Canine Companions Available for Adoption
For information about our
Adoption Policies and Requirements, please click here.
We
try to keep our animal pages as current as possible, however, animals
are
adopted on a daily basis so availability changes frequently. If you see
an animal you are
interested in, or want to check on other available animals, please
call us or come in during our Adoption Center Hours!
Wish
you could take them all home, but can't?
You can still provide our canine residents with all of the comforts of home while they are
staying at HSCC
by
sponsoring their care through a Guardian Angelship. Click
here to become a Guardian Angel. If
you see this icon next to a dog below, click on it to see their Guardian Angel.
