Finding Brothers

When my husband and I started dating, we always wanted two dogs. We went looking for dogs, even before we knew we were fully ready for one. After we got married in July of 2016, we really started looking. It became a difficult process as dogs we found online were already adopted by the time we could meet them. One random day, my husband asked me if I wanted to go furniture shopping for our new home and I countered his offer by saying we should check out HSHV. We found our sweet Angus in a kennel and knew he

Nimbus found after four months missing

I adopted Nimbus in March, just before the lockdown orders went into effect and I was just one week into work from home. He was a five year old former stray who cozied up to me right away. Through the months March to July, he was my primary companion. In August, I decided to road trip with him to see family. But when we stopped along the way to see my best friend, Nimbus escaped. We searched in the hours and days after for him, with no sign of him. By September when I returned home, I decided to adopt

1 year old Bailey needed a forever home

We had 2 dogs who passed within months of each other due to age and I felt so lost without a fur baby. I knew I wanted to adopt and was looking for a Jack Russell. My neighbor had one mixed with Chihuahua and he was pretty sweet. Then I saw Bailey on the HSHV adoption page and knew she was for us. She was a Jack Russell mix. We got her home and we loved her immediately. She didn’t know her name or any commands. If she could, she would escape and run down the street with us running

Dolly is our sweet girl

My husband and I got married in 2017, and we each had a dog. His was a German Shepherd (Lanyi) that our whole family adored, including my dog who was two years younger than her. We lost Lanyi suddenly in September of 2019. We were all devastated, especially my husband who’d had her for 12 years. My dog would walk around the house and look for her and just stay sad all the time. It was awful! On Halloween, one of my Facebook friends shared a post of the Love Train puppies available the next day. I convinced my husband
