Pets

Nova has been at the shelter for a long time. She is one of our special dogs who has been listed as a “Rescue Only” because she has been returned for guarding her favorite human. Nova is a gorgeous terrier mix who would make a single person with a quiet home a great companion. She likes other dogs and gets along with cats. Her only issue is her overwhelming attachment to just one person in the family. If you think you could make Nova your furry partner in life, we would love to see her get her second chance.

Syre is a 4 year-old goofy meatball who just needs to find the right fit for him. He is gentle, happy and has an equally-balanced personality between playful and calm. He doesn’t mind other friendly dogs but does get nervous around some men. Once there is a proper introduction, he becomes a lovable squishy face. He would do best in a home with older teens or adult couple.

Soltan is new to the shelter. He is three years old and was surrendered about a week ago because his family moved. He is friendly and playful. He would love a family with no other pets but kids over 10 would be great! He still needs some leash training here but would be a great dog for the right family! Email Doug@hitor.org to meet Nova, Syre or Soltan.

Harry is a long haired tabby who is about 9-10 weeks old. He was a little difficult when he came to stay with his foster mom. He spit and hissed for the first day. His foster had to syringe-feed him. He is the smallest of the bunch. He just learned to go up and down the stairs. He is now happy-go-lucky Harry. He also loves to love bite on your fingers. If you are interested in Harry email Kristine@hitor.org.

Linus is a 15 month old male cat. He is very sweet but can be a bit shy. He loves to play and has lived with other cats and a dog before!

Get ready to fall in love with this face! Fawn is a female cat who is about 2 years old. She is very sweet playful and loving. She likes other cats but would need to be tested with dogs. If you are interested in Linus or Fawn please email Amber@hitor.org.

Miracle is our Christmas miracle. We are closed to the public on Christmas day. But Miracle showed up and we happily opened our doors to save her. She was brought to us as a stray. Like many of the dogs who come through our doors, we hear stories and learn more from neighbors or friends after people begin seeing the dog brought into the shelter. From what we understand weeks earlier Miracle was left tied to a tree for hours until her owners came back. The fact is we are so happy this beautiful little soul is now safe and can find her forever home that will love and dote on her as she so deserves. She is around two years old. This bouncy girl would benefit from a home with structure. She like to learn new tricks and when she is rewarded with a tasty treat. Miracle is house trained and would be most comfortable in a home with a single adult, so she only has one person to call her own. Miracle would be a great apartment or condo dog as long as she gets a few walks each day.  

Tonka is a new dog to the shelter. He was brought in as a stray with another small dog. His owner called and no longer wanted them. Tonka lived with two other small dogs but is not good with cats. He is a goofy, good natured dog who can be quite chatty when he sees his favorite staff member in the morning. He is happiest when he is with people and in the pool. He loves water and chunky chew toys. Stop by and meet this handsome guy. You will just love his smile.

This handsome guy is Coco, He is a three-year-old terrier mix. Coco was brought to the shelter as an owner surrender. Coco is a loving, active guy. He loves going on long walks and is quite playful. He loves to run and check out his surroundings when he is let into our pens. Coco needs to live in a home without cats and due to his activity level, older children. But he lived with a small dog in the past and has done well with friendly dogs here at the shelter. Coco is quite affectionate and loves humans. With someone who is willing to set boundaries and consistent training for this love, he will be a dream dog. If you are interested in Miracle, Tonka or Coco please email Doug@hitor.org.

Bella is super energetic 8 week-old kitten and loves to run around and play. She is so friendly and loves to be pet and cuddled. She is so sweet and ready to meet you. 

Peanut is also 8 weeks old and loves playing. She’s very friendly and gets along with her sisters and brother so well. She is such a sweetheart and she loves to be cuddled and kissed. 

Luna is a friendly, very cuddly kitten. She is such a mush. She loves being held and kissed but she also loves playing. Whether it’s with her toys or her siblings she always has so much fun. All of the kittens are in foster care so please email Amber@hitor.org for more info.

Milton was brought in as a stray and appeared to have been outside for quite a while. When he came in, he was full of ticks but, after our staff cleaned him up and after a vet visit, Milton is now doing great with us. Milton needs some leash walking skills but, is quite a sweetie. He knows some basic commands. Milton wants to live out his days as an only pet. Due to his strength, a home with teenagers fifteen and up would be the best fit.

Hennessy is a 7-year-old female Rottweiler. She is super sweet with humans. Hennessey is easy to walk on a leash and knows many of her commands. She was on hold for a while because she has a large bump that the staff was scared was serious. The vet gave her a clean bill of health. It’s only a calcification. She promises she is an amazing girl who will be a great addition to your family. She would need to be the only pet. Hennessey is currently in foster care and is not at the shelter.

Roxie is a 4-year-old snow white and tan bully mix who came to the shelter in April 2017 as a surrender after her family moved and could not take her with them. She lived with four children of all ages in her previous home but because she has been at the shelter for so long, we would recommend children over 12 now. She is a bit fearful of strangers and quick movements towards her. She is a calm and polite dog who likes to walk and sniff the grass with her favorite volunteers. She would do great in a calm home where she could relax and decompress but also still get outside to explore and play with her favorite toys. Roxie has lived with other animals in the past but a meet and greet would be necessary.

Sterling is a 4-year-old stunningly handsome bully breed mix who came to the shelter as a stray from Pearl River. He has been at the shelter for almost 18 months. He needs a place to run and play. He loves water and is the first one to dive into our doggie pools during the summer. He would need a disciplined owner with teens and older who will correct any negative behavior and redirect him if he starts to get overexcited with his leash or toys. Sterling should be the only pet.

Sparky is a 3 year-old male brindle bully terrier mix who came to the shelter as a stray as a one year old pup. He was adopted pretty quickly but due to an eviction his owner had to sadly bring him back. Sparky should be the only pet in the home and he starts off shy and a bit timid so that’s why we feel he would do best with older kids who can give him the time he needs to open up. He loves to run and catch tennis balls and roll in the grass. He would make a great adventure partner for young person or couple. For more info on Sparky Milton, Roxie, Sterling or Hennessey please email Doug@hitor.org.

Who doesn’t love a good Meatball? He is 2 years old kitty cat and so cute! He is good with other cats and has really started to come out of his shell. Meatball is ready for a home of his own! He would need some time and understanding but will be so greatful to be in a home. Email Amber@hitor.org.

Coco is a three year-old terrier mix. Coco was brought to us as an owner surrender. Coco is a loving active guy. He loves going on long walks and is quite playful. He loves to run and check out his surroundings when he is let into our pens. Coco has a high prey drive and cannot live in a home with cats. Due to his activity level, older children would be a great fit. Coco is quite affectionate and loves humans. With someone who is willing to set boundaries and consistent training for this love, he will be a dream dog.

All Storm wants is some love from her very own family who loves her. We promise she will adore you. Storm is a two year-old medium sized terrier mix. She was brought to Hi Tor from a very kind vet. She had a urinary tract infection and had not been spayed so her owner decided there was something wrong and they didn’t want her. Now, it takes Storm some time to warm up to new people, but she is a now a runner with the Dog Trotters and her personality has really started to shine through. She is much better walking on the leash but will run after anything furry things that moves so the nice people here believe that she can’t live with cats. She would benefit from an experienced dog owner and someone who wants to stay active with her.

Handsome Riley is about 4 1/2 years old and came to the shelter as a stray on May 22, 2016. That’s 3 long years at the shelter. Riley is quite a goofball. He absolutely loves his people! He does do silly things and is a quirky guy but is deserving to find a home with people who understands him and his silliness. Riley is house-trained, leash trained and neutered. He loves being around people and we think he would be a couch potato when he gets into a home. For more info on Coco, Storm or Riley please email Doug@hitor.org.

Linus is a handsome 15 month-old male cat who was surrendered when he was reacting to the dog in the house by spraying where the dog had been. Linus is a magnificent black cat with a white diamond design on his forehead. He is friendly and personable cat who would do great in a family without dogs.

Maxx is a regal 9 month-old male who was surrendered to the shelter back in April. He sadly was not able to stay with his owner due to landlord issues. He is a large cat who would be so grateful to have a home of his own!

Fawn is a sweet 2 year-old female cat who is very new to the shelter. She was left outside as a stray when her owners moved away. The neighbors tried to take care of her but she was not safe so they brought her to the shelter. For more info on Linus, Maxx or Fawn please email Amber@hitor.org

The more we get to know Pumba, the more we fall in love. Pumba is a young male dog who was sadly found tied to a tree by his leash in our driveway. He walks nicely on a harness and is learning his manners. He has a very soft, coat and chocolatey coloring with soft eyes and a big smiley face. Pumba deserves to find a home who will love him and keep him safe forever. For more info on Pumba email Doug@hitor.org.

Who wouldn’t want to wake up to this sweet face every day? Shelby is a spunky girl dog with lots of love to give. She came in as a stray and is a young girl with her whole life ahead of her. Shelby is a smart girl who has mastered “sit” and is eager to learn more. Shelby appreciates time to adapt to new places and would do especially well with adults and teens. She would need a meet-and-greet with any other dogs in the home.

He is a goofy, good-natured dog who can be quite chatty when he sees his favorite staff member in the morning. He is happiest when he is with people and in the pool.

Bailey is a 5 year-old beautiful calico and she’s has waited long enough for her forever family! She is the longest resident at the Annex but we think today is her day!! Bailey is a sweet cat who loves to bask in the sunlight and enjoys being brushed and pet. But, she needs some time to learn that you are her friend. She would thrive in a home with a patient, loving adopter who will give her time to open up and adjust in her new environment. She can be shy around unfamiliar people, but once she gets to know you she is eager to call you one of her best friends! She’ll make an amazing companion for someone who likes to enjoy life’s quiet moments. Bailey is not at the shelter. To meet Bailey please email Nixie at Gentlesouls@aol.com.

Daisy came in last summer at only 7 weeks old, sadly she was the only survivor of her litter.  After 3 months of continued care, there were few signs of improvement, she remained so lethargic she needed to be taken into foster care. Daisy showed immediate improvement, however, her need to remain on antibiotics was clear.  After months of diagnostic blood work, it has been determined that Daisy has a chronic low grade infection that flares up in times of stress. You’d never know it however, seeing her zoom around the annex and walk on her leash!!!   This little girl may remain a special needs baby, however, our hope is that she will outgrow her need to be on regular courses of antibiotics. Daisy is a tiny girl, her growth a bit stunted but that only adds to her charm.  She is a very confident little orange cat weighing in at a little over 5 lbs.  Orange cats are usually male, but Daisy is no common girl!  She gets along very well with other cats and loves to be held and petted.  If you would like to meet Daisy please email Nixie at gentlesouls@aol.com to schedule a meet and greet.  She is being fostered in New City, she is not at the shelter.
