Find Dogs

Staff Pick: Arya

Welcome to HPA!! We are a foster based animal welfare organization. Most of our animals are located in loving foster homes and not at our facility. Please scroll through the animals on our website. If you do not have a particular animal in mind, that is OK! Filling out an adoption application does not obligate you to adopt. It just starts the overall process. Someone will contact you shortly! Thank you for considering HPA! 

Please note:  An approved application does NOT guarantee you a specific dog/puppy, and dogs/puppies CANNOT be put on hold.  We do not accept deposits for a specific dog/puppy.

How to adopt a dog:

Step One: Find the right dog for you

Scroll through our available pups below. Select a dog you’re interested in learning more about. You can click the “Apply for Adoption” button on that dog’s page and fill out the application, or if you need help finding the perfect pup for you, you can fill out the general dog application (button above). We will contact you within 24-48 hours of receiving your application. Completing an application neither guarantees nor binds you to an animal.

Step Two: Meet your potential new family member

Once your application is approved, you will receive an email from our Adoptions Team.  If the puppy/dog you are interested in is available, our Adoptions Team will set up an appointment for you to visit the puppy/dog during our normal business hours.

Step Three: Fill out the contract and pay the adoption fee

Complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee (which covers spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, dewormer, and microchip). Please note that outdated adoption fees found on other websites cannot be honored.

Step Four: Take home your new best friend

Remember that it takes time for dogs to decompress and get used to their new environment! Be patient!

Send proof of a visit to your veterinarian within two weeks.
