Tomorrow is our one year anniversary of adopting Vaughn, a shy pit bull mix who immediately stole our hearts. He’s still very shy, but he has come such a long way since we first adopted him. He LOVES his family and his personality really shines around us. He has a greyhound sister who he loves cuddling with on the couch and running with outside! He loves getting scratches, pawing at us for more. He loves to cuddle with me on the couch, sometimes climbing on top of me for maximum coziness. I work at a dog daycare, and he goes

When I first visited Sid he was very anxious and would not let me touch him for several days. Once I brought him home, he was a totally different dog. Sid spends his days cuddling with me and playing with his toys (when he’s not napping). Thank you so much for taking care of him. He really is a good boy.

Lucy is a typical sassy and smart husky! Understandably, she was a bit timid at first as her and her brothers came to HSHV after their owner was in a tragic accident.

We were told she has anxiety and is on her medication. We were concerned at first, since Duke had a lot of behavioral issues. She, however, has been a very happy dog once she got used to us and her new home. She loves to go for a

Yes, I’m talking about Uffda (formerly Puma). Later this month it will be 13 years since this one from HSHV moved in with me and in some ways it still feels as if it all happened just 13 days ago. He and I both knew we were meant for each other when we met, something that gets reaffirmed every single day. He was incredibly quick to make himself at home, sleeping on my bed the first night and every night since then. So here he is, at least 14 years old and possibly as old as 16 years old, still
