Pets of the week

Mama - HAP Wilmington

Looking for an extra-loving girl? Come meet Mama! This sweet girl is a 2-year-old fluffy tabby with an enlarged heart, literally! Mama came to HAP when her owner became aware of her condition and was not able to care for her. She is the sweetest girl, which makes sense because her heart is extra-large. While this may shorten her lifespan, Mama is not in any pain and managed with an affordable medication, that has shown improvements! She is extremely affectionate with all people, leaning in for pets or curling up on your lap. She enjoys sunbathing by the windows, climbing high on towers to observe, hanging with her feline friends, and playing with feather wands!

Gooseberry - HAP Wilmington

Gooseberry is a 2-year-old grey and white gal. She came to HAP when she was found as a stray. Thankfully, she was microchipped but when we contacted her owners, they no longer wanted her. Understandably, after being abandoned, she was not feeling her best. Gooseberry has proved to have a couple of personalities with us, which we think only makes her that much more fun! Depending on her mood, you may interact with a professional boxer or an affectionate sweetheart. What can we say, she likes to keep you on your toes! If she’s trying to be the next Muhammad Ali, we have learned to either let her have a nap first and then try again or present her with a wand toy to swing on instead. When she’s feeling relaxed, she will ask for some affection to show you she’s in a lovey mood! In true queen bee nature, Gooseberry believes she is the top cat and would prefer a home as your only fur baby!

Rayna - HAP Stanton/Christiana

Meet Rayna, our beautiful 5-year-old calico! This sweet lady was brought into HAP as a sick stray, so of course this has been a long and strange journey for her! Rayna is a little shy at first and can be a little hissy, but once she knows someone is a friend, she’s a real love bug! She likes to sit next to someone and get some binge-watching in, she isn’t much of a player. Rayna gets along with other cats, though we don’t recommend she live with dogs or young children as they are a little too fast-paced for her!

Bria - HAP Wilmington

Bria is an 8-year-old short and sweet girl! She came to HAP when the other dogs in her home were not getting along with her. Due to that bad experience, she is hoping to be the only pup in a new home! Bria LOVES people and is quick to melt in your lap, with the biggest smile on her face. She finds friends everywhere she goes and is always super happy to meet new people. Despite her short stature, this girl has leaps when playing and loves to chase after toys by hopping around. When she’s not zooming around our fenced fields, you can find her sprawled out enjoying love from our team. In addition to being a total sweetheart, she is also super smart! Bria already knows basic commands, walks well with a harness, and appears house-trained!

Alvin - HAP Wilmington

Just like the mischievous chipmunk, you’ll never be bored with Alvin by your side! This young, super fluffy canine gentleman is bursting with energy and full of personality! Alvin loves to sprint as fast as his little legs will let him – which is pretty fast – and he would be so happy to just chase and play all day long. You know he’s having a blast because he does this little happy prance sometimes when he’s retrieved his prize! Alvin is full of personality and incredibly smart – he has a big personality and a mind of his own which he’s not afraid to share with you! This highly energetic, affectionate boy thrives in environments where he can stay mentally and physically engaged, making him a great match for an active individual or family who enjoys outdoor adventures. He has a strong personality and prefers to be the center of attention, so a household that will allow him to be the boss would be the perfect life for this guy.

Cooper - HAP Stanton/Christiana

Looking for a snuggly senior?! Look no further and come meet Cooper! He is a 10-year-old big bully mix who loves to cuddle. Sadly, Cooper was tied to our gate overnight and abandoned, so we don’t know much about his past. Despite this, he is very trusting, tolerant, and affectionate with people! Cooper already knows basic commands, appears house-trained and walks well on a leash. He has beautiful manners and a wonderful temperament, allowing us to do anything and everything for him. Recently, he’s been spending his days in our reception area. He enjoys hanging with our staff and will easily curl up on a bed beside them, making him the perfect companion for anyone who works from home! His favorite activities include afternoon strolls, snacking on yummy treats, and long naps. If you want to have a chill guy to bring home and have nice long naps with, consider Cooper!
