Story

This handsome guy is King, a boxer/mastiff mix around 2 yearsold. He and 7 other dogs (including Precious who is also up for adoption) were confiscated by animal control for cruelty and neglect. They were all living on short chains with no access to water or shelter and they were only being fed sporadically. We have "before" pictures of him -he was nothing but skin and bones, filthy dirty and full of hook worms and fleas. Despite this, his tail never stopped wagging -he seems to be very grateful to have been saved. After being treated for everything and being fed high quality food multiple times a day, King is now healthy and at a good weight and is down to just one meal a day. King is really a nice dog but at this time, we are going to recommend he be an only dog. Because he was bascially starved almost to death, he needs to be fed carefully and should be adopted by someone who can handle a strong dog. He is very friendly but we do not know how he would react if he felt threatned by another dog, especially if there was food around. For this reason, we are also not recommending him for a home with small children. This could easily change over time where he wouldn't feel the need to resource guard but there is also the chance he might always feel the need to do this. He suffered a trauma and is honesly, lucky to be alive. We really believe he will thrive in the right home. He is up to date with shots, neutered, negative for heartworms/on prevention, and crate trainefd.

Story

This is Remi, a beagle mix around two years old. She was dumped at a good samaritan's home that wanted to keep her but they have chain link fence that she was able to scale and they live on a busy street and were concerned she might get out and injure herself so they brought her to us to find a new home. You will not find a dog more outgoing and affectionate than Remi. She loves everyone she meets and will give you hugs. She would do best in active home and would be the perfect jogging partner for someone. She loves people of all ages and loves kids. As already noted, she can climb a chain link fence so she will need a privacy fence or be leashed walked. She is a little particular with other dogs. She will chase small animals of any kind so no small dogs or cats. She seems to be OK with larger male dogs as long as they are submissive. She would be perfectly content being the only dog. She is such a sweet heart -we know the perfect home is out there for her. She is spayed, up to date with shots, negative for heartworms/on prevention and crate trained.

Story

This sweet girl is Mazy, a 1 year old AB mix. She came to us from animal control as a stray. She came in with a severe head wound -it looks as though someone hit her in the head with a blunt object, likely a shovel. It has now healed but she will always have a rasied scar from it. Depsite what happened to her, Mazy is probably one of the friendliest dogs on the planet. She is truly a love bug and is simply happy being where ever the people are -it would not be surprising if she could be an emotional support dog. She is good with pets and likes children. She is such a lovely dog, we would really love for her find the best home. Mazy is up to date with shots, spayed, on heartworm prevention and crate trained.

Story

Ice Cube was adopted to a loving home with kids -they adored him. Sadly, the husband was transferred with his job and they could not find housing that would allow a dog Ice Cube's size and they were forced to sadly return him. They were heartbroken about it. His original story: This awesome boy is Ice Cube - an American bulldog/boxer blend around 2-3 years old. He was picked up shivering to death in the cold by animal control and not reclaimed. It has taken us some time to nurse Ice Cube back to health. He was so skinny, his back was protruding and you could see everyone of his ribs. After months of TLC, we nursed him to to health! After everything he has been through, you would assume he would be leary of people but he is quite the opposite. He loves people and he is happiest when someone hugs him and gives him tons of affection. He would be great for a home with kids he could play with -he likes to be where ever the people are. He is good with submissive dogs -he would not do well with a dominant male or another dog that is unruly or territorial. He would not start an altercation but he will not allow himself to be picked on and would defend himself if he thought he needed; he is untested with cats. He is very smart and learns commands easily. He is up to date with shots, neutered, negative for heartworms/on prevention and housebroken If you would like to give Ice Cube the forever home he deserves, please submit an adoption application at www.myhstc.orgAdoption fee is $85 and includes all veterinary careWe prescreen all applicants prior to a meeting.

Story

This is Lady Bug, a patterdale mix less than a year old. Lady Bug's origin story is truly horrific...a neighbor heard a gun shot next door in the middle of the night and went out to investigate. The man next door was heavily intoxicated and shot his own puppy in the jaw. The man was yelling obesentities that he was going to go ahead and kill the puppy and the neighbor begged him not to, that they would take the puppy. The man agreed but said if the puppy ever came back he would "finish the job". The neighbors took the puppy and would like to have kept her but were worried about her safety should the man spot her again. They brought her to us. Poor Lady Bug must have been in inscrutiating pain -her jaw was barely hanging on. Depsite that, her tail never stopped wagging and she allowed our vet to stitch her up so she could recover enough to endure a more permanent solution. About 6 weeks later, Lady Bug underwent intense surgery to fix her jaw permanently. Thankfully the surgery was a complete success -other than some scars, you would never know what had happended to her, she has made a full recovery and is now looking for her happy ending! Lady Bug is super friendly and energetic. She needs to go to an active home - she would make a great jogging partner for someone! She loves everyone she meets but she might be too much for very small children -she would never do it on purpose but she might accidently knock a very small child over. Older children would be great! She is also good with other dogs, untested with cats. Lady Bug is up to date with shots, negative for heartworms/on prevention, spayed and crate trained.
