Feeling a little lovesick? HSEP has the Remedy for you!

This friendly, outgoing pup is Remedy, a one-year-old Shepherd mix, and she’s here to heal your heart! Seemingly made up of sugar, spice, and everything nice, you’ll never see this girl without a huge smile on her face. This brilliant girl is super motivated by treats, toys, and love; she picks up on new tricks quickly and already has a handle on the basics like sit and down. Not to mention, Remedy already knows her manners on the leash, so taking her on walks is a breeze!

If you happen to be in search of your own personal ray of sunshine to brighten your days, Remedy is just what you need! Stop by HSEP and meet with this loving pup today.

Put that winter coat back on, Eliza! Cold days are coming up fast ☃️

This silly-looking pup is Eliza, a three-year-old Golden Retriever mix who seems to be capable of giving herself a summer cut, so that you don’t have to! She shed off her big, fluffy coat shortly after coming to HSEP, and all that seems to be left is her fluffy lion’s mane around her ears! As pretty as she is, though, this pup doesn’t need a fluffy coat to charm you with her loving and brilliant nature. Eliza is absolutely sweeter than pie and loves to greet her friends with a goofy smile and a full-body wiggle that’ll never fail to make you laugh. She’s a total people-pleaser who’s quick to catch onto tricks and eager to show them off, too!

Poofy, floofy, and made of all of the love in the world: Eliza may take the cake for goodest girl ever. Stop by HSEP and meet her today!

Eliza’s adoption fee has been sponsored by SCNAVTA at PIMA

Tag that one friend who’s always napping 🐶💤 They’re going to love Burr-Nice!

Meet Burr-Nice, HSEP’s certified sleepyhead. This low-energy pup can often be found huddled up and chilling out in pretty much any situation, inside or outside - any time can be naptime if you’re devoted enough! This one-year-old German Shepherd mix is definitely devoted, while she can have her playful streaks for a super exciting toy or with a doggy playmate, Burr-Nice is a girl who generally opts for a night in, cuddled up in the comfiest spot she can find. She’s houstrained, crate-trained, and good with cats, dogs, and people of all ages, so Burr-Nice is the perfect fit for any home that can match her docile energy!

You need a good snuggle buddy, and this girl needs someone to cozy up with. Stop by HSEP today and meet gentle Burr-Nice!

Order up! Who asked for the calm husky?

Cool, laid-back Lola is happy to meet you… Oh, and those people over there… Plus a big hello to that guy! (You get the picture) This five-year-old husky is a social butterfly and always happy to make a new friend, especially if treats are on hand and she can show off her skills! This ridiculously smart pup already knows sit, wait, and paw, with her biggest hobby seeming to be emptying your pockets of treats by showing off her tricks every time, all the time! More than anything, though, this chill pup just prefers to hang out with her friends and take it easy.

So if you were looking for a dog with all of the wit and good looks of a husky, with a level-headed and laid-back nature, Lola’s your girl!

Say you’re from El Paso… Without saying you’re from El Paso.

Meet HSEP’s very own Chico, a six-year-old Chihuahua who’s still searching for home plate. This sweet older pup is a docile and well-behaved guy who loves people… and more importantly, sitting in people’s laps. With such a quiet nature, little Chico is perfectly happy cuddling up with you and watching the world go by for hours on end. In fact, nothing would make him happier!

So, if you’re looking for your very own Chico to watch the next game with, stop by HSEP and meet him today!

Guess who’s back, back again: Curty’s back, tell your friends!

Meet Curtis, HSEP’s longest resident, who just got back from his foster vacay and is ready to get back to looking for his forever home. After 178 days, Curtis is coming very close to hitting six months as a shelter pup, and he’s not looking forward to celebrating that anniversary. This one-year-old Shar Pei mix has spent almost a third of his life without a family of his own, and it’s his turn to find his people.

Curtis is a well-behaved and endlessly goofy pup who loves everyone he meets and has mastered the play/chill balance. While he loves to play in any form (toys, walks, wrestling, other dogs, etc), Curtis is perfectly happy sitting next to you and kicking up his feet to relax or rolling over for belly rubs at any given moment. He’s a smart boy who will show off his plethora of tricks for toys, treats, or even just a kind word. Not only that, but Curtis shows strong signs of housetraining, loves car rides, and has fantastic leash manners, so he’s the best adventure buddy you could ask for!

Whatever you want to do, Curtis wants to do it too; you’re his best friend after all! So come to HSEP and pick him up, he’s ready to go home.

Curtis' adoption fee is sponsored by SCNAVTA at PIMA.

Can’t adopt, but want to help Curty Boy find his furever family? Share his post to help him get seen!

Whether you’re ready to play, taking a stroll, staying in and chilling out, eating a snack (that you definitely want to share with him, right?), this smart young man is always ready to match your energy.

You heard that right, Mookie really is the perfect pup. So stop by HSEP and meet with him today!

You know what they say… Find a Penny, pick it up, and your whole life long you’ll have a good pup!

That’s how Penny says it, at least. She would know, you can tell by her impeccable fashion sense that she’s pretty trustworthy. This sweet and gentle girl is a two-year-old beagle mix in search of her furever family, and she has some requirements!

✅ A Lap to Cuddle In
✅ Someone to Greet at the Door.
✅ At Least One Cute Sweater.
✅ The Coziest Blanket in Your House.

Call her spoiled, but this Lucky Penny knows her worth! So if you’re looking for a dog to cuddle, dress up, and absolutely adore, pick up this Penny at HSEP today!

Penny is part of HSEP’s medical foster-to-adopt program due to her receiving heartworm treatment. All of Penny’s medical care will be provided while she recovers in your home. The when HSEP’s vet team clears her, you can proceed with adoption and officially add her to the family!

What We’re All About

The Humane Society of El Paso (HSEP) is the oldest and largest NO-Kill animal shelter in the City and County of El Paso, Texas and have remained in continuous operation for over 66 years for the purpose of building a better community for all animals through adoptions, education, foster-care, volunteer work and community events.

The HSEP is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and does not receive any funding from the City or County of El Paso, the State of Texas or the federal government. The facility is totally dependent on adoption and service fees, fundraising activities, donations from the community and grants for all of the operating expenses. The HSEP is NOT affiliated with any national organization such as the Humane Society of the United States, nor is it a member agency of the United Way of El Paso County.

The HSEP also has an on-site veterinary clinic to provide necessary medical care to residents. The facility does not provide veterinary services to the public or to owned animals. In accordance with state law, all animals adopted out of the HSEP are surgically sterilized prior to release to a new pet parent.

In 2010, the Humane Society of El Paso became a no-kill shelter. Our goal now is to help make El Paso a no-kill city by collaborating with animal welfare organizations within our community.
