Your next best friend may already be waiting.
HERO works to make thoughtful, lasting matches between rescued hounds and adoptive families.
Meet the hounds.
HERO’s current adoptable dogs are maintained on Petfinder. Availability changes often, so Petfinder is the best place to see who is ready for a home right now.
Our adoption survey helps HERO learn about your household, lifestyle and what you are looking for so the team can help make a lasting match.
