The HTDR Process
Intake
Intake
Intake
Our dogs come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are from neglectful situations while others are from loving owners that can no longer care for them.
Foster
Intake
Intake
Our carefully selected foster homes cater to the needs of each dog, provide stability, safe housing and love for the dog to decompress and be coached where necessary.
Vet
Intake
Rehome
All veterinary needs are addressed on an individual basis. All dogs are dewormed, Heartworm tested, Microchipped, Vaccinated (Bordetella, Dhppv, Rabies), Spayed / Neutered and assured to have proper dental cleaning.
Rehome

Rehome
Only when the dog has fully recovered from vetting, behaviors and needs have been assessed properly and training addressed, is a dog listed for adoption.
SCARLETT
Female, 1.5 years old, 18 lbs
Adoption fee: $550
Scarlett came to us as an owner surrender and she’s a happy, energetic girl who loves people and thrives on attention. She’s friendly, affectionate, and a total snuggle bug once she picks her person. True to form, she’s a shadow dog who wants to be involved in everything you’re doing—and preferably right on top of you while you’re doing it.
She’s very smart, curious, and fearless, which means she’s always looking for her next adventure. Scarlett loves toys (especially the kind she can destroy), enjoys hard bones, plays fetch, and even likes doggie puzzle games. She rides well in the car and is house trained, doggie door trained, leash trained, and kennel trained. She’s good with older children and can do well with other dogs with proper introductions, but due to her jealous, alpha personality, she needs to be the only dog in the home. She is not a fit for homes with cats.
Scarlett will keep you laughing—and on your toes. If she isn’t mentally and physically challenged, she’ll happily invent her own fun, which may or may not involve trouble. She needs an active, experienced dachshund owner who understands strong personalities and has the time and energy to keep up with her.
Her ideal home is one where she can be the center of attention, soak up love, and stay busy with a family who enjoys an engaged, spirited, and affectionate dog.
PEPPER
Female, 3.5 years old, 11 lbs
Adoption fee: $600
Pepper came to us as an owner surrender. She’s shy and timid at first and will bark at new people until she feels secure. Trust doesn’t come quickly for her, but once it does, she is an incredibly sweet, loving, and devoted companion. Pepper is a true shadow dog and lap dog who wants to be wherever you are, preferably under the covers at night, pressed right up against you.
She’s smart, curious, and observant. Pepper enjoys going for walks, spending time outside, and exploring her surroundings. She’s house trained, doggie door trained, and leash trained, but she’s not a fan of being kenneled. Car rides aren’t her thing either. Toys don’t really interest her right now, but another playful dog definitely does—she does well with other dogs and would love a canine friend to help build her confidence.
Pepper will need a patient, experienced home that understands shy dogs and respects her boundaries. She is not a good fit for a home with children or cats. She also needs someone who can help her work on not jumping off furniture and keep the trash safely away from her because she loves to dig into it if given an opportunity. She is also very clever and has learned how to push a chair to reach the table.
Her ideal home is calm, predictable, and loving, with someone home more often than not, a backyard to enjoy, and another friendly dog to show her the ropes.
