Santa and Mrs. Claus Spread Holiday Cheer to Area Homeless Pets

Dak. This smart, playful two-year-old Labrador Retriever Mix comes with a bonus gift beyond being a fabulous dog – his adoption fee has been sponsored by an anonymous donor. Treats, toys, and attention are all ways to get debonair Dak to learn and show off his tricks. He already knows ‘sit,’ ‘down,’ ‘shake,’ and ‘stay,’ and loves to learn because he’s easily motivated. Dak is a people pleaser and adores being around people.

Sammi. Warming hearts with her affectionate nature, three-year-old Sammi is a domestic shorthair cat. She warms up quickly, flopping to her side for affection, and loves head scratches. She really doesn’t ask for much, just a soft bed, a sunny window, and a full belly. This dilute calico gal is full of purr-sonality and she’s been patiently waiting for a forever home since June.

Jonesie. Jonesie is a lovable and happy two-year-old mixed breed dog who also has his adoption fee sponsored by an anonymous donor. With his playful nature and love for long walks, Jonesie is the ideal companion for an active individual or family. While he is undecided about his feelings towards kids and cats, he has shown some hesitation around other dogs and is currently unsure about how to play or interact. However, with the help of an easy-going teacher dog, he has the potential to learn and thrive. Jonesie is quite smart and is quickly learning proper leash manners. He enjoys indulging in pig ears and tough chew treats.

Duffy. This six-year-old mixed breed dog is currently in foster care as she awaits her forever home. Duffy’s foster family says, “Duffy is a wonderful dog! She was hesitant at first, but she quickly warmed up to my family and me as soon as we arrived home. She enjoys taking walks and giving lots of kisses. She also loves to cuddle a lot! She would be an excellent addition to any family.”

Dutch. This charming four-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier Mix has a love for simple pleasures. Dutch has been searching for his forever home since December 2022. This brindle beauty has lots of love, energy, and snorts to offer his new family. He knows his basic commands and loves to go on walks. There’s not much that you need to do to make this boy happy. Dutch enjoys a tennis ball, belly rubs, a treat or two, and lots of opportunities to be by someone’s side.

Rio. This five-year-old American Staffordshire Mix as described by his favorite volunteer, “Meet Rio, the vibrant and lovable Staffordshire Terrier mix residing at HHS. This energetic canine exudes a zest for life that is simply contagious. Watch in awe as he darts around the yard, joyfully expressing his exuberance through playful sprints, leaps, and rolls. His lively antics are guaranteed to keep you entertained and on your toes. Rio can spring over three feet high from a standing position so he would benefit greatly from a securely fenced yard. He will play fetch, and return the ball each time. He loves squeaky toys. He knows to sit, stay, come. Most importantly he is an excellent walking companion. He walks well on a leash, eagerly exploring his surroundings. Rio prefers older respectful children and has lived with cats. He is completely housebroken. If you’re searching for a dog that brings an abundance of energy, playfulness, and a zest for life, look no further than Rio. Swing by The Heritage Humane Society today to meet this bouncy bundle of joy and find out why he’s the perfect match for your home and heart.”
