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.

Dog of the Week

Get ready for your heart to melt! Volker is 46 lbs 2 year old lab mix with lots of love to give. He came to us from a high-intake shelter partner in Louisiana when they no longer had space for him. Upon arrival, it was clear this boy had a rough past. He was severely malnourished, with irritated skin and significant weight loss. Our medical team quickly began a treatment plan for him. He is now back up to a healthy weight, has the silkiest coat, and is loving life! He is quite the snuggly boy, often seeking out cuddles and kisses from his human pals. Volker has also enjoyed playing with other pups at the shelter and in his foster home! "Volker has done really well with us over the time he's spent with us. He's house-trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He has a lot of energy. He loves going outside for walks, playing with our other dog, and sitting at the window watching what is going on outside. When he wants attention he'll let you know by coming right up to you, jumping up next to you on the couch, giving kisses, and at the end of the day snuggling up to sleep with you. He's done great meeting new people too. He hasn't met any children yet. Volker is also learning some basic commands. Overall, Volker is a really sweet dog with lots of energy that will do great with a family to play with."

She is a 1.5 year old hound mix that loves to play. Molly came to us from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana where she was found as a stray. Her finder kept her in their home, in hopes of finding her owner, but sadly no one came looking for her. Molly enjoys zooming around our fenced fields and playing with volunteers. She can often be found prancing around with her favorite toy of the day. From hard chew bones to squeaky stuffies, she loves any and all toys. In typical hound nature, she loves to explore and sniff everything. She walks well with a harness, knows basic commands, and keeps her kennel clean. Molly is our BEST pup in doggy playgroup, as she loves every dog she meets and will match their playstyle! If you are looking to add another pup to your home or have the best hiking partner ever, come meet Molly! Molly would do best in a home with older children or adults. Molly does not like cats.

This 45 lbs southern gentleman is a 5 year old terrier mix that is ready to head on home! Originally a stray in Alabama, Charles made his way to Delaware from a high-intake shelter, to get off the streets and look for a fresh start. He quickly won over the hearts of our staff for his goofy smile and the wiggliest body we have ever seen! In addition to being super cute, he is also an intelligent boy. Charles already knows basic commands, keeps his kennel tidy, and walks well with a harness. He is very food motivated to learn, making the possibilities endless. Although he is a dog, this pup sometimes behaves more like cat. Charles can be reserved with new people and takes some time to warm up to affection from strangers. Once he is comfortable with you, he is sure to wiggle his way into your heart, and your lap! Charles is seeking an adult-only home. Once he trusts his people wholeheartedly, he is not very open to sharing the love with other pets, so he is seeking a home as your one and only furbaby.

Dasher arrived at HAP after being found as a stray with her brother who has since been adopted. Our Vet estimates she is between 1 and 2 years old. While allergies currently have her in a cone, that doesn’t stop Dasher from rolling around in the sun and getting attention from her favorite humans. This sweet girl is a bit timid at first but once she trusts you she opens up like a flower! She enjoys showing off her playful side with interactive cat toys and if you’re lucky, she’ll even give you a little kiss. Dasher would prefer to be the only cat child in your home and would only be a good fit for older, cat-savvy kids who know how to read a cat’s body language. Dasher has allergies which require her to be on a special diet to help keep her healthy. To help Dasher find a love of her own, a generous donor has sponsored Dasher’s adoption fee!

This handsome kitty is just under 2 years old and weighs 11 lbs. He surrendered to us after his previous owner was no longer able to house a pet. The sudden change in environment was a bit scary and confusing for Tornado, causing him to hide for the first few weeks. After an abundance of love and earning his trust, he opened up and let his true personality shine through! Tornado loves to play with interactive and springy toys, chasing them around until it’s time for a rest. He adores any affection and attention, especially when it’s time for free-roaming with his best fur friend, Mario. Tornado is very cat-friendly and often depends on these kitty-pals for companionship. He would love a calm and quiet home where he can have the patience to grow and bond with his new family.

She is a five-year-old tortie, weighing roughly 11 lbs. This pretty kitty was brought to us after her owners could no longer afford her medical expenses. After being looked at by our fantastic vet team, they determined she has food allergies and will need to be on a special diet— much like humans do! Hazel has quite the personality; she always brings joy and laughter to our staff and volunteers, quickly becoming a favorite. She adores any form of love and pets, especially when she is snuggled like a baby and given chin scratches. Hazel does well with other feline friends, tending to relax with them and play with all sorts of fun and feathery toys.
