🦇 HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN FROM BATDOG! 🐾

Kodiak is looking pretty darn adorable in his Batdog costume, and we think this handsome little guy deserves a happily ever after worthy of a superhero! At just 7 months old, Kodiak is still growing up in the shelter. Our biggest wish is for him to find his forever family before he celebrates his first birthday!

Kodiak is a German Shepherd mix, currently around 30 pounds, and expected to weigh a little over 40 pounds when fully grown. He may not have the classic pointy GSD ears, but his adorable little lumpy, folded ears give him plenty of character! They were caused by a traumatic hematoma, but after monitoring them as he grew, they were determined to be purely cosmetic.

This little superhero has quite a few skills under his utility belt! He's housetrained, crate trained, and clearly doesn't mind dressing up for the occasion. He would do best in a home with children ages 6 and up and gets along with most other dogs. We also think he could do well with cats and would be happy to arrange a cat test for an approved adopter.

Kodiak's story started in a dump, where he was discarded alongside his siblings like literal trash. Denali and Sitka have already found their forever families, but Kodiak and Kenai are still waiting for their own happy endings.

Could you be the hero who saves the day for our little Batdog? 🦇🐶

Smokey is an adorable 6-year-old boy with the cutest little bobtail! He's been a faithful office manager here at HSOC for years, but he's ready to trade in his front office duties for a forever home!

Smokey is a friendly guy who enjoys being pet, and his favorite thing in the world is finding a sunny spot in the front office to soak up those warm rays.

We do want to be upfront about a few things when it comes to Smokey's care. He requires prescription food for sensitive stomach and urinary issues, which his adopter will need to continue providing. Even with his special diet, Smokey experiences frequent vomiting, so a home with hardwood floors would probably be the best fit.

We know these things may mean Smokey needs a little extra understanding, patience, and cleanup along the way, but he deserves a loving home just as much as any other cat.

Could you be the person willing to give this sweet bobtail boy the home he's been waiting for?

🚨 EMERGENCY MEDICAL INTAKE 🚨

Willard came to us with a painful, ruptured eye. Sadly, his owner was unable to afford the medical care he desperately needed and so Willard made his way to us.

We didn't waste any time getting Willard the care he needed. He underwent emergency surgery to remove his eye, and now this brave boy can finally begin his journey toward healing.

Emergency medical cases like Willard's are only possible because of the generosity of our supporters. Veterinary care is expensive, and every donation helps us say YES when an animal needs us most.

Please keep Willard in your thoughts as he begins his road to recovery. If you're able to contribute toward his medical expenses, every donation, no matter the size, helps give him the care he deserves! ❤️

🦂 DON'T BE SCARED! It's not really a scorpion... It's just Archie-Scottie! 😂🐾

This big, handsome goofball is dressed up for Halloween, but what he'd REALLY love is a forever family!

Archie-Scottie is about 70 pounds of lovable fluff, believed to be a Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix. He's housetrained, crate trained, great with people, gentle with kids, and super smart!

He answers to both Archie AND Scottie (long story!), so you can call him either one or give him a whole new name. We don't care! We just want him to find a family who will love him forever this time. ❤️

A few things to know:

🐾 Not a good match for another large male dog.
🐾 May do well with a female or smaller male dog, depending on compatibility.
🐾 Cat compatibility is unknown, but we can test for an approved adopter.
🐾 Meet-and-greet required for resident dogs.

This sweet boy has been waiting long enough. Don't let Halloween pass without making him part of your family!

Meet Humphrey! 🎃

At just 3 years old, this sweet, petite boy has already overcome so much. After being dumped on a farm and left to fend for himself, Humphrey is more than ready to leave his past behind. He's not meant for outdoor living. He dreams of cozy naps, soft beds, and fuzzy blankets.

When Humphrey first arrived, he tended to stay in the background. But as he's grown more comfortable, his personality has started to shine. These days, he'll actually come looking for attention and happily soak up all the pets you're willing to give.

He even tolerates being dressed in costume!

Humphrey does well with other cats, especially calm, easygoing companions who respect his space. He's a gentle, quiet boy with so much love to give.

All Humphrey needs now is a forever family to keep helping his confidence grow. Could that be you?

At 6 years old, Winnie is ready for a new beginning.

Winnie came to us through no fault of her own when her beloved owner had to move and was unable to take her along. We know Winnie was deeply loved, and sometimes life puts people in heartbreaking situations beyond their control.

Despite all the changes in her world, Winnie has adjusted beautifully to shelter life. She loves greeting visitors, happily soaks up attention, and never turns down a good petting session. She’s the kind of cat who makes you feel welcome the moment you meet her.

During her intake, Winnie tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). While that diagnosis may sound scary, FIV does not mean Winnie can’t have a long, happy, fulfilling life.

FIV-positive cats can live for many years and enjoy all the things other cats do like playing, lounging in sunny spots, getting spoiled, and being deeply loved. FIV is primarily spread through deep bite wounds, so it is generally not transmitted through sharing food or water bowls, litter boxes, grooming, cuddling, or simply living together. This means FIV-positive cats can often safely share a home with other friendly cats.

Winnie is so much more than her diagnosis. She’s a sweet, affectionate girl who has already been through a lot of change and deserves the chance to settle into a forever home.

She’s ready to trade shelter life for soft beds, sunny windows, endless pets, and a family who will love her exactly as she is. 🐱💗
