Jester is waiting for his second chance...can you give it to him? |
| Take a look at Jester in his video! |
| "Teenagers" German Shepherd / Collie / Lab 6 months Spayed/Neutered We originally got this group when they were pups. Some of them still haven't found a permanent home.

| Buddy American Staffordshire Terrier mix 3 years Buddy was originally in our care for over a year. He finally found a home but had to be returned to us a year later. His family was moving and could not take him. He is about 3 years old now. He is a very friendly boy and was around small children in his previous home. He loves people but does need a home without cats. He does fine with other dogs but would be fine as an only dog, too. He knows how to sit and shake and expects to get a treat for it. He likes to play fetch but doesn't always like to give the toy back. Sometimes he will pretend he is going to give it back and right when you reach for it he turns real quick and runs away. He will also catch the ball if you toss it up in the air. If you throw his ball in the water he jumps right in to get it. He can always make his foster family laugh because of all the funny facial expressions he makes. Buddy is waiting again for a home. Please give him a chance! |
| Jake German Shepherd mix 5 years / Neutered Jake was adopted out from us when he was a puppy. Now, five years later, he is back with us because his owners were moving. They could only take one of their dogs and did not choose Jake. Since he has been with us we have found that he is quite a gentle giant. He is a very sweet guy and loves attention. He has ignored the cats and has done fine with all the other dogs in his foster home. Even when the small dogs bark at him like they are tougher he pays no attention. Jake needs a fenced yard and all the love and attention he deserves. |
| Puppies Lab / Hound mix 11 weeks We recently rescued these pups from a local shelter. The black puppy is a girl and the other three are boys. They are active, playful and friendly little pups. They are not housebroken yet so a crate is highly recommended. |

| Dingo 9-10 weeks This little man was found wandering along the road. He was a bit on the skinny side when he was found, but is not having any problems eating now. He does great with other dogs and cats. He loves people, he will follow you everywhere!!! We really aren't sure what he is mixed with. He almost looks like he could be a brindle basenji, minus the curly tail??? If you have a guess, let us know! |
| Puppies Puppies Puppies We recently rescued this group of eight from a local shelter. They are all black and tan. We were told that mom was a black and tan coonhound/ lab mix. There are a few that have hound ears and long bodies. However, some of them look a little like Rottweilers, but we really are not sure what they are mixed with. Regardless of what in the world they are, they are friendly, playful and waiting to find their perfect home. |
| Zoe Boston Terrier mix Zoe recently came to us because she was abandoned. Her previous owners moved and left her and her puppies. Her puppies found homes with the people of that neighborhood but no one wanted Zoe. She is a sweet girl and gets along great with everyone. |
