Yoki
My name is Yoki. One morning I decided to go exploring to see what new things I could discover. I traveled all day long and was so happy when a nice employee at the Canine Country Club found me. After living at the CCC for a little while, I was so excited when one of their fabulous groomers took me home! I am so glad to have a new forever home where I can visit my friends here at the Canine Country Club whenever I please. |
 |
Vegas
Hi there, my name is Vegas. I am a 4 month old boxer mix who found my way over to Highland Park with a broken leg. Good news is, I am all better now and I sure know how to make everyone's heart melt. I love to play, cuddle and am great with other dogs. I couldn't be happier that Jackie, a tech here at HPAH, is now my new owner. |

Grady
Hi, my name is Grady. I'm a sweet, playful boy who loves to hang out with people. I'm a neutered male and I'm FIV positive. My favorite things to do are to talk to people with my squeaky meow and gobble my food! I sure will miss all my friends at HPAH but am so happy to have found a new home! |
 |

 |
Don Juan DeMarco
Hola, my name is Don Juan DeMarco. I am a one year old, neutered Boston terrier. I am quite the charmer, especially with the ladies. Unfortunately, my bigger sister doesn't think I'm amusing and she picks on me, which is why I'm searching for a new home. I get along great with cats and I'm very playful; most importantly, if you're ever looking for a kiss, I'm the man for the job! Now I'm excited to have a new family to love on! |

 |
Olé
I'm just a little girl who was lost in Dallas and I didn't know where to go. So one day I decided to hitch a ride on a Mexican food delivery van, which turned out to be a very scary idea. I rode around all morning until we reached Highland Park Animal Hospital; that's when one of the technicians came out and rescued me from above the gas tank and I have been here ever since! I'm a sassy chica who loves to explore and play; once I wear myself out though, I just want to curl up with someone and sleep. I'm so happy I can run around and play with my new sibling, Todd, in our forever home! |
 |
Noodles
Well, hey there! My name is Noodles because I'm oodles of fun! I was traveling around Dallas when I met a nice woman who took me in. It turns out she is the sister of one of the technicians at Highland Park Animal Hospital, so they decided to help me find a home. I'm a little bundle of happiness; if I'm playing or carrying my leash on walks, I'm the luckiest little dog in the world! Now I've got a sweet new family to canoodle with! |
 |
Matey
Ahoy there, ye landlubbers! Me name is Matey, and me pirate ship was marooned on the shores of White Rock Lake during one of me swashbuckling adventures with the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. I took an injury to me eye before I could invoke the right of parley, so I headed to Highland Park Animal Hospital where they patched me up. Now I'm a one-eyed scalawag who loves to go for walks and play with people of all ages. Now it's time for me to hang up me captain's hat because I've found me a seaworthy home! |
 |
Booger
When I was born, I was supposed to be a show cat. But the life of glitz and glamor was not for me; I was the runt of my litter. Instead, I was fostered by some nice people from the Canine Country Club for almost eight months. I loved living with them, but now it's time for me to find my forever home. I'm 2 1/2 years old, declawed and neutered. I get along with other kitties and I adore people. I'm so happy I found my new forever home! |
 |
Ketchup
Howdy! My name is Ketchup and I'm the sweetest lab you'll ever meet! I came to Highland Park after hearing what a great place it was, but now I'm looking for a home to call my own. I'm very loveable and I want to be with people whenever I can. I'm the luckiest dog in the world now that I've found my forever home with two siblings! |
 |
Penelope
My name is Penelope and I'm a three year old short haired kitty. I'm very sweet and loving and even though I am great at being social with other pets, I would prefer to be in a single animal household. I have already been spayed, vaccinated, and declawed in the front. My favorite pastime is getting attention and love from people; it doesn't matter if they're old or young, I love everyone! Now I'm so happy I have my forever home! |
 |
Ike
Hi, my name is Ike. I found my way to the Highland Park Animal Hospital after getting lost and wandering around Dallas. I'm a laid back kitty who loves attention and food; in my spare time, I like to just chill out. Now I've got a family to say "I like Ike" and love on me every day! |
 |
Nacho
Hi! My name is Nacho and even though I've had a pretty rough life, I'm the happiest little chihuahua you'll ever meet! I came to Highland Park Animal Hospital to have my leg, which had been fractured for a while, fixed up. However, because of how extensive the damage was, my leg had to be amputated. Don't worry, though; I'm a happy- go- lucky, stand on my own three feet boy. I love other dogs and people and all I want to do is run around and play! I'm so lucky to have found my forever home! |
 |
Hansel
Hi! My name is Hansel and my sister and I got lost again! Don't listen to Gretel; she was the one who was supposed to leave the trail of food. But like she said, our story is much happier this time – no witches, although I do miss the candy. Gretel and I are best friends; we love being around each other all the time. I'm a little more adventurous than Gretel, but I still love playing with her. I'm so excited that I have a great family with lots of siblings to play with now! |
 |
Gretel
Hello, my name is Gretel and my brother and I have had quite an adventure. We were taking a walk around Dallas and after a while we realized we were lost! This never would have happened if Hansel had left a trail of kitten food like I told him. Don't worry, though – we got lucky this time and ended up at Highland Park Animal Hospital instead of a witch's house! Hansel and I are best friends; we love being around each other all the time. I'm a little more cautious than Hansel, but I still love playing with him. I'm so excited to have found a wonderful home where I can play with my new family! |
 |
Taxi
Hello there! My name is Taxi and I'm the best little boy you'll ever meet. Before I came to Highland Park Animal Hospital I was so sad and lonely trying to find a home. Then one day I hitched a ride to Highland Park where I knew they would love and take care of me. I have enjoyed it here but I am ready to find my forever home. Walks are one of my favorite things and I can't wait to take a long walk with my new parents! Now I have a sibling to play with all day and a family to call my own! |
 |
Sasha
My name is Sasha and I'm a shepherd mix who is searching for my new forever home. I was previously a Hard Luck Hound, and my owners love me very much, but I'm looking for a family who can give me lots of room to run around and play. I love being around people, and I'm great with kids and other dogs! I'm a sweet-hearted, adventurous girl and now I've got a forever home and a wonderful new mom! |
 |
Freddie Mercury
I'm just a poor boy who was under pressure to start a new life. Even though my life has been no bed of roses, I'm a sweet boy who just wants to find somebody to love. I'm happiest when I'm with someone who will give me lots of love and affection or play with me outside! I believed in a crazy little thing called love and now I have a family and home of my own! |
 |
Boudreau
When I came to Dallas, I didn't know where to go. I was limping because of an old injury and I needed a doctor to help. Fortunately, I was directed to the Highland Park Animal Hospital and the doctors there fixed me right up. Now I can run around outside and be the happy-go-lucky dog that I am at heart! I'm so excited because I have a fantastic new family to love! |
 |
Darla
I arrived in Dallas all alone and I didn't know where to go. Luckily, I heard about Highland Park Animal Hospital and headed in that direction. When I first came to the clinic, I was very shy, but once I got to know everyone I let my personality come out. I am a sweet, smart little girl who is looking for an amazing family to spend the rest of my life with! I'm so happy I found the perfect home with two kids to play with! |
 |
“Hippa” (Hungry Hungry Hippa)
Hi! My name is Hippa and I was found by Highland Park Animal Hospital's Dr. Henry. I got my name because when I first came to the clinic I ate like a Hungry Hungry Hippa! I'm a lovable little girl who is happiest when I have someone to snuggle and play with. I love being outside and I'm great with people and dogs of all ages! I'm so happy I have a wonderful home now! |
 |
Cici
Hi! My name is Cici and even though I had a rough start to life, I'm a very sweet girl. My family moved away and left me to fend for myself, but luckily my neighbors were nice enough to take care of me. However, I didn't want to be a burden on them, so I made my way over to the Highland Park Animal Hospital. They have taken great care of me, but now I'd love to find my forever home. I've got lots of personality and I love to play! Thanks to Cara for giving me my new home! |
 |

Hi! My name is Sadie and I'm a very sweet girl who loves to just be around people. I'm very low maintenance and I love to show everyone that I can sit and shake! Thanks so much to Highland Park Animal Hospital for finding me a great home! |
 |
Andy
When I came into Highland Park Animal Hospital, everyone adored me. I was a little kitten who loved to snuggle and just be held. In fact, I was so lovable that a new client decided to adopt me! Now I've got the perfect home with two little kids to love and play with me. Thanks for giving me a great new life! |
 |
Xilla
I had a tough start to life. The first thing I remember is crawling around in someone's yard during the middle of a typically hot Texas day. Luckily, the yard I was in happened to be Nichole's, a technician at Highland Park Animal Hospital! She took me and my sister in and brought us back to health. Now I'm a happy little kitten who loves to talk a lot and run around. Thanks so much to Amy for giving me a great home! |
 |
Zapp Brannigan
When I arrived at Highland Park Animal Hospital, I was a scared little boy. I had been living all by myself on the streets of Dallas and I'd had to fend for myself! Everyone at Highland Park Animal Hospital was so nice to me though, and now I love to play with them! Sometimes I get nervous around other people and dogs, but everyone's been helping me get over my fears. Thanks to Hannah for adopting me and giving me a great new home with a playful brother and sister! |
 |
Wilma
My brother and I seemed to have been dealt an unlucky hand at first because we had no food or shelter, but thankfully we were found by one of Highland Park Animal Hospital's technicians, Nichole! I loved living at Highland Park Animal Hospital, but now I'm even happier because I've found a great home with a little girl to give me lots of love and attention! |
 |
Yancy
I had been wandering all over Dallas when I came across the Katy Trail and followed it to the Highland Park Animal Clinic. Everyone there thought I was great and gave me lots of attention. Not only do I have five toes on my back paws, I smile when I'm happy and my tail is wagging all the time! I love dogs, cats and anyone who will give me attention and I can't get enough of walks on the Katy Trail or just being with people. Thanks for finding me such a great home where I can run around and play! |
 |
Victor
I was growing up on the streets of west Dallas, braving the elements and fending for myself, when I decided it was time for a change. So one day I packed up and headed south looking for a new life. That's when I found Highland Park Animal Hospital, and they liked me so much they took me in. Since then, I've decided I want to become a part of a loving family. I may talk tough, but I'm really just a little scaredy-cat who purrs all the time and is afraid of heights. Thank you so much to Robert, our kennel technician, for taking me home! |
 |
Theo
Hi! My name is Theo and I'm the happiest little kitten you'll ever find! I was living on the Katy Trail until I discovered Highland Park Animal Hospital and all of the nice people that work there. Although I don't have a tail, I'm a sweetie who loves to play and purr all day. I'm now so happy to have a home with Ashley, one of our employees from the Canine Country Club! |
 |
Pammy Prissy Pants
Shortly after I was born, I was living a hard life on the streets by myself. Luckily, I happened upon Highland Park Animal Hospital, so I snuck in. When they found me, they just couldn't resist my cuteness, so they let me stay. I was so little that I had to be bottle-fed and my right eye wasn't working properly, so I got lots of attention at the clinic. Some of the technicians even liked me enough to bring me home some nights so I wouldn't be alone! Now I'm much bigger and stronger and I love to play and snuggle up with my stuffed animals. I finally have my forever home where I get to play with my new sister! Thank you HPAH for finding me a home! |
 |
Rizzo
When I first came to the clinic, I was misunderstood. They thought I was too rambunctious, but really I was a young, wild child just looking for a little bit of love. Now that everyone knows how sweet and playful I am, they want to find me a permanent home where I can roam and play all day long. I am so excited to have finally found my forever home! I even have a big brother to play with! Thank-you HPAH for finding me such a great family! |
 |
Nash
Hi! I'm Nash and even though I'm only four months old, I have been on quite an adventure. I was lonely at my previous home so I decided to explore Dallas in search of a buddy. Unfortunately, while on my adventure, I was hit by a car and broke my leg! The word on the street was that Dr. Vandermeer at Highland Park Animal Hospital could fix any broken bone so I hitchhiked to the clinic. My surgery went great, but I'm still learning how to use my leg again. I'm so grateful for my new owners Robert and Victoria! |
 |
Lenny
Hi! My name is Lenny and I am a basset hound mix with one blue eye. One of the clinic's loyal clients rescued me and brought me to the clinic. Unfortunately, I am heartworm positive and am currently undergoing treatment. I am shy around big dogs, but I love to play with little ones. My favorite things are ear rubs, long walks on the katy trail, and biscuits! Now I have everything I have ever dreamed of in my new forever home! Thank you for finding me such a great family! |
 |
Jimminy
I came in with my brother, Kricket, at just nine weeks old. Although we go together like two peas in a pod, I'm ready to part ways and be with a family of my own! The both of us aren't quite sure what are parents really are. I think our mom is a Jack Russell Terrier mix, and our father is a Chihuahua, however, Kricket disagrees. It doesn't matter anymore though because my new home with Paul and Sarah has proven to make me feel just as welcome as one of their own children! |
 |
Kricket
My brother Jimminy and I were brought in together to Vickery Place Animal Hospital before we were transferred to Highland Park Animal Hospital. We were just nine weeks old! Although we came in together, we tend to beat each other up, must be a "brother thing". We argue about all sorts of things, especially about our parents. Jimminy is convinced mom is a Jack Russell Terrier mix, and dad is a Chihuahua. I believe mom is a Shih Tzu mix and dad is a Labrador Retriever. Either way, turned out to be in my benefit since Mandy from the Canine Country Club thought i was handsome enough to bring me home and invite me in as a new addition to her family! |
 |
Isaac
Thank you Vickery Place Animal Hospital for taking me in and giving me all of the tender love and care I needed before I could go home with my new family. I am so excited to be a part of Paul's family, a client of Highland Park Animal Hospital. Who would have thought a trial "take home" would become permanent so quickly? They love me so much that now I am considered a full time family member! I am so excited about my new family and for all of the wonderful memories we will share together! |
 |
Hermione
Thank you Dr. Vandermeer for taking me in and giving me shelter! I know I was a spoiled rotten resident while I was staying with you. I am so excited to go live with Sue, a client of Highland Park, and I can't wait to play with my new brothers and sister! |
 |
Margie
Melissa, a client of the Highland Park Animal Hospital, rescued me and brought me here. It didn't take very long for me to be adopted, because I'm pretty cute and Dr. Dixon agreed, since she decided to invite me into her home! |
 |
Baxter
Baxter has been through the ringer, traveling the hard streets of Dallas, when he was finally rescued and brought to us. He now has a wonderful new home with John and Patricia, who fell in love with him and adopted him in early December 2009. |
 |
Farley
Farley came to us with a badly injured rear leg. He had been hit by a car and was in desperate need of medical attention. Unfortunately, the leg could not be saved, but he is doing quite well on three! Farley has a great personality in spite of his bad luck! He is extremely friendly and just an all around good boy. We are so excited to announce his new owner, one of our own technicians, Rachel. |
 |
Einstein
"Pick me! Pick me!" says Einstein. He was brought in by one of our faithful clients, having only a few cuts and scrapes. He is a charming and intelligent fellow with a big heart. Einstein was adopted into a loving forever home in November of 2009. |
 |
Biscuit
Hello! My name is Biscuit! I am a 7 year old, beautiful silver seal point Persian and I am already spayed and declawed. I found my forever home with Kat, one of the veterinary technicians that works at the clinic. I love to cuddle and I enjoy being brushed by my new mom! |
 |
Taco
On May 26, 2006, a 3 year old male, brown and white Chihuahua mix was brought to HPAH by the SPCA. Taco had a broken pelvis, a dislocated knee and a slight case of heartworms. The doctors at HPAH performed surgery to fix the pelvis and the knee. Taco will soon be undergoing treatment for the heartworms. Taco was adopted on June 20, 2006 into a loving home with Marcy of Dallas, TX. |
 |
Reba
On May 15, 2006, a 12-16 week old female, black Labrador Retriever was surrendered to the Emergency Animal Clinic. Reba was brought in for severe hair loss and diagnosed with Demodex mange. This type of mange is not contagious to others, but requires treatment to clear it up. The owner surrendered her due to financial reasons. Reba has been adopted into a loving home with one of our former staff members, Courtney. She now has 2 sisters: a poodle (Lucy) and a cat (Coco). |
 |
Pepe
On December 26, 2005, a 13-week-old male Pit bull puppy was brought in to HPAH from the SPCA with a broken right rear leg. His leg was already in a splint and appeared to be healing well. The doctors of HPAH elected to monitor his leg rather than surgically treat it and it eventually healed on its own. Pepe was adopted on August 20, 2006 into a loving home with Arney of Garland, TX. |
 |
Ima
On July 28, 2005, the SPCA discovered a 1 year old female cat that had been caught up in the engine of a car after taking a little "cat nap". Due to the severe injuries sustained by the incident, this little nap cost Ima her left rear leg and her tail. The doctors of HPAH amputated both shortly after her arrival. She has since made a full recovery and been spayed and fully vaccinated. Ima now resides in a very loving, musical home with Scott and Ann and their other cat J.J. of Dallas. |
 |
Captain (Cappy)
On March 4, 2005, Captain was brought to Highland Park Animal Hospital. His left front foot had been crushed. He was found by the SPCA abandoned, hungry and limping. The doctors of HPAH re-set the bones in his foot and placed a splint. After a little time and with a lot of tender loving care, Cappy made a full recovery. He now resides with Mike, where he is still trying to get Socks and Mr. Peabody (2 cats) to play with him. |
 |
Biscuit Ben
On September 20, 2007, a 5-week-old, male Domestic Short-Haired Tabby was left at the Emergency Animal Clinic. Dr. Morse brought him here to help him find a new home. He had an injured rear leg, but made a full recovery. One of Highland Park's clients, Charla, fell in love with him and adopted him. Now he gets to play with his new siblings Diego and Bandit! |
 |
Aiden (Radar)
On September 4, 2007, the SPCA brought this 4-month-old Australian cattle dog to us because of a broken elbow (that may require amputation). He is a very sweet dog, who has not been neutered yet, and is full of energy. Aiden is a loving boy that is great with other dogs and people. He found a loving home in October 2007. |
