You Can Be Hashbrown's Hero
Hashbrown hasn’t had the easiest life. The almost 3-year-old Terrier blend was born blind and abandoned on the streets of Maui. One of Helen Woodward Animal Center’s partner organizations found him and figured he’d have a better chance of finding a forever family on the mainland. He traveled 2500 miles to us in the beginning of 2025 and has been searching for a home ever since. Hashbrown may be blind, but he doesn’t let that stop him from living a fulfilling life. He can navigate stairs, loves exploring the world with his hearing and sense of smell, and is a huge cuddlebug. He’s looking for a home with kids over 10 and a friendly pet sibling to look out for him. Come meet Hashbrown today!
Hashbrown is waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. He has been altered and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. He is microchipped for identification as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center.
Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open Monday to Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1.
Helen Woodward Animal Center pets come from a variety of sources, such as the transfer of animals from public shelters to relieve overcrowding, working with local dog and cat rescues, as well as owner surrender. Every animal in our pet adoption program has received a medical examination, spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, tons of TLC and a microchip. Our goal is to adopt our pets into loving and permanent homes. Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Counselors are here to help you choose a pet who will be your perfect match for life.
