ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🐾 SHELTER MEDICINE SPOTLIGHT: PUGSLEY
Pugsley came to us with mild respiratory symptoms that initially improved with treatment. But shortly after, he became extremely lethargic and weak, stopped eating, developed a fever and anemia, and began experiencing intermittent neurological symptoms. Despite supportive care, he continued to decline.
Our veterinary team suspected Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a serious disease that develops when a common feline coronavirus mutates within an individual cat. Thanks to donated medication from our cat caretakers, Pugsley was able to begin a treatment trial—and thankfully, he’s starting to improve.
His treatment can last 12 weeks, so Pugsley still has a long road ahead, but we’re hopeful for his recovery. ❤️
If Pugsley’s story has touched your heart, you can help make a difference for him and the many other animals in our care who need medical treatment, supportive care, and time to heal. Every donation helps us give these animals the care they need to get back on their paws.

🐾 HAPPY ENDING: MIRA! 🐾
Formerly known as Dragonfruit, Mira found her forever family in May 2025—and she’s been keeping everyone on their toes ever since! 💕
Mira was adopted as both a companion for her family and for their senior dog, Milo, who had become despondent after losing his beloved “sister,” Mayday, to osteosarcoma.
Today, Mira is a tornado of energy, scary smart, and quite the social butterfly! After coming to HSDC from Kentucky and overcoming parvo with the help of our incredible staff and foster families, she’s grown into a strong, healthy brindle ball of chaos and love.
We’re so happy to see this beautiful girl thriving in her forever home—and even happier that she and Milo found each other. Congratulations, Mira! 🐶💗 ...

💕 Meet Dolly! 💕
If you're looking for a petite little princess to bring some sweetness into your life, 5-year-old Dolly might be your girl. At just 7.4 pounds, she's small enough to fit almost anywhere—but she has plenty of personality to fill a room. 🥰
Dolly is a sweet, gentle girl who enjoys the company of other dogs and absolutely LOVES a soft, round dog bed to curl up in. She's partly housetrained and a fast learner, too!
And yes, she's named after the one and only Dolly Parton. 🎶
We think our Dolly has the same kind of sweetness and charm as her namesake—although she's probably more interested in a cozy bed than working 9 to 5.
Dolly isn't a fan of loud noises or getting too hot, so she's looking for a calm, comfortable home where she can settle in and be the princess she was meant to be.
Could Dolly be the little lady you've been looking for? Give this sweet girl a chance to find her forever home. ❤️ ...
