Story
My name is Tyson and I am a handsome middle-aged furry male looking for a special companion. I prefer women to men, but I can adjust to most people given a enough time. I prefer a quiet life without a lof of different people coming and going. I prefer to be your only fur baby but I might make an exception for a special furry girl. I would prefer a house without cats because they are fun to chase. I love to go on a stroll with my special person and I really like hikes in the woods. You don't need to worry about strangers...I will protect you from all harm. I enjoy going for long car rides and enjoy being shot-gun. I love trips through the drive-thru to get a special treat and I am willing to share it with you. So, if you like snuggling and long walks in the woods then I am your man.  We are a foster based organization and DO NOT have our adoptable pets at HALO. You must complete an adoption application to meet the cat or dog. We are by appointment ONLY. Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets ##725909##

Story
Introduction Frank, a lovable senior dog who is searching for a new forever home.  Frank has had a difficult journey, as his beloved mom passed away, leaving him in need of a new family to shower him with love and care.  Despite his challenging circumstances, Frank's resilient spirit shines through, and he is ready to embark on a new chapter of his life.  Frank is dog selective, meaning he prefers the company of certain dogs over others.  However, he absolutely adores puppies and thrives in their playful presence.  Watching him interact with these little bundles of joy is a heartwarming sight to behold. Nature walks are one of Frank's favorite activites.  He loves exploring the great outdoors, sniffing new scents, and feeling the fresh air on his face. Taking him on leisurely strolls through parks or hiking trails will bring him immense joy and fulfillment.  Frank is a perfect gentleman when it comes to car rides and visiting stores.  He enjoys the sights and sounds, and his cal demeanor makes him a wonderful companion for errands or road trips.  With Frank by your side, you can explore the world together, creating lasting memories. As a senior dog,Frank has plenty of spunk and zest for life.  He maybe a little older, but he still has a youthful spirit and energy.  However, Frank also appreciates the quite moments and loves nothing more than curling up on the couch for some quality cuddle time.  If you're ready to open your heart to a senior dog who will bring endless love and joy into your life, Frank is the perfect match. Frank's $200 adoption fee includes all vaccinations, neuter, and microchip. Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets   ##1458866##

Story
Say hello to Jack! You might remember him from last year when his name was Jax. He was adopted by a wonderful family and thrived in their care. Unfortunately, the husband passed away and the wife is unable to care for Jack. This is not due to Jack's behavior, but the financial challenges of having an extra large dog who is also on medication for his skin. He also is a young and energetic dog, and she is unable to provide the necessary outlets for all the spunk. Jack's family loves him and the decision to rehome has been difficult.  Jack is a great people dog and absolutely loves people! He is very playful, likes to play with his toys,   likes to take walks, and he leads very well. He is a big fella who weighs in at a healthy 108 pounds. He gets a little anxious around other dogs so he needs to be the only dog in a home. He can be taken out to do his business but he is a house dog. He is a very good dog!  He would do best in a home with older children because of his size. He has sensitive skin, and is on meds for that and loves to get baths to help. He’s doing very well with obedience training. He loves to go for car rides. He is a giant cuddle bug! Jack's adoption fee includes vaccinations, microchip, and neuter. HALO will continue his training at no additional cost to his adopters.   Adoption app: https://www.halok9behavior.com/adopting-one-of-our-pets ##1339620##
