My very first pet ever when living on my own was Princess. I went in with this dead set mind of “black, elderly, Male cat.” Because I thought I knew what I wanted. Then this sassy chick walked up and demanded to be taken home, and I understood suddenly that it didn’t matter what I wanted, this one chose me to take her home. And that was nearly 3 years ago! She has been my rock in all of the downs and scary moments in my life. I love her to pieces; she is my true savior, honestly. She now

Eggbert-Albert came into HSHV on 12/13/18, sick and wounded. He had a long recovery and was tube fed as he would not eat. On 1/12/19 we met Eggbert-Albert, and fell in love with him. He even started eating when we were there, and on 1/13/19 he went to his Purrfect home! He is lovable, full of personality with a mystical face, loves the car, and asks for treats. Thank you for rescuing Eggbert-Albert AKA KITZ and giving him a chance to be loved.   Eggbert-Albert now Smoky “Kitz”

Just wanted to send you an update. This dog is a love. In the daytime, she sleeps beside me on the couch; at night, she curls up next to me in bed. She is totally housebroken, wags her tail all the time, and appears to be very happy here. My granddaughters got to meet her recently. She was perfect. Thank you again for helping me to adopt Molly. She had a bath yesterday and smells like lavender. I absolutely love her!

We adopted Rey on 4/8/2016. She was brought in on the PetSmart Rescue Waggin’ (now HSHV’s Love Train) and was placed for adoption on 1/6/2016. We are so very lucky to have her in our lives. She is the best with my sons ( 9 yrs & 3 yrs). She is honestly the best dog. She is super loving, cuddly and super smart. She has shown to be a huntress and has shown squirrels, rabbits and ground hogs that her yard in not a place for them to be. She is super sassy and has no problem telling you her

In 2010, my daughter wanted a cat to come home to while living away at school. We came to HSHV to check out all the cats/kittens. We had no one in mind. Pandora was the cat who came to the front of her cage, put her paws out for attention and purred her heart out! We brought her home; she spent 2 years with my daughter in her apartment and then several years living with us. She was a cuddler and always wanted to be where we were. Sadly, she passed this January, but the love she gave us while
