WE 🩷 THIS FAMILY! The MacElrevey family has bee

WE 🩷 THIS FAMILY! The MacElrevey family has been volunteering with HAP for nearly 10 years!

Dana and Daniel have opened not only their hearts, but also their home to dozens of animals in need over the years. Their favorite fosters ave been challenging but fun, puppies!! While we love all of our fosters, it takes a top tier level of patience to always have a little one in your home, so we appreciate their dedication to our youngsters. The MacElrevey family has adopted their doggos from HAP, so their fosters always have a buddy to play and exercise with too! Dana and Dan will help train basic manners and socialize their foster puppies, which is crucial for when they reach adulthood! In addition to fostering,

Dana and Dan frequently volunteer both on-site and at local community events! From walking dogs around the neighborhood to snuggly in our playroom, they offer compassion and care to every furbaby they meet. At events, they share information about our animals with potential adopters and provide resources for local communities. Additionally, Dana loves to clean, which means we absolutely love having her around! With dozens of animals, things can get messy very quickly. Dana and Dan have donated countless supplies to help us keep our shelter looking beautiful! They recently donated large laundry bins to help keep our hallways organized, which has been a huge help!

Lastly, we have to shout out one of our favorite women, Madison MacElrevey, who worked at HAP Rehoboth Beach before joining the Peace Corps!! We thank the MacElrevey family for their continued support and incredible love for animals, we are so grateful to have you! THANK YOU❤️👏🎉

SWEET SATIVA 🥰👏💜 For National Volunteer A

SWEET SATIVA 🥰👏💜 For National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are highlighting a woman that truly warms our hearts for her endless love and compassion towards animals, Sativa!

Sativa began fostering with HAP in 2021, after adopting a kitty from us. Over the last 3 years, she been incredibly dedicated to supporting animals in need. Sativa’s passion for animals is so strong, she is willing to care for any cat under any circumstance.

Last year, Sativa took in a mom cat and her litter that was likely terminal. Despite their prognosis, Sativa provided them with the best possible care and made them comfortable right in her lap. While we always hope for miracles, the hard reality is that sometimes there is nothing you can do but offer love and compassion to animals before they cross the raindbow bridge. Sadly, two of the kittens passed away and Sativa kept the third kitten, Bennie, giving him the best life.

This year, Sativa felt a connection with our of our preganant mommas, Pixie, and took her into foster. After a lengthy birthing process, Pixie’s kitties started to develop calicivirus, a serious viral infection. Thanks to Sativa’s constant attention and supportive care, all three have fully recovered and are in excellent health! We know firsthand that caring for sick or injured animals can be emotionally, mentally, and physically challenging, but Sativa doesn’t let that stop her from welcoming home another foster cat in need. We appreciate her dedication and feel so lucky to have her on our team! THANK YOU SATIVA🥹🩷🐱

THEY BELONG TOGETHER🐶❤️ This #HAPWoofWednes

THEY BELONG TOGETHER🐶❤️ This #HAPWoofWednesday we are introducing our floofy boys, Benny & Smokey!

These handsome guys came to HAP when their owner was moving and no longer able to take them. From the moment they stepped foot in the shelter, it was clear these pups were significantly undersocialized. Their first few days, they did not eat, would not go outside, and were completely shut down. For nearly a month, they would not allow any handling, cowering in the back of their kennels. Thankfully, their kennels were located directly next to a fenced field, so they were able to go outside during the day to enjoy some extra space. By hanging out with them outside, our team was able to gain their trust! They have truly come so far since then and we are hopeful that someone will be interested in adopting them together!

Benny is the more outgoing of the pair and has warmed up to a majority of our staff, often seen throwing his back end into us for butt scratches. Benny loves chasing and catching tennis balls. He is about 5 years old and Smokey is actually his biological son! Smokey can be more reserved, understandably, as his previous owner said that he had never left home before. While he can be timid, Smokey secretly loves life. Unknowingly to him, our staff has observed him tossing toys for himself and rolling in the grass on many occasions. We have separated them before and they did well, though they do love to be together and we hope someone will give them a chance to be together!

⭐️Smokey & Benny are available for adoption at HAP Wilmington! If interested in adopting, visit humaneanimalpartners.org/adopt or click the link in our bio!
