Can't adopt but want to help? Please contact [email protected] to find out about sponsorship, fostering, and other ways you can help this animal! Please note that financial sponsorship will be applied to the specific animal you indicate unless it is not needed, at which time we will let you designate it for another HT animal of your choice.



You can save animals like Rocky by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters, so that they have more time to find a permanent family. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please check out ourinformation about fostering animals.

After many years as someone’s pet, Rocky was turned into a local shelter due to financial problems. The poor boy had only ever lived in one home since he was a puppy and this certainly wasn’t what he had planned for his retirement years. One look at his face and we knew we had to help him! Our boy Rocky is a professional cuddler and he’s looking for his true forever home where he doesn’t have to worry about starting over again with yet someone new. He is a special boy who is extremely loving – his favorite spot is on your lap or right next to you! Besides cuddling, his favorite past times include sunning himself on the deck and barking at squirrels. He is easy-going and friendly with people and he’s housebroken (he has not had a single accident since coming to his foster home). He walks well on a leash. He loves people of all ages. We are looking for a special home for this great little guy. He will need to be an only pet. He really wants to be Number One in your house and your heart!

WE NEED HELP WITH ROCKY'S MEDICAL EXPENSES! Upon entering into foster care, we realized that Rocky was very sick – he had terrible pneumonia which required several days of hospitalization. We weren’t sure he would make it. Thankfully, he did and is no worse for the wear! Next up for this cute boy is a much needed dental cleaning and extraction – boy does this boy know how to have some fun!

Between the hospitalization and the upcoming dental work, we need all the help we can get to cover his bills. We’d like to take care of all of his medical needs so he can get back to work – after all, he is a professional cuddler with lots of waiting customers!
