Lonely Hearts Club

Please Give Us 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.


PLEASE NOTE: SOME OF THESE ANIMALS MAY ALREADY BE ADOPTED!

This page can sometimes fall behind on adoptions that have already taken place during the week. Please make sure you look at the Adoptable Animals tab at the top to see if a certain Lonely Heart Member has been adopted or not! You can also give us a call or email to double check as well!

MARLEY

Meet Marley! Marley is a 1 year old, spayed female, German Shepherd / Labrador mix. 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! 

LL COOL J

Meet Jay! Jay is a 2 year old Boxer mix. He has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccines! 

Jay Baby is our sweet boy that came from a pretty poor living situation. He was part of an intentional litter of puppies that the owner just never rehomed. The puppies grew up in he home and never recieved proper care, training, or socialization. Some how Jay and one of his brothers were able to get away and eventually Jay was caught by Animal Control. The owner never did try to reclaim him which was a blessing for Jay. 

We have been taking it slow with Jay as everything has been new for him. He is doing extremely well and has never shown us any signs of aggression. He is afraid of sudden and loud sounds or movements which can cause him to want to bolt. However, he is learning that with safe people, he does not need to be so afraid. 

With the right home and gentle guidance, Jay is going to become the most wonderful and loyal dog anyone could ever hope for!  

CHARLIE

Meet Charlie! Charlie is a 1 year old Medium Mix Breed. He is currently an un neutered male. 


Charlie came to HSHP as a stray through Animal Control. He was extremely underweight and looking for anyone to help him. Since being at HSHP, Charlie has gained a hunky amount of weight as well a hunky attitude towards strangers. He is a very good boy once he gets to know you, but just needs an adopter who is willing to allow him to get to know you first! 

Charlie is going to need to be the only animal in the home. He does not like other dogs and has a high prey drive. Due to these behaviors, it would be too dangerous to allow him to live with other dogs/cats. 

gemini

Meet Gemini! 

We like to call her "Jimmy"! Gemini is an 8 year old female cat that has already been spayed. 


Gemi is one of the staff favorites in the cat room. She is beyond sweet and very affectionate. Gemi loves kids and is always keen on receiving endless love from people. She did live with another cat before coming to HSHP, but if you ask her, she would prefer to live along or with another cat that does not invade her personal space too much. 

She would also prefer not to live with any canines. Gemi does need to be fed a special diet or else she does suffer from issues involving her anal glands. We will be very strict on ensuring she is fed something like Science Diet which has been very beneficial to her booty health! 


Don't let her age or booty problems stop you from adopting one of the most precious cats at HSHP! 

Jethro

Meet Jethro!  FIV POSITIVE

Jethro is a 9 year old KING! and has already been neutered! 


This is another staff favorite at HSHP. Jethro LOVES humans and wants nothing more than to be constantly by their side or in their arms. However, Jethro HATES dogs and dislikes other cats. He will need to live in a home with no other animals. 

Despite having an FIV positive test, Jethro is extremely healthy and was checked out by Dr. Meier who gave him two thumbs up! He is stunning and has the softest fur ever! 

Jethro is so desperate for human love, he has begun to try and sprint out of the cat room door to follow us wherever we go. 

Lunna

Meet Lunna! (Pronounced Luna) 

Lunna is a 3 year old Doberman x Collie mix. She has not yet been spayed! 


Lunna and her brother, Apollo, joined HSHP after their owners had to move to a place where they could not join. Lunna is a very sweet and goofy girl! She loves to have her picture taken and often sticks her tongue out in them. She loves children of all ages and especially loves going to the dog park and making new doggy friends! 

At HSHP you will often see Lunna and her brother Apollo peeking out their kennels waiting for a family to choose them to either go out and play or adopt them into their 


She may be a big chonky girl, but Lunna is a fantastic family dog!

Apollo

APOLLO! 

Apollo is a 3 year old male that has not yet been neutered. He is a Doberman x Collie mix! 


Apollo and his sister, Lunna, came to HSHP after his owners moved to a place he could not join them. Apollo is a great dog and some of the staff are beginning to say he is their favorite dog. This handsome boy is absolutely great with other dogs and children. He is a little fat, but he is working on his fitness and has been losing weight! 

Apollo does need a home that will ensure his ears are taken care of as he does have a proneness to yeast. If this is not taken care of, he does become very uncomfortable and yelps if you touch them roughly. 


An absolute bomb proof dog for the whole family to enjoy, Apollo is waiting for a great family to snatch him up!
