Helping People Help Pets!
It’s pets and their humans that make difference! Our stats demonstrate how our community supports our mission. When you consider that the HSDC is not supported at the county, state or federal government level, it takes a lot of love and dedication from donors to support daily operations. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🚨 FINAL REPORT FILED: SUBJECT “GOOFY” 🚨
Case Duration: 9 Months
Investigating Officer: Foster Mom
Charges: Excessive sweetness. Chronic snuggling. Suspicious levels of good manners.
After a thorough 9-month investigation, we’re ready to release our findings:
Subject Identification:
Name: Goofy
Breed: Certified Sweetheart Pittie
Primary Motive: Love and companionship
Behavioral Evidence:
Exhibit A: Fully house trained and crate trained ✔️
Exhibit B: Walks politely on leash ✔️
Exhibit C: Gentle, calm, and respectful ✔️
Exhibit D: Known to snore like a trucker (audio evidence available upon request) ✔️
Exhibit E: Self-appointed squirrel patrol officer ✔️
Personality Assessment:
Goofy is everything sweet about the pittie breed—loving, affectionate, and full of heart. He warms up quickly and loves being close to his person. Once comfortable, his true identity emerges: a quirky, playful goofball who lives up to his name.
He loves snuggles, toys (especially balls and stuffies), treats of any kind, and the simple comfort of being home with his people.
Compatibility Findings:
• Could do well with older children
• Could live with a dog who matches his energy—or happily be your one and only
• Best in a cat-free home
Important Note from Investigating Officer:
“We’ll shoot it to you straight—Goofy is now our longest stay. Which means we know him better than anyone. There are no mysteries left. No surprises. Just a genuinely wonderful dog waiting for someone to see what we see every day.”
After 9 months in witness protection (foster care), Goofy is ready for his forever home.
Case status: OPEN
Suspect status: STILL WAITING
Next step: Meet Goofy and close this case for good
