“Treating customers (people & pets) as family!”

 

WSTW loves pets! That’s why we’ve partnered with Humane Animal Partners (formerly Delaware Humane Association and Delaware SPCA) to bring you our Pets of the Week. Each week, we’ll show you a cat and a dog from Humane Animal Partners who need good homes. 

Pets of the week

Meet Valentine, a 1-year-old lab/retriever mix with loads of personality! She came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for her. Valentine is a sweet, energetic girl who loves her toys, treats, and playing outside. Her favorite pastimes include soaking up the sunshine and enjoying some pampering, especially shoulder massages and having her hair brushed by her favorite humans! Valentine also loves to relax with her people, often lounging beside them with her toys. If you’re looking for a stunning blonde who enjoys long walks and cuddling on the couch, Valentine is the perfect companion for you!

Nala is a 4-year-old pittie mix who would thrive in a calm, quiet environment. She came to HAP after her previous owners were no longer able to care for her. When Nala first arrived at the shelter, she was incredibly scared and stressed. Our team often found her curled up in the corner of her kennel, trembling with fear. With gentle, consistent interaction, she began to show signs that she wanted to connect, she just wasn’t sure how to trust yet. Though she’s made great progress and is slowly learning to trust people, she can still be a little hesitant around new faces. But once she feels safe, Nala reveals her affectionate side. She loves curling up in your lap for pets and kisses, and she’s especially motivated by treats, bacon and beef snacks are her favorites! This girl also has the craziest zoomies and loves to run around our fenced fields. We believe that in a peaceful, low-stress home, Nala will blossom into a relaxed, happy couch potato.

Minnie is a 3.5 year old shepherd/lab mix that loves to play. She came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for her. During her first few days, she was her sweet, loving self but quickly became overwhelmed by the shelter environment. We reached out to our volunteers to see if someone would be willing to give her a break from shelter stress. Minnie has since been very active in our Doggy Day Out program, which gives her the opportunity to decompress and explore the world outside of the shelter. Minnie has even enjoyed a sleepover in an employee's home. Not only did she appear house-trained, with no accidents in the home, but also slept soundly in her crate overnight! She quickly showed off her goofy, playful side. Whether it's a game of tug with you or entertaining herself, she is always up for some fun! Minnie loves to chew on hard bones and rubber balls. She is a fast learner and knows basic commands. Since she is food and toy motivated, the possibilities are endless with her!

Meet Smokey and Bandit, our 3-year-old sisters! These girls arrived at HAP from a hoarding situation, so adjusting to their new environment has been a big change for them. However, they’ve started to settle in nicely! Smokey is the more outgoing of the two, though she can be a bit shy at first. She loves to play and can usually be won over with some fun playtime! Bandit tends to be more of the observer; she likes to hang back on the sidelines while her sister takes the lead. After some time, both girls become incredibly sweet and love spending time with their human friends! Smokey and Bandit both do well with other cats, but we recommend they go to a home with no dogs and no children. **Bandit and Smokey are a bonded pair, seeking a home together!

Elmira will steal your heart away with one meow! She is a 7-year-old mature beauty with a kitten heart. Elmira came to HAP when she was found as a stray, but it was clear this girl had lived in a home and socialized with people. She absolutely adores being pet, usually following you around waiting to be loved. Elmira is also a chatty girl and enjoys talking with humans, she even has the sweetest meow! In addition to her loving personality, Elmira is quite the laid-back lady, often enjoying a nice afternoon nap or some snacks. Elmira is fairly tolerant of being handled, held, and snuggled. She will use her big girl voice paired with a love tap to let you know if you've crossed her boundaries too far, though this is rare. She has so much life left in her, begging to find her forever home.

ABOUT HAP

Known formerly as Delaware Humane Association and Delaware SPCA, Humane Animal Partners is committed to connecting people with animals, building strong relationships to better the community, and preventing cruelty to animals. These pillars are brought to life through programs that provide shelter and adoption for unwanted and homeless pets, reduce pet overpopulation through low-cost spay/neuter, and enable pet retention by providing low-cost wellness services. HAP has 3 locations in Wilmington, Stanton/Christiana, and Rehoboth Beach. Visit humaneanimalpartners.org to learn how to adopt, volunteer, donate, foster, and more.

ADOPTION PROCESS

Our adoption process is designed to help you and your family find the perfect match in a pet. When the right match is made, we strive to conduct our adoptions thoughtfully, transparently, and with the utmost respect. HAP asks those interested in adopting to please submit an adoption questionnaire at //www.humaneanimalpartners.org/adopt/adoption-process/  prior to visiting! All animals from HAP are spayed/neutered, given age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and examined by a vet prior to adoption.
