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

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

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.
FREDDIE
Male, 9 months old, 13 lbs
Adoption fee: $650
Freddie was recently surrendered by his owner and is now looking for a patient, loving home that’s ready to embrace all the joys (and challenges) of puppyhood.
Freddie is good with other dogs, but his behavior around kids and cats is unknown. He’s kennel trained and doggie door trained, and while house training is still a work in progress, he’s a fast learner. He’s also working on learning leash skills.
This little guy is shy and timid at first, likely due to limited socialization early on, but once he warms up, he becomes a typical stubborn, snuggly dachshund. He loves belly rubs, toys (especially stuffies), and has a particular fondness for socks and shoes. He gets the zoomies at night and enjoys hanging out on the couch with his person. Freddie sleeps in a kennel in the bedroom and spends time in an x-pen when left alone during the day.
Freddie has a big bark and a big personality to match. His ideal home would be with someone who is home more often than not, has the patience to work on training, and is ready to match his stubborn streak with love and consistency. A home with another playful dog would be a great fit to help him burn off energy and build confidence.
Applications Closed - CYRUS
Male, 1 year old, 15 lbs
Adoption fee: $600
Cyrus is a friendly and affectionate boy who was recently surrendered by his owner.
He gets along well with dogs of all sizes, is great with kids, and has been reported to do well with cats. Cyrus is doggie door trained and walks nicely on a leash. House training is still a work in progress, but he’s making strides every day.
Cyrus is a true shadow dog—he loves being close to his person, whether it’s sitting next to you on the couch or sleeping on the pillow by your head. He’s playful with other dogs and tends to be submissive, making him a great fit for a multi-dog household. He enjoys chewing on toys and has a special love for stuffed animals. Car rides are another favorite activity.
His ideal home would be with someone who is home more often than not and has another playful dog to keep him company. Cyrus is ready to bring joy, cuddles, and companionship to the right home.
