Pets of the Week

“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. 

FRAN

Fran is a 4 year old hound mix came to HAP from a high-intake shelter when they no longer had space for her. When she first arrived, she had some reservations about meeting new people, but has since opened up! Fran appears to trust women a lot more easily than men, though she does adore our male staff. Although she can be unsure at first, once Fran is comfortable with you, it’s not long after that she falls in love with you! She greets all her friends with a big hug and kisses. We’re not sure she knows her size, as she will climb right into your lap for some snuggles. She enjoys spending time outside, whether she’s bouncing around our fenced fields or sprawled out with an enrichment toy, she is a happy girl. Fran is very well-mannered and knows basic commands. As the princess she is, she absolutely adores wearing a stylish sweater or costume. She walks well on a leash, and like her typical hound nature, she loves to sniff and can get excited to track down some squirrels!

Pets of the Week

RUSTY - WILMINGTON

Rusty is a handsome 3.5 year old tuxedo kitty who came to us from a shelter partner when they no longer had space for him. He’s very outgoing and quickly became a volunteer favorite! Every morning, he greets HAP staff with a big meow and adorable kitty eyes. The cattery team thinks he knows how to make them feel guilty, and with one sad look, they have no choice but to sit with him for some snuggles. This affectionate boy is sure to rub against your leg or curl up in your lap, but despite being a lover, Rusty has his limits and will give you a light tap or nibble to let you know he’s had enough. Rusty enjoys spending his days soaking up some sun and leaning into you for head scratches!

Chloe - In Foster

Chloe is a 6 year old terrier mix longing for love! Chloe came to HAP when she was found wandering in a wooded part of Aston Township, PA. Once she settled into the shelter, she proved to be the sweetest, snuggly girl! While we thought she would get adopted quickly, she has sadly been with us for over six months. Chloe is a laid-back lady who enjoys going for her walks and then curling up on her doggy bed for a snooze. She still gets bursts of energy and play, but overall is just looking for a cozy place to relax that she can call home. She knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Chloe is not fond of other dogs, so being in the shelter takes a toll on her. However, through our Doggy Day Out program, Chloe has thrived outside of the shelter environment!

Goldie - HAP Wilmington

As her name would suggest, this lady has a heart of gold! Our sweet Goldie girl is a 2 year old yellow lab mix with a typical goofball lab personality! Goldie came to HAP from a high-intake shelter partner when they no longer had space for her. Despite being in the shelter, nothing could take the smile off her face! Goldie is a complete and total mush with people, frequently tossing her back end into you for booty scratches. While she may love people, there’s one thing she loves even more…toys! Whether she’s playing with you or tossing a bone for herself, this girl loves toys! She has the most dramatic play bows and the fanciest of prances we’ve seen. When she’s feeling extra excited, she will talk back to you and serve up some (hilarious) sass!

Sweet Peach - HAP Stanton/Christiana

Meet Sweet Peach, our beautiful 4 year old tabico girl! She came to HAP as a stray, so we aren’t too sure about her past. We believe she was a housecat at one point in her life, because she has a lot of demands! Sweet Peach is a woman who knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to tell you what she doesn’t like! She is a very active girl, she loves to play and chase her human friends! She can be very sweet and affectionate, but only on her terms. We do think she’ll be more affectionate in a household where she’s the queen of the castle, as your only pet!

Bean - HAP Wilmington

Meet our sweet little lady, Bean! She is about 1.5 years old and came to HAP when she was found as a stray. While Bean can be shy with people, she loves to play and cuddle with her feline friends! Bean frequently spends time with one of our longest residents, Rusty, in his free roam room. The pair can often be seen snuggling on a bed together or lounging on our outdoor catios, bonding over watching birds. Bean still has lots of kitten energy and loves to play with toys. She can be timid with new humans and may hide or scurry away, but with some patience, she is sure to melt your heart!

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.
