Glacier loves being home!

May 29, 2025 | Comments Off on Glacier loves being home!

Glacier is such a loving boy. He loves playing and giving hugs and kisses and treats! He’s such a playful dog he loves going for car rides and cuddling and he loves stuff, kids. I love this dog so much and when I saw him online I said to myself and grandma that I needed him. Him and his naps, man he takes at least 5-7 a day and his little snores are adorable! He always cuddles up with everyone, he loves his grandma that’s for sure! I am so glad we adopted HSHV, they have great staff and adorable

Nori – stealer of socks <3

Nori – stealer of socks <3

We went to the HSHV this last Saturday looking for a new addition to our family. We found 3 nuppins that seemed like our kind of dogs and that might mesh well with Kona, our one and only spoiled, old and grumpy wuppins nuppins. Sunday we returned for a PJ party pick up with Nori, 1 out of 3, but after 3 days with this beautiful girl we knew she was meant to be part of our family. She is loving, attentive, protective, playful, soft and kind to our old grumpy Kona, is curious about the cats, but doesn’t have

May 15, 2025 | Comments Off on Nellie is Looking for a Foster

Age: 4  Sex: Female   Breed: Pit Mix   Weight: 52 Pounds Nellie is a sweet girl who can be a little shy with strangers, but warms up quickly. She has been calm and polite when spending time in the behavior office. She is not comfortable around other dogs, so will need a foster home without other dogs and someone willing to work with her on reactivity training. Nellie is very smart and has been picking up on training quickly! We do not have any history on her around cats, so she would need a separate space and slow introductions if going to a home

Repeat Offender

Repeat Offender

May 8, 2025 | Comments Off on Repeat Offender

We adopted Dallas (now Drasek) back in 2015. We were told he was a “repeat offender,” having been in and out of HSHV several times. He has a destructive side that proved to be challenging for many owners. This was to be his last adoption, and when we brought our dog Chloe in to meet him, they immediately bonded. The first few years were rough. He broke out of every kennel he was ever placed in, tore up some drywall, ate all the food in the pantry! But eventually we came to an understanding, and with a bit of training
