Lonely Hearts Club

Give these animals a second glance!

Lonely Hearts Club Members are animals that have been at HSHP for over 30 days. In an effort to help them find homes, we have discounted their adoption fees!

While we are a no kill shelter and will not euthanize for space, it is not healthy for these animals to sit in a shelter setting for too long. Most animals will begin to decline in mental happiness which leads to physical deterioration. Some animals will begin to lose weight, hurt themselves trying to get out of their kennel, develop barrier reactivity, joint issues from being on concrete. We hate so see animals go through this horrible transition in life and want to do what we can to find them homes sooner rather than later.

Lonely Hearts Members

NORA

Meet Nora! Nora has been at HSHP since September, 10th. She is a Labrador x Heeler mix. She is 3 years old and already spayed!

Nora grew up on a farm where she spent the first 2-3 years of her life in an outdoor kennel with her siblings. Eventually the siblings developed littermate syndrome and began to fight one another and was the eventual reason behind them being surrendered to the shelter. Due to not seeing anything in the world other than the kennel on the farm, Nora is a bit shy with new people and situations. She is being very brave though and wants so badly to learn. She is constantly surprising us with her courage everyday. At first, we thought Nora would not be able to live around any other dogs. However, we learned Nora is BOY CRAZY! She loves to meet and play with male dogs! In fact, Nora would greatly benefit from having a male dog around to show her that life outside her bubble is not scary at all! Despite being untrained, Nora is very well behaved. She keeps her kennel clean here at the shelter and sits patiently while you leash her up.

Nora would be a great companion for someone and just needs to find the right mix to fit in with!

NEVADA

Meet Nevada! Nevada is around 3-4 years old and we believe she is a Pitbull Terrier x Australian Cattle Dog mix. She has been spayed!

Poor Nevada came to HSHP as a stray after she was found dumped at the local Dog Park here in Hays. She was scared and lost until a family pulled over to check on her. She immediately lit up at the sight of the children and was totally in love with them. We have learned that Nevada is not very fond of other dogs, but when it comes to children... She absolutely adores them. Nevada's favorite thing in life is her stuffy toys! She carries one with her everywhere she goes and loves to show them off to those who come see her. Nevada is just adorable and will make some family a very loving companion!

MARLEY

Meet Marley! Marley is a 1 year old German Shepherd x Labrador mix. She is not yet spayed. Marley was previously owned by an elderly person and could not keep up with the high energy Marley has.

Marley definitely needs a home with routine and structure. She can become a little more hectic if she is in a setting that is unpredictable (like the shelter). She is very sweet and smart. She would make a great project for someone who is willing to work on her training. Once she gets through a training routine, she is going to be an amazing and loyal pooch!

Marley does get along with dogs that are smaller than her and not so rough. She does prefer to be the one in charge and would do better in a home with submissive dogs. She has not been tested with cats yet and we are not sure how she will do with them.

We would prefer Marley not go to a home with small children as she can be a bit too much at the moment and may knock them down.

Marley just needs someone to see past her shelter jitters and see the potential she has!

OLGA

Meet Olga! Olga is around 10 years old and is a Domestic Short Hair cat. Olga is already spayed!

Olga came to HSHP as a stray and was in very rough condition. She had a very serious ear infection that caused half of her face to be swollen. We got her to the vet and were able to successfully treat the ear infection and remove polyps. We were told that the chances of the polyps growing back after a few years was possible.

Despite all of this, Olga is still very loving and has quite the personality. She was adopted, but returned after she was being too noisy in the night time. Here at the shelter, Olga is rather lazy and prefers to sleep in her cozy bed.

She now has been sitting in her condo for too long and we would love to find her a home that lets her be lazy and playful! Olga appears to be the kind of cat that gets along well with other animals! She will be a wonderful companion for any home!

MIDNIGHT

Meet Midnight! Midnight is a 5 year old neutered Domestic Shorthair cat, with a personality to make you fall in love!

Midnight was surrendered to us when his owner's failing health led to her no longer being able to care for him. He was a bit shy at first, but has now warmed up into a sweet and gentle boy. Midnight enjoys relaxing with his favorite people and napping the day away.

Midnight has lived with cats, dogs, and kids before, and did great with them all. He's just a down to earth fella that is ready to be back in a home where he can lounge in style!
