🎃 Calling all pet parents! We need to see your Halloween costume creations.

Is your pet a pumpkin? A dinosaur? A tiny hot dog? Drop those photos in the comments! 👇

One important Halloween PSA: Costumes aren't for every pet, and that's perfectly OK! If your pet isn't comfortable dressing up, please don't force it. A cute bandana, festive photo, or no costume at all is just as welcome.

Let's see those Halloween cuties!

BREAKING: Abner has announced his candidacy for mayor, and we're pretty sure he's already committed several campaign finance violations. (He accepts payment exclusively in treats.)

His political platform is simple: EVERYONE is his friend. Doesn't matter if you've known him for 10 years or 10 seconds. He's hugging constituents, shaking paws, kissing babies (probably), and forming strategic alliances with every dog in a 5-mile radius.

His approval rating? 100%. His opposition? Unclear. Probably also his friends now.

And before you accuse him of being all charisma and no qualifications, please know this man is potty trained, crate trained, does well home alone, and has excellent foster-home references. He loves walks, fetch, cuddles, and his fellow canine citizens.

He'll need a home without cats or small animals, but otherwise, Abner is ready to take office.

ABNER 2026: A friend in every yard. A cuddle in every home.

Have you ever wanted a dog but worried your space wasn't ready for a 90-pound roommate?

Might we interest you in a more compact model?

Meet Milo, a six-year-old Chihuahua mix! He's got the energy for adventures and an appreciation for cozy blankets.

Benefits of the small-dog lifestyle include:

More room on the couch (in theory).
A dog bed that doesn't require its own floor plan.
Less dog to step over when you're walking through the house at 2 a.m.
Someone to keep you company while you question all your life choices at 11 p.m.
The ability to say "Who's a little guy?!" with absolutely no risk of being knocked into next week.

Please review the terms and conditions before applying for the position of Milo's human: adults-only household, patience for his ongoing character development, slow introductions to fellow four-legged residents, and a cozy crate he can retreat to when he needs a little alone time. Milo reserves the right to be a work in progress.

If your life is a dumpster fire, may I introduce you to the world's least qualified firefighter?

Because if the universe is going to keep throwing plot twists at you, you might as well have a handsome man in uniform waiting for you at home.

Meet Whitmore. 🚒

Can he fix your life? No. He's a dog. But he can sit, lie down, and provide moral support while you figure out why everything costs $47 now.

At 8 years old, Whitmore is entering his low-stimulation, high-snack era. His social battery is still buffering, and he would appreciate a human who doesn't expect him to be perceived 24/7. He's been a little shy in the shelter, so give him time to settle in and show you who he is.

Honestly, we could all use someone who doesn't expect us to have it together all the time.

Adopt Whitmore. Your life may still be a dumpster fire, but at least you'll have a dog.

If loving you is wrong, Starla doesn't want to be right.

Meet Starla, a lovergirl in the purest sense of the word. She sees a human and thinks, I wonder if they'd like to be loved with the intensity of a thousand suns.

She loves hugs. She loves laps. She loves sleeping right next to her favorite people. She's not really one for personal space.

When she's not busy being emotionally attached, Starla enjoys playing ball and indulging in her other great love: bacon. A girl needs hobbies!

She's also crate and potty trained. She's lived with kids ages 6–14 and absolutely adores them. Unfortunately, Starla's love language occasionally comes with the physics of a linebacker, so smaller kiddos may have to brace for impact. When it comes to other animals, Starla would prefer to keep things exclusive and be the only pet in the household.

Are you ready to be the center of someone's universe? Starla has a frankly unreasonable amount of love to give, and she's ready to give it all to you. 💗

Scrooge is nine years old, approximately the size of a desk stapler, and one “per my last email” away from absolutely losing it.

He has 47,000 unread emails. His Outlook calendar looks like a game of Tetris and now he's barking at the printer.

Classic Chihuahua middle management.

Scrooge has spent years climbing the corporate ladder, despite being physically incapable of reaching the second stair.

He has the confidence of a CEO and the patience of someone who's been on hold with IT for 45 minutes,

At 9 years old, Scrooge has officially entered his “I'm too old for this nonsense” era. He's blocking off 1–4 p.m. for a mandatory nap and has been insisting that his ergonomic office chair be replaced with a human lap.

His dream job? Retired gentleman of leisure.

Please share with your network. He has references, but they're all afraid of him.

Zorro just got adopted and immediately started training for his new role as personal bodyguard. 😂

He hasn't been home from HSPPR for long, but this little Rottweiler is already learning the ropes from Zsa, an older Mastweiler who's taken him under her wing. Their headquarters? The horse barn. Their mission? Keeping each other company and looking important while doing it.

Zorro may still be a puppy, but he's got big bodyguard energy. He's sticking close to his big sister, learning the lay of the land, and working his way up the ranks. He's got a lot to learn, but honestly, he's off to a great start.

And the best part? Zorro's family says he's happy, and Zsa has welcomed him into her world. Looks like this little guy found himself a home and a built-in mentor all at once.

Welcome to the good life, Zorro. Keep up the good work, buddy. ❤️

You've been waiting for the Cat Distribution System to choose you. Bestie, it just sent you this post. 🐱

Maybe you've been missing a little chaos in your life. Maybe your camera roll needs 400 more photos of a creature sleeping in increasingly weird positions. Maybe you just need someone to follow you into the bathroom and scream about it.

Whatever the reason, we have A LOT of kittens at HSPPR who would love to make themselves at home in your heart (and probably your laundry basket).

Consider this your sign. Your kitten is out there. And there's a pretty good chance they're here. 👀

🎃 Pumpkin Spice has some competition.

Introducing Cinnamon H. Butter, the 42-pound autumnal experience you didn't know you needed.

He's giving farmers market. He's giving freshly baked goods. He's giving a $9 candle called “Sweater Weather.” And with that brindle-and-white coat? He's basically a pile of fall leaves that learned to walk.

Picture it: the leaves are falling, there's something simmering in the slow cooker, and you're convincing yourself that buying another blanket is a great financial decision.

The holiday baking begins. The temperatures drop. And suddenly, there's a dog named Cinnamon H. Butter in your house while you're wearing fuzzy socks and pretending your holiday shopping is under control.

Of course, Cinnamon is more than a walking fall aesthetic. This 3-year-old Australian cattle dog mix is looking for a home where he can settle in at his own pace. He can come on a little strong when meeting other dogs, so slow introductions and thoughtful management will be important. Since he came to us as a stray, his history with cats and kids is unknown.

Skip the seasonal latte. Adopt the whole fall aesthetic. (or do both, we don't judge!)

Come meet Cinnamon H. Butter at HSPPR. 🍁

Allie's next starring role is up for grabs, and the casting call is officially open.

She's got the face of a Hollywood leading lady and the résumé to back it up though. Nine years of character development. A natural talent for stealing scenes. The ability to turn a simple game of fetch into a full-scale production.

Critics are calling her “very affectionate,” “ridiculously cute,” and “why is this dog not already famous?”

But Allie is ready for her next big project, and she's got a few items on her rider.

Must have: an active, patient family, plenty of exercise and enrichment, continued training, and time to settle into the role. She's already potty trained and crate trained, and she's lived with children and a dog her size.

Must not have: cats, small pets, or open doors. Other dogs will need a slow introduction, as Allie's enthusiasm can be a lot for some potential co-stars.

Her compensation package includes enthusiastic games of fetch, intense tug-of-war matches, unlimited affection, and a frankly unreasonable amount of face card.
