Friends of HC Animals We’re in the middle of something beautiful here — a little rebuilding, a little rediscovering, and a whole lot of heart.

Stick around as this space finds its new voice.

Bonded pair of ferrets.

Smokey: Smaller, lighter, female
Bandit: larger, darker, male

Approximately 4 years old.

Kid and dog friendly. They are curious about cats but have not been out with them.

This is the hardest post we have made in a long time. Dude and Dante are looking for a new home.

Both are currently living with other dogs, kids, and cats with no issues, but both take time to warm up to strangers.

Both are kennel/crate trained and now basic commands (sit, lay, shake, go kennel). Both are current on core vaccines, microchipped, and neutered.

We would love for them to find a home together but know that isn't always a possibility.

Dude is a "mutt", dna test showed American
Staffy, husky, gsd, beagle, and even pug! Dante is a Xoloitzcuintli and does require special skin care, sun screen, and seasonal clothes.

Yeah, yeah… I know. I look like I belong in a cat food commercial. Please try to stay focused.

The humans recently informed me that I was “a little scruffy” and “needed help grooming.” Rude. Personally, I prefer the term distinguished. George Clooney doesn’t explain himself, and neither do I.

Unfortunately, my aging hips make it a little harder to keep up with all this luxurious fur, so the humans decided I needed a “spa day.” There were brushes. Clippers. Personal violations. At one point, I considered filing a formal complaint.

Still, I suppose they did an acceptable job. I’m now cleaned up, looking sharp against my will, and back at Pet Supplies Plus waiting for someone to realize I should be spending my retirement years stretched across a heated blanket instead of living in a cat condo.

I may be an older gentleman, but I’ve still got plenty of love left to give — along with a few opinions, a lot of charm, and some truly magnificent whiskers. All I need now is a home worthy of my distinguished presence.

Many of you may recognize me from earlier this year. I came to the shelter at 18 years old!! The shelter vet gave me a clean bill of health and the shelter found me a forever home! I am now living the best golden years of my life full of love. They could never have given me the support without all of you!

When our human lost her home and could no longer care for us, the shelter gave us a soft place to land and stay together. They even found out my sister was so grumpy because she had a horrible tooth infection. Once the vet took care of it she was so friendly again!
