above all, THANK you FOR CHOOSING ADOPTION TO SAVE A LIFE!

Thank you for understanding the animal you are interested in may not be the best match for your home. At this time, we are not able to respond to all applications, but are trying our best to do so. In some cases, it may take longer than 3 days to review/respond.

We are an all-volunteer rescue trying our very best for our community & our animals. Everyone you correspond with and interact with through HFP is volunteering their time, energy & heart into this process. We understand it may be dissappointing to “miss out” on the dog you applied for, but never want to deter good adopters from adopting… If not through us, we encourage you to continue looking to other reputable rescues and shelters as there are no shortage of dogs in need of loving homes! Thank you for choosing adoption to save a life!
