Pets of the week

Who doesn’t love a snuggly shepherd?! Sarah is a 3-year-old German Shepherd looking for a fresh start. She came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Georgia when they no longer had space for her. There, Sarah had six beautiful babies, but all were at risk of euthanasia due to lack of space. We knew we could help Sarah and her pups, so they made the venture to Delaware! Shortly after arriving, Sarah let us know that she was over her puppies shark teeth and needed some TLC for herself. Since giving her kids up for adoption, Sarah has been happier than ever! While she is a friendly girl, she is true to her breed. The more time you spend with her, the more snuggly and loving she becomes. When she’s not melting into someone’s lap, Sarah is happy to explore outside. She loves going for long walks, learning new tricks, and making friends. Sarah has done well meeting other adult dogs, though we’d recommend dogs that can keep up with her size and energy!

Miss Piggy – HAP Wilmington

Looking for a runner, or a trackstar? Meet Miss Piggy! This sweet pocket rocket is just under 2 years old and full of life. Her backstory is a little up in the air, as she was gifted to someone only 3 days before arriving at HAP. Since her arrival, Piggy had a hard time adjusting to shelter life. She can get a bit overstimulated around other dogs, which presents through reactivity. However, once she is outside or cuddled up with people, she melts into a lovable girl. While we aren’t sure what her life was like before that, Miss Piggy is just happy to be making new friends! She greets everyone she meets with a very dramatic wiggle butt and adorable pibble smile. When she’s not snuggled up with humans, Piggy enjoys zooming around our fenced fields to get her energy out. She’s even a pro with the agility course! Miss Piggy already knows basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘paw,’ and already appears house-trained. If you’re looking for an energetic, loving girl, she just might be the fit for you!

Bama – HAP Stanton/Christiana

Meet Bama! This 5-year-old boy came to HAP from a high-intake shelter partner when they no longer had space for him. With his higher energy, Bama would thrive in an active home that can keep up with his love for adventure. Bama has spent time with children and has done beautifully, showing off his gentle nature and great manners. He’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly! While he still has plenty of energy for walks, hikes, and fun activities, he’s also mellowed with age and enjoys settling down for some quality snuggle time. Bama appears to be house-trained and already knows basic commands like “sit,” “paw,” and “down.” Bama would prefer to be the only pet in the home so he can soak up all the love and attention for himself, he’s a people-loving guy through and through! If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and well-mannered companion to join you on life’s adventures, Bama is ready to be your loyal sidekick!

Pony Boy – HAP Stanton/Christiana

Meet Pony Boy, our handsome little guy! This cutie pie came to HAP after he was found abandoned in a nearby park. Needless to say, he’s been through a lot in his life! Pony Boy has a hard time trusting people, given his past abandonment. When he does warm up, he can be a very sweet and snuggly guy! He loves to play, with his kitty buddy Zane or with a human friend! He can be a little rough, so we’ve been working on gentle paws, and he’s doing well! Pony Boy gets along okay with other cats though he can be a little clique-y with new cats! We don’t recommend children, as Pony Boy can be a little swatty. We aren’t sure how he’d do with dogs.

Lady Leap – HAP Stanton/Christiana

Meet Lady Leap, our guarded little lady. This quiet girl came to HAP as a very terrified stray, who had clearly been in survival mode for her entire life. It would be easier if she could tell us her past, but we could piece together that she had never known the comforts that so many take for granted. No soft beds, no warm home, no gentle touches, no love at all. Because of this, she has had her walls up with us for a while now, despite our continued efforts. We can see that she wants love and craves affection, but some past trauma or fear is holding her back from becoming the sweet girl we know she is. While in her foster home, after months of dedicated care and patience, she would seek out her human friends for attention, though she was always a little unsure if she was allowed to ask for affection. We know she deserves all the softness the world can offer, but we also know it will take a special person to be willing to give her that!

Princess – HAP Wilmington

Meet Princess, a girl that lives up to her name! This pretty lady was brought in to HAP as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past. We assume she had a home at one point, because she certainly knows how to enjoy the finer things in life! She demands to live a life of luxury, and who are we to give her any less? She loves yummy treats, cozy beds, and all the catnip her little paws can get a hold of! She enjoys being around people, but mostly just so they’ll coo over how beautiful she is! She will allow touches on her terms and her terms alone, but when she does, she is very affectionate!
