HOUDINI is the sweetest little
1-year-old shorthaired you’ve
ever seen! He is an absolute
love and is on the search for his
forever home. He came to HSCO
with an injury that required the
amputation of his tail, but he
hasn’t let that hold him back!
After some TLC from the shelter
staff, he’s ready to fi nd a place to
call his own. Houdini is playful,
lovable, and he’ll surely be the
source of endless entertainment
for the lucky family who adopts
him. Come check out Houdini!
“Hi friends, my name is MAX. I like
belly rubs, back scratches, and
cuddles. I have great experience
in the house and will let you know
when I need to go out. I’ve lived
with children, and other dogs
and cats, too. I’m a 7½-year-old
beagle mix who’s really hoping
for a future forever home full of
lots of love and warm cozy beds.
And I defi nitely wouldn’t say ‘no’
to treats! Come in and meet me!”
