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!

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!

Meet Lucas! Lucas is a 3 year old, neutered male Shepherd mix.
THE CUTEST PUPPY FACED BOY!
Lucas is one of the staff favorites at HSHP! He was with us over a year ago and sadly returned due to the adopters no longer having time for him. Lucas loves people of all shapes and sizes! Though, it should be known that he may knock small children over. He loves most other dogs, but can have issues with other dogs that are too dominant.
He has kept his kennel cleaned while being here at the shelter.
This great boy will do wonderful in any home!

Meet Monday! She is a 1 year old, spayed female, Domestic Shorthair. Lets be honest, most Mondays are rough. But this Monday? She's the highlight of our week! This sweet girl came to us as a stray mama-to-be and handled her "Mom-day" era like an absolute pro! She raised four adorable kittens who have all found their forever home, and it's finally her turn! Since Monday was a stray, we don't know much about her past. She's gotten along with other cats, but we have not tested her with dogs yet. We recommend a meet and greet with the whole family prior to adoption. This sleek black beauty is the perfect mix of loving, social, and just the right amount of adventurous. She is already litter box trained and has been started on her vaccinations.
Here's what your week looks like with Monday
Mon - Fall in love instantly
Tues - Discover how sweet and friendly she is
Wed - Watch her explore every corner like a curious queen
Thur - Enjoy some play time with her favorite toys
Fri - Treat her to her favorite wet food
Sat - Wonder how anyone could have lived without her
Sun - Finally have some snuggles and relaxation
She's ready to finally get out of the shelter and into a home with her forever family! So stop dreading Monday - come out and adopt her instead!

Meet Buster! Buster is around 2 years old and is a male Chihuahua mix. He is not yet neutered.
A big dog in a small dog body! Buster likes to think he is a big bad dog, but really he is a sensitive little baby boy. Buster and his sister Stella were surrendered to HSHP for not fault of their own. They were rehomed to the surrendering owner, but they did not have the time to care for them. Buster loves other dogs and would do well to live with other dogs. He can be a little lap dog one minute and an independent king the next.
He is your typical little dog and does bark often at sudden sounds or people/animals he has not met.

Meet Stella! Stella is around 2 years old and is a female Chihuahua mix. She has recently been spayed.
Sweet as sugar! That's the perfect description of Miss Stella! She can be a little shy and vocal when meeting new people, but as soon as she meets you, she is all about being your little princess! Stella LOVES to be held and would do well in a home with other dogs and an owner who ready to have her in your lap more often than not!
She absolutely desires to be treated like the royal princess she is!
Stella came to HSHP along with her brother Buster! They appear to of had multiple homes and is looking for a palace that will not send her away ever again!

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!

Meet Danny! Danny aka Degenerate Dan is a 3 year old Pit Bull Mix. He has been neutered and is up to date on all his vaccines.
Danny is the sweetest boy ever. He absolutely loves to give and receive endless love and attention. He was dumped out in the country and brought to HSHP after he was found wandering around on the dirt road. Dan has been stellar since arriving at HSHP. He gets along great with other dogs and is very good with children as well.
We have introduced him to one of our office cats and he didn't seem to mind him at all. Now if a cat were to run away, we are not sure if he would chase after them.
We did learn that if a dog wants to fight with Danny, he will eventually get pushed to the point of retaliation. He is also very protective of his dog friends and if he hears they are in danger, he will come to their rescue.
He is the most loyal, goofy, loving dog and is perfect for most any home.
