THREE MONTHS TOO LONG🐶🤎🐾 This handsome gu

THREE MONTHS TOO LONG🐶🤎🐾 This handsome guy has been patiently waiting to find his family for over three months! For day 9 of our 12 Days of HAP, meet Garth!

Ready to have some fun?! Garth is an 11-month-old Cattle Dog mix who could not be more true to the breed, as he has a go-go-go personality! Garth came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Alabama when they no longer had space for him. Despite being at the shelter, this guy is full of life! In true heeler fashion, he is a high-energy, active pup looking for a job to do. Garth would make the perfect running or walking buddy, as he loves spending time outside. He LOVES toys and is very food-motivated, making the training possibilities endless! When he’s not chasing a toy around our fenced fields, he can usually be found patiently waiting by his kennel door for some attention.

Garth can be too excitable for some other dogs, as he takes his herding job very seriously, but has made a few canine friends who can keep up with him! After some exercise and play, he melts into a laid-back snuggle bug and absolutely LOVES his belly rubs. Garth’s already knows some basic commands like sit, touch, down, stay, wait, and recall. Recently, he’s even been learning some agility skills! As a teenage pup, we are working on his manners with jumping and mouthiness, though he always means well. Due to this, he would probably do best in a home with older kids who can understand he means no harm and is still learning how to be the best pup he can be!

⭐️Garth is available at HAP Rehoboth Beach! If interested in adopting visit humaneanimalpartners.org/adopt or click the link in our bio!

425 DAYS IN THE SHELTER 🐈‍⬛💚 It’s day

425 DAYS IN THE SHELTER 🐈‍⬛💚 It’s day 8 of our 12 Days of HAP series and we are reintroducing our sweet & sassy boy, Ronitas!

Meet our handsome black and white kitty, Ronitas! He came to HAP in October 2023 when he was found as a stray. We attempted to find his owners, but sadly no one came looking for him. Our vet estimates he is about 5 years old and has previously lived in a home, based on his demeanor. Ronitas has a tough exterior and may act like a big boy at times, but spend a few moments with him and he is a sweet man!

Ronitas loves play and chase after wand toys. He often behaves more like a dog than a cat, preferring to tackle and wrestle with any toy that crosses his path. Once he’s released some playful energy, he shows off his affectionate side. Ronitas enjoys petting and neck scratches. While he can be picked up, he’s not a fan of being carried around or held for long periods of time. Ronitas can be too rough for most other cats, so a home as your only kitty would be best!

💛To help Ronitas find his forever home, his adoption fee has been waived!

⭐️Ronitas is available for adoption at HAP Wilmington! If interested in adopting, visit humaneanimalpartners.org/adopt or click the link in our bio!

HELP FIND TONIC A HOME 🐶🧡🐾This #HAPFoster

HELP FIND TONIC A HOME 🐶🧡🐾This #HAPFosterFriday we are reintroducing our handsome boy, Tonic, for day 7 of our 12 Days of HAP!

Tonic originally came to HAP as a puppy and was swiftly adopted. He was returned to the shelter at no fault of his own, after being severly attacked by another dog in the home. Unfortunately, he had a hard time adjusting back to the shelter environment. While we searched for a foster home to help him decompress, Tonic thrived in HAP’s Doggy Day Out program! Take a look what our volunteers had to say about him:

🧡”I took Tonic out, he knows how to tug on those heartstrings!! We went on a long walk and he was so good, just wanted to sniff everything! We got him a pup cup and went back to the house to play with some toys. He slept with his head on my lap the entire ride back to the shelter. I hope he gets adopted soon he is such a sweet boy!” - Brooke

🧡”We had a fantastic time with Tonic today. This boy is very special and I hope he finds he family soon! We took him to the River Front for a long walk. He wanted to say hi to every woman and child we passed and got some good pets from them. We ended our outing enjoying Starbucks and sitting in the sun. He was unsure of Gavin (adult male) at first, but warmed up snuggling him and giving him kisses! Not sure if sunbathing or the pup cup was Tonic’s favorite part of the outing.” - Taylor

🧡”Tonic did so well! He never barked at anything or anyone. I took him to my apartment, he almost immediately grabbed a toy and jumped up on the couch with my roommate, getting love and chewing on a toy. He settled faster than any other dog I’ve taken home! I think he’d be a great playful dog, who also loves some cuddly couch time!!” - Sawyer

⭐️Tonic is currently in a foster home and available for adoption by-appointment! If interested in adopting, visit humaneanimalpartners.org/adopt or click the link in our bio!

TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE🐱❤️👭It’s day 6 o

TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE🐱❤️👭It’s day 6 of our 12 Days of HAP series and we are introducing two girls that would love a home together!

Meet Smokey and Bandit, our 2-year-old sisters! These girls came to HAP in February from a hoarding case, so this has been a big and scary change for them. We quickly arranged for these babies to spend some time in foster, to help socialize them in a more relaxing, calm environment than the shelter. Now that they are back, they have started to settle in to their quiet room together!   Smokey is the more outgoing of the two, though she can be shy at first. She enjoys playing, so she can usually be won over by some playtime! Bandit tends to be more of the observer, she likes to hang back on the sidelines while her sister takes the lead. After some time, they are both super sweet girls who love to hang out with their people friends! Smokey and Bandit both do well with other cats, but we recommend they go to a home with no dogs and no children.

⭐️Smokey & Bandit are a bonded pair, seeking a home together! They are available at HAP Stanton/Christiana location. If interested in adopting, visit humaneanimalpartners.org/adopt or click the link in our bio!
