The HTDR Process

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

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.

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.
JACK
Male, 13 years old, 15 lbs
Adoption fee: $300
Jack is a sweet, easygoing boy who was recently surrendered by his owner and is now looking for a loving home where he can truly thrive.
He gets along well with other dogs and older children. His behavior around cats is unknown. Jack is house trained, kennel trained, leash trained, and even knows how to use a doggie door.
Jack’s personality is a wonderful mix of affectionate and independent. He loves attention, enjoys hanging out on the couch, and will happily follow you around the house. At the same time, he knows when he needs his own space. His tail is always wagging, and he’s happiest when he’s near his people.
He enjoys being outside and exploring, and he rides great in the car. Jack loves food and treats, and he finds comfort in having another dog around. He can sleep in his kennel or with his person, and while he may whine a bit when you leave, he does settle down.
Jack does have a grade 4 heart murmur and takes daily medication, but it doesn’t slow him down or affect his joyful spirit.
His ideal home would be with someone looking for a companion dog who is home more often than not and with another friendly dog in the home.
BAILEY
Female, 9 years old, 10 lbs
Adoption fee: $460
Bailey is a beautiful girl who was recently surrendered by her owner and is now searching for a patient, loving home where she can feel safe and thrive.
She does well with other dogs but is not compatible with cats. Her behavior around children is unknown. Bailey is house trained with a dog door and kennel trained. She loves walks and does well on a leash.
Bailey is timid and will take time to warm up, but once she feels comfortable, she’s incredibly sweet and loyal. She loves being near her person and will happily be your shadow. However, she does not like to be picked up, so she’ll need a home that respects her boundaries and understands her needs.
She enjoys attention and can get a bit jealous of other dogs, though she is playful with them. Bailey loves toys—the bigger the better—and likes to destroy them. She has a strong prey drive. She finds comfort in her kennel, which she considers her safe space.
Her ideal home would be with someone who is home more often than not and can offer her the patience and stability she needs to adjust. A home with another playful dog would be a great fit to help her feel more confident and secure.
