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. 

Pets of the Week

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!

Fisher is a 2-yr-old goofy lab mix who has spent most of his life in a shelter, coming to HAP from a partner in Alabama that no longer had room for him. Despite spending a lot of time in the shelter, his fun-loving spirit and social personality has not changed. He’s a smart pup too, who’s house & crate-trained, knows basic commands and loves learning new tricks! Fisher has done great with kids during Doggy Day Out, especially ones who are equipped to handle his energetic zoomies and hugs. We know this sweet, smart boy will make a perfect addition to any home!

Dior is a 2-year-old boxer/terrier mix that loves her friends at Humane Animal Partners! She came to HAP after being found wandering as a stray in Wilmington. Despite being at the shelter, she is a loving, playful girl who would thrive with an active owner, as she loves long walks and playtime. Her favorite form of exercise is tossing around a toy or chasing a tennis ball (though we have noticed, she does tire easily)! While it's possible Dior could be introduced to other animals over time, she would prefer it if she were the only pet in your home so she could have you all to herself. Will you help Dior make a fresh start?!

Buddy is an 8 year old mature gentleman who came to HAP as a stray. He makes an adorable “hooting” noise, likely due to respiratory complications from his time as a stray, though our staff believes he’s in good health now and it causes him no pain. He’s had a hard time adjusting to shelter life but is learning the world isn't so scary. Despite being a shy boy who prefers love on his own terms, he’s opened up for a few of our staff to show us his affectionate side and when he gets comfortable, he enjoys curling up in your lap or laying beside you for pets. Buddy prefers the little things in life, like watching TV or listening to his friends read aloud a good book! He has a playful side as well, mostly with string toys or his favorite pipe-cleaner toy, and has proven to do well with other cats in the shelter, preferring the calmer ones, in particular.

Link came to us from a high-intake shelter in Georgia and sadly, has been overlooked due to his size for quite some time. This beautiful boy is a 3-yr-old Great Dane mix who simply loves to love! His favorite things to do are zoom around our fenced-in field playing with friends, and going on hikes with volunteers as part of our Doggy Day Out program. When he’s done exercising, he melts into a snuggly baby and loves getting back scratches and having his velvety ears rubbed. Link has proven to be fearful of other dogs and will likely do best as the only dog in your 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.
