About Mama Mia
Dogs – Plays well with others!
Cats – Looking for a feline-free home
Kids – Yes, 13+
Mama Mia is a young dog with a gentle heart who just needs a little extra time and patience to shine. This sweet girl came to HSHC as a stray, and her journey to trust has been slow but steady. When she first arrived, Mama Mia was very fearful and felt the need to protect herself. But with patience, love, and a few tasty treats, she's made amazing progress! Now, she's warming up to new people and even seeking out pets from her favorite shelter friends.
Mama Mia is looking for a home that understands her need for continued training and structure. She's still working on basic skills and would love adopters who can provide lots of mental and physical stimulation. Puzzle feeders, scent games, and learning new tricks will help keep this smart girl happy and engaged.
Mama Mia would do best in a calm, feline-free home with adults or teens. She'd love to meet any dog siblings here at the shelter first to make sure everyone's a good match. Her ideal adopters will understand that she needs a slow approach with new people and a safe, quiet space to settle in. High-traffic areas like pet stores and cafes might be overwhelming for now, but with time, training, and love, Mama Mia has the potential to be a wonderful companion.
If you're ready to help this special girl continue her journey, come meet Mama Mia!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
