Lucky is a seven year old Beagle/mix available for adoption at Heritage Humane Society. This heart-melting furry friend will bring everyone squeals of delight! Lucky loves naps, squeaky toys, and going on walks. In fact, Lucky has quite a few experiences with exploring the outside world through Fido Field trips alongside his fellow HHS companions. This sweet and gentle dog has the cutest smile and droopy ears!
Deputy Dog

Deputy Dog is a two-year-old Hound/mix that transferred from another shelter to his current place of residence at HHS. Being the friendly and affectionate animal companion that he is, Deputy Dog swiftly became a regular heart-stealer of HHS staff and volunteers. Deputy Dog is an eager learner and has the potential to become an amazing family dog when working with someone who’ll give him the time and patience. He is a huge people lover, and absolutely adores belly rubs!
