#HWACAlumni Reef is one spunky girl. She's always ready for fishing, hiking, or just down to the docks! She is as much of a Velcro dog as any other heeler. She brings joy to anyone who interacts with her. Being extremely food-motivated made her a charm to train!

Meet our Pet of the Week: Polly! 🐶🩷 Polly has a plethora of personality! Polly will need a home with no children under 12, no cats, and a secure fenced area where she can run and play. A dog-to-dog meet-and-greet is required before adoption!

#HWACAlumni Meet Koa! He’s been adjusting to his new home so well! Koa is a playful little guy who would happily play all day long. He loves all of his toys, but his duck is his favorite. Koa loves to cuddle with Mom and Dad and watch TV with them.

#HWACAlumni Meet Maple! She is just the sweetest girl and so incredibly full of life. She loves playing with both people and other dogs, and she’s a total people person. She can be a little timid when meeting someone new, but once she warms up, all she wants to do is play!
