Our Buddy
When we adopted Blue (formerly Rusty) from HSHV, he was frightened to death. It took me 3 hours to get him out of my car at home. His story was that he was abandoned by his former owner, taken in by friends for a night before being surrendered to HSHV. Today, he is our buddy. He has taken two classes at HSHV, reactive rover and basic manners. He now loves cuddles at night, snowy playtime in the backyard, and chasing our Roomba around the house. We can’t imagine our life without him. Rusty now Blue
