Starlight can be a nervous Nellie so we wanted to find her a home where she could relax and not have to deal with a lot of stress. Enter Wayne. Wayne’s had several Chihuahuas and knows their “quirks”. His last one died of old age not too long ago and he was looking for a new friend.
He took Starlight home for a 14-day trial adoption. On day one at his house they watched football together in the recliner.

This family was so great. They fell for Easton at our adoption event two weeks ago. When we explained that Easton needs time to warm up to people, they didn’t walk away but accepted him the way he is. Not every dog is a “just add water” type. Some need extra assurance and time before…
As the Holiday season approached, HPF asked if anyone was willing to foster a cat to free up space and ease the burden on the volunteers. Having been at the Adoption Center numerous times, I had become somewhat attached to Lynn. We agreed to foster her through the Holidays but we failed miserably. Once home,…
Thelma has a family now! Her new name is Izzy and here’s a picture of her hanging out with her new furry sibling and chillaxing in her very own plush bed. Her family reports “it’s like she’s always lived here!”. That’s music to our ears. Best wishes Izzy and family!
