What does an HPF volunteer choose when her family tells her to pick out a birthday gift herself? To rescue a dog of course! Mary chose our own Tink (who she actually named too, back when he first entered our program – so maybe she knew then he was destined to be hers?)
Tink was born with a birth defect no one had corrected and recently had to have one of his front legs removed. He’s recovering like a champ – in the comfort of his new home with Mary and family. Congrats to the Stockstills and thank you for volunteering AND adopting!

We’d taken in an older dog who had a laundry list of quirks. We felt the stars would have to align in order for us to find the right adopter. We fretted. We texted. We reached out to other rescue groups and tried to call in favors from friends who owed us one. We were…
Congratulation to Cornsilk who generated a lot of interest because of his extreme cuteness but was a bit tricky to place because of his quirks. He was rescued from a hoarder and did NOT have a happy life there. As a result he fears women, children and things that go bump in the night. Enter…
This gentleman (with some help from his sis) came by to adopt a friend for himself and his black lab. They chose Tillie as the perfect playmate. But they could hear Tiggie crying from her cage during the meet-and-greet. Sis said, “You know you can’t leave that sad sister here!” So it became a package…
We adopted Sylvester just recently, and as you can see from the picture, he is feeling right at home. His new best friend is a toddler who asks about him as soon as she wakes up every morning. They play ball together every day, and he is always happy to help clean up whenever she…
Dogs are surrendered by their owners for many reasons, most often not because the dog did anything wrong. Kris was surrendered after his owner started having to travel for work and felt guilty leaving Kris in boarding so much. Kris came into our program Monday night and was adopted in 12 hours without even getting…
