We have been coming to HSHV regularly over the last few months, just keeping our eyes open for the perfect bigger pup who might get along with our two 5 lb chihuahuas.

She has only playful energy towards our little girls, and the staff were so incredibly helpful in deciding if her behavior was conducive to having a happy home. Since bringing her home we’ve worked
