Helping People Help Pets!

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.

Naomi is a 7-year-old Great Dane who has been waiting for her forever home since December 2025. She hasn’t made a stink about it, she knows her home will find her soon. She’s simply been patient, hopeful, and ready for the right person to find her.
She’s thoughtful by nature. Naomi takes time to learn the people around her. She watches, listens, and slowly decides where she belongs. But once she chooses you, that bond is unshakable. She becomes your shadow, your constant presence, your favorite part of coming home.
Naomi is expressive in the most endearing way. She “talks” through soft moans, gentle whines, and meaningful looks. She reminds you when meals are late, when it’s time for a walk, and when she’s due for affection. She carries her toys like prized possessions, enjoys a good game of fetch, and still brings joyful energy into everyday moments.
At night, she prefers to be close. Ideally in bed, tucked under the covers, perfectly content as long as she knows she’s safe and wanted. During the day, she seeks out connection, leaning into pets, asking for butt scratches, and soaking up every bit of attention she can get.
With other dogs, Naomi is calm, respectful, and socially intuitive. She reads the room, adjusts her energy, and genuinely wants harmony. She isn’t demanding or chaotic. She’s steady, gentle, and emotionally intelligent in a way that makes her easy to live with and impossible not to love.
Naomi isn’t searching for perfection. She’s searching for permanence.
She wants a home where routines are reliable, affection is consistent, and love doesn’t disappear. She wants someone who will see her not as “just another dog,” but as family.
If you’re looking for a companion who will love you deeply, follow you faithfully, and bring beautiful joy into your home every day, Naomi is waiting.
She’s ready to belong.
