Meet Aidan (formerly known as ‘Blaze’). He was one of many fortunate animals rescued from a hoarding situation by Homeless Pets Foundation about a year ago.

Big boy Nixon has found (another) great home! [His first adoption didn’t work out because the 3-year old in the house couldn’t get used to a dog 5 times her size!] But the 2nd time seems to be the charm for this kid-loving furball. We have updates from the family that he is well behaved…
From homeless to happy. Hulk, now called Hank, got a loving set of people-parents and two canine companions out of this deal. It’s rewarding to help our community’s homeless animals this way. Thank you for supporting adoption!
