🐾💛 Happy Tails, Willa! 💛🐾
Formerly known as Boogie, Willa is settling into her new life beautifully, and it sounds like she’s already winning over everyone she meets!
Her family says she wants to be best friends with every human and dog who crosses her path. 🥹
Willa has already been busy exploring Dupont Circle, taking plenty of big walks, meeting her grandma and extended family, and perfecting one very important skill: striking a pose on the stairs at home. 📸🐶
She’s also been welcomed by the wonderful village that supported her family and her big sister, Lulu.
Now, they’re looking forward to watching even more of Willa’s personality shine as she settles in and to all the adventures still ahead.
Happy Tails, Willa! We can’t wait to see what your next chapter brings. 💙🐾

🐾💛 Happy Tails, Amya!
Another HRA favorite has officially started her next chapter! 🥹
We’re so happy to share that Amya has been adopted and is settling into life with her new family.
While we’re still waiting to hear about all the adventures she’s getting into, we hope her first days at home are filled with plenty of love, cozy naps, treats, and time to get comfortable in her new surroundings. 🏡🐶
🐾🩺 Medical Patient of the Week: Jolene!
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Joleeeene… please don’t take our hearts just because you can. 🎶💙
This incredibly sweet girl is recovering beautifully after surgery and showing us just how brave she is. Jolene is bouncing back nicely, soaking up plenty of TLC, and charming everyone she meets along the way.
Now that she’s on the mend, there’s just one thing left on her wish list: a loving home of her own. 🏡🐶
Come meet Jolene and see why we simply can’t help falling for this sweet girl. 🐾✨
🐾💛 Meet Priya, professional toy collector and certified happy girl!
Priya approaches life with a wagging tail, plenty of enthusiasm, and preferably a stuffed toy nearby. 🧸🐶 This happy-go-lucky girl loves to have fun and has plenty of personality to share.
Priya would thrive with an experienced dog owner who can give her some structure and continue her training. Luckily, she’s got two things working in her favor: she’s super smart and VERY food motivated. Treats + training = Priya’s kind of math. 🧠🦴
If you’re looking for a playful companion and are ready to help a clever pup keep learning, Priya would love to meet you! 💙🐾
Hi, Grebby here with another review! 😸🥣
I recently tried CUDDLY’s chicken and rice cat food, and this feline food critic gives it two paws up.
The chicken provides high-quality protein to help support strong muscles, while the rice offers easily digestible carbohydrates for energy.
Together, they make a tasty, satisfying meal that helps keep a shelter cat nourished and feeling her best while she waits for her next chapter.
Speaking of next chapters, I’m available for adoption at HRA!
If you’re looking for a dining companion who appreciates good food and even better company, come meet me. 💙🐾
Meet Mopsy, the scruffy-muzzled terrier ready to steal the spotlight—and your heart! 🌟🐾

Ready for great walks, lots of laughs, and a lovable new sidekick? Come meet Mopsy and adopt her today! 💙
