Homeward bound pet of the week: Annie Oakley
Fast & Furriest December 18, 2022
Meet Annie Oakley, a 7 month old, 35 lb. mountain feist who sports the most beautiful brindle coat. Annie was surrendered by her owner who was being deployed and could not take her. Although this young girl was confused, her enthusiasm is showing more each day. She loves to walk on a leash and would guess she’d make a good hiking partner. She is a wiggle butt from the word “Go!” Sound like your kind of girl?

Homeward Bound Pet Of The Week: Petey
Fast & Furriest May 9, 2021
This handsome boy, Petey, is 44 lbs. of love and snuggles. Petey’s sordid past does not keep him from smiling at everyone he meets! He is
house trained, enjoys walking on a leash, chewing on squeak toys and just hanging out next to you. Petey would love to be able to run and play but because he is heartworm positive, his activity level must be kept to a minimum for the next few months. Not to worry about the treatment expense, HBPR takes care of that. Our goal is to get him healthy and a forever home.
