Staff Pick: Hot Chocolate

**HPA! does not have dogs on site for casual viewing EXCEPT at weekly Saturday adoption events from 10am-6pm around the back of 2800 Antoine Dr. You MUST complete an adoption application BEFORE attending a weekly Saturday adoption event.

Please note: puppies (and dogs) at the event are available on a first-come, first-served basis to pre-approved applicants. An approved application does NOT guarantee you a specific puppy/dog, and puppies/dogs can NOT be put on hold.**

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. 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, plan to attend our weekly adoption event on Saturdays from 10am-6pm around the back of 2800 Antoine Drive (Note: You must have a completed adoption application to attend.). If a foster is available prior, we may schedule private meet and greet appointments Monday-Wednesday. After Wednesday, all dogs not adopted are required to attend the event for meeting.
  • Step Three: Fill out the contract and pay the adoption fee
    • Complete the adoption contract and pay the $199 adoption fee* (which covers spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, dewormer, microchip, and heart worm treatment if applicable). Please note that outdated adoption fees found on other websites cannot be honored.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.
  • *Special discounted adoption fees include $100 for long-stay dogs, $100 for senior dogs, and $50 off for active/retired military personnel.*
