Amea is young female mixed breed.  She has been found rooming around last Summer probably because whom ever had her was unable to handle her, take care of her needs and didn’t claimed her neither!    Being a “cute dog” is not a promise of a good start or a good dog life! As result, when found Amea was not potty trained, was likely depressed, had developed strong separation anxiety, and had become a very talented escape artist: she can climb and go over a 6 feet fence like it’s a baby gate. Since she has been found, she doesn’t try to run away though, she is just looking for her “human”. Amea will be extremely attached to you! Be ready to have her around you like your shadow. Her separation anxiety has greatly improved since she feels safe and understood. She will still need a lot of time,  patience, calmness and understanding to find her own confidence. She is still on home crate training. She doesn’t bark much, and whine for a few minutes and then settled. She is also taking some medications to help her transition toward a more comfortable self.    Amea is a very playful still puppy dog,  always eager to go for a  walk or go to the dog park where she has many friends. She has been socialized with adult people and dogs of all age and breeds outside of the house and does very well. She is very high energy and loves outdoors, water, chewing her toys, and cuddle with you anytime afterward. No doubt, Amea is adorable, smart and very expressive and will be stay on your side! She is spayed, vaccinated, has a microchip, and she is on a monthly dewormer program.  Even well socialized, her prefer forever home should be a single dog home with a fenced yard. Amea needs a patient and calm adopter as she is still a work in progress. She is easy to redirect and  train,  just needs love and soft boundaries.    Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

Hi there! My name is BB. The B stands for Beatrice, but I don’t like Beatrice, I just like B and that’s all. I have been over at HALO for a few months now. When I first came I was undergoing heart worm treatment. That's all over now and I am ready to find my family! I have a best friend here at HALO. His name is Johnny. He and I currently live together. He’s what they call my “helper dog”. I am a little shy and reserved at first. Johnny helps build my confidence when meeting new people or going to new places. On my own I am a little shy and get nervous. I prefer male dogs to females and would need a home with no cats. They tell me I have a prey drive. There has been a rabbit living at HALO that I am DETERMINED to find! I am a good walking partner and I love to play with my jolly ball. I am an active girl and like to go for walks. You know what else I like? A good recliner! If you would like to meet me and let me check out your recliner, let my friends at HALO know!

 “ In the end we discover that to love and let go can be the same thing” - Jack Kornfield. Our sweet baby Bell, her full name is Bella Irene and we call her Bellarena. Always aiming to please and loaded with enough personality for 3, she really is a perfect representation of man's best friend. She is incredibly loving and loyal seeing to it that as long as she is in your presence that you feel happiness even if you are maybe not having an easy time. She will not stand to see anyone sad, will become her soul mission to ease whatever it is that is the matter. Recently our family suffered the loss of our grandmother Rosa Caskey On one side and then directly after was the loss of a Father Scott Stephens on the other side. These losses were made even harder because it was right before we welcomed our new son Roman Scott Ivy. These were people who were extremely close to use and played a major role in our support systems. We lost a lot in a small amount of time and I think we all can agree that having a companion like Miss Bella will always be just the right dose of love to pull anyone through a rough patch. She will stay by your side, lay with you, kiss you and she will even cry with you if times are tough enough. She will stop at nothing to see you smile when you are sad. Her love and care is priceless, something we will always be thankful for having. Bella is pretty small for an American Bully but packed inside her little body is a big big personality. She loves to play! Her favorite toy is a good ol’ rope or fresh tennis ball but she doesn't just play she PLAYS. When it's play time Bella becomes so happy she snorts and all of the sudden you might believe you have a big pig living in your tiny doggies body. She will have the whole family laughing. She loves to fetch, jump high and she will even do a trick or two. Learning new tricks is a trick itself because she tries so hard she actually tries a little too hard, in time she learns and makes you feel accomplished as well! Lets not forget, she has a middle name and she earned one. “Bella Irene! Get out of the trash” The trash can is first and foremost her first love. She will make you think twice about leaving food out and not taking the trash out that night fellas! Because of this she is kennel trained and does best in it when she is home alone. She likes to pretend to be devastated and barks but she calms down and sleeps in the kennel and plays with her toys until we come home. Although Bella has been a wonderful dog and we truly love her and dont want to see her go, we understand that it is our responsibility to love her back in a way that would ensure that she has the best quality of life. One of the hardest things as an owner is learning that your love is simply not enough and sometimes is an even curler fate than the one you are trying to save them from. Bella does well meeting new people as long as you are not in the home and are with her owner. Unfortunately we have not been able to help her past this and she remains very home defensive. As loving and uplifting as Bella is, she also can't seem to find a way to coexist with our females Stella and Iris. She has been the source of multiple fights that have led to total separation of all my animals. Seeing the dangers of having Bella, who we now know is territorial and having a 12 year old daughter with our newborn son we are now faced with a serious problem with seemingly no easy solution and until now, no more viable resources. With all of the love and compassion Bella has shown us we know we owe it to her to try to find someone who is just right for her. Someone who has the same amount of love to give as she does, who is better equipped to give her the life she needs so she can have the life she deserves.  Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

Single male dog seeking single stay at home dog owner! Nice to meet you, I’m Frank! I am a 7 year old mixed breed. I have been living the single life over here at HALO for the last few months. I had an owner who I adored but she sadly got sick and could no longer take care of me. She did teach me a lot- I know all of my basic commands and I am very friendly! I need a home where I am the only pet- I enjoy the single dog life and don’t want to share the spotlight. Since being at HALO I have been working through some separation anxiety. My mom was with me all the time so I have never been on my own. I also don’t like it when I see other dogs and I will let them know by barking at them. I do have to wear diapers because I am an old man. Sometimes I mark when in a new place without my person. I also do this as an anxiety response when I see or hear dogs. I love to go for walks and public outings. I am a complete gentleman in the car and when we go in to stores.Could you be my match made in heaven? Frank's $200 adoption fee includes all vaccinations, neuter, and microchip. Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

Say hello to Jack! You might remember him from last year when his name was Jax. He was adopted by a wonderful family and thrived in their care. Unfortunately, the husband passed away and the wife is unable to care for Jack. This is not due to Jack's behavior, but the financial challenges of having an extra large dog who is also on medication for his skin. He also is a young and energetic dog, and she is unable to provide the necessary outlets for all the spunk. Jack's family loves him and the decision to rehome has been difficult.  Jack is a great people dog and absolutely loves people! He is very playful, likes to play with his toys,   likes to take walks, and he leads very well. He is a big fella who weighs in at a healthy 108 pounds. He gets a little anxious around other dogs so he needs to be the only dog in a home. He can be taken out to do his business but he is a house dog. He is a very good dog!  He would do best in a home with older children because of his size. He has sensitive skin, and is on meds for that and loves to get baths to help. He’s doing very well with obedience training. He loves to go for car rides. He is a giant cuddle bug! Jack's adoption fee includes vaccinations, microchip, and neuter. HALO will continue his training at no additional cost to his adopters.    Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

“You’re gonna like this guy, he’s all right, He’s a goodfella”. Pleasure to meetcha, I’m Johnny Boy. I came to HALO a few months ago after living in a hoarding situation. I'm an older fella, about 6-7 years old. But as I always says, age is just a number and it doesn’t slow me down. I live with my goomah, Bee Bee. She’s my doll, my main squeeze. I help her you know? I show her the ropes. And she’s pretty good company. I prefer the female dogs to males. I like to nose around out in the yards to make sure everything is where it should be.   They say I have a prey drive, I just don’t like the rodents on my turf! I would do best in a home either as an only dog, with a female dog, or with my best girl Bee Bee.

Leia is a happy pup with a lot of love to give. She loves food and is treat motivated so training her is easy. She's 100% potty trained, but you definitely need to watch her cues when she needs to go. She loves to play ball and go for walks. She has anxiety so keeping her in her kennel when you're out of the house is important so that she doesn't get destructive. She'll definitely bond very strongly with whoever her permanent family is and will be your little shadow as she has a lot of love to give. Introduction to new people should be taken slowly so she does get nervous in new situations and surroundings .She's been exposed to cats, dogs, and teenagers. She loves playing with other dogs and would do well in a home with another dog as she is a high energy dog.  Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

Howdy friends! My name is Wilbur and I am a 2 years old. I made my way to HALO through the ASPCA. I am small but mighty! They tell me I am the cutest thing ever and can do no wrong 😉 I have been working on impulse control and learning how to be friends with dogs. I get really excited and like to bounce around. I can jump really high! I have to have someone outside with me to make sure I don’t try to go off and explore on my own. The training team at HALO has been working on my leash manners and socializing me. I LOVE to go out in public and make new friends! I am still learning to make friends with other dogs. I have not been tested with cats yet. You know what else I love? I LOVE my jolly ball! I like to throw it and chase it around my room and in the field at HALO.    Because I have never lived in a house, I am still working on my potty training. I can’t help that I’m a little guy with a big bladder! My HALO friends try to take me out every couple of hours so I can continue to get better, but every now and again I have an accident.  I would do best in a home as an only dog and with older kids. I am a pretty active guy so I would love a person who can keep up with my training, take me on shopping trips to socialize, and keep me mentally stimulated. I like to create my own mischief. If you would like to meet me let the crew at HALO know!    Adoption app:.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

Hi friends! I’m Sasha! I came to HALO in August of 2022 to work on building my confidence and overcoming some fears. Prior to HALO I spent some time in a shelter. My friends at HALO have helped me learn a lot of cool things! They take me for walks to work on my leash manners. They play ball with me to work on impulse control, and they introduce me to new friends (both human and dogs) all the time!! They have learned that I absolutely love kids! I get so excited when I see them and can’t wait to play with them! I also love to play with toys and my tennis ball. I’m excellent at sharing and will you take it away from me. I love to lay on the couch in the sun but also love to play out in the field with my friends. I am young so I do still have a good amount of energy. I need a family who will be able to socialize me and teach me that the world isn’t scary (especially the lawn mowers!). I would love a family with kids that I can play with.  Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets show less

My name is Tyson and I am a handsome middle-aged furry male looking for a special companion. I prefer women to men, but I can adjust to most people given a enough time. I prefer a quiet life without a lof of different people coming and going. I prefer to be your only fur baby but I might make an exception for a special furry girl. I would prefer a house without cats because they are fun to chase. I love to go on a stroll with my special person and I really like hikes in the woods. You don't need to worry about strangers...I will protect you from all harm. I enjoy going for long car rides and enjoy being shot-gun. I love trips through the drive-thru to get a special treat and I am willing to share it with you. So, if you like snuggling and long walks in the woods then I am your man.  We are a foster based organization and DO NOT have our adoptable pets at HALO.
