Cupcake
This shy terrier mix is sweet, playful and ready for her forever home.

Meet Cupcake, a 2-year-old terrier mix with a heart as big as her name suggests. This brown-and-white beauty weighs in at 74 pounds and has an affectionate, cuddly nature that’s hard to resist. Cupcake came to Hilton Head Humane after her family could no longer care for her, a change that left her overwhelmed and timid. Having spent her early years without much socialization, the busy shelter environment was initially frightening for her. But thanks to the dedication of the shelter staff and volunteers, Cupcake has blossomed! With hours of one-on-one care, she has gained confidence and is now thriving. She attends obedience classes, participates in adoption events and loves her doggy playgroups. Cupcake is the perfect blend of an active, playful pup and a calm, laid-back companion. While she may be shy around new people, her sweet and gentle personality shines through once she feels comfortable — and she’s absolutely worth the wait.

Cool cat: Parker
Parker, a 1-year-old domestic shorthair with a stunning tortoiseshell coat, is the epitome of spunk and charm. She was discovered as a stray at a Parker’s Gas Station, which inspired her unique name. She’s a social butterfly who adores meeting new people, cats and even dogs, making her the life of any gathering. However, she also knows how to unwind and enjoys cuddling up with her friends for some well-earned relaxation. Parker’s petite size belies her love for food — she’s a self-proclaimed foodie who’s always eager to sample anything and everything. While she’s not picky, she does have one dislike: being told she can’t indulge in dog food or treats. With her outgoing, affectionate personality and a playful streak, Parker is the perfect addition to any family looking for a furry companion who brings both fun and love in equal measure.
