Zoey was adopted on 12-30-25! She is so sweet and smart! Already housebroken, knows sit, down, stay, crate, and loves to play and cuddle! She made herself at home the minute she walked in the door. She has welcomed all visitors with serious tail wagging. Neptune now Zoey

The members of Scout Troop #78151 are so kind! They love animals and have been wanting to visit HSHV, where they could help animals and give back to the community. So, members choose HSHV as the recipient of their service project! They made cozy fleece blankets for the animals and used troop funds to purchase dog and cat food, toys, treats, collars, and leashes. Thank you so much, Troop #78151! We greatly appreciate your thoughtful donation, thank you!

Age: 6 Sex: Male Breed: Pit Mix Weight: 81lbs Restrictions: No Dogs. No Kids. Naveen is a shy dog looking for some respite from the shelter havoc and would love to show somebody who he is in a quiet environment. He does well working with staff and volunteers while out for training sessions (Naveen is currently on our Headstart team getting one-on-one training sessions to help build confidence and is typically treat-motivated) but can take some time to warm up to unfamiliar people and would benefit from slow introductions. Due to his cautious nature, he should not go with dogs or kids under 5 and

Best thing that happened to me in 2025 was this beautiful creature. He was described as “spicy” and “food obsessed” and was an owner surrender. His tail is oddly short and has a permanent kink in it (doctor said it is fine). He had to be isolated in his own cat condo. But he was one of two cats at the shelter who was known to be good with dogs. Ozai took his time to warm up. He was stand offish. He ate a lot when he got here. He shed so much I took him to get checked out-

Age: 5 Sex: Male Breed: Pit Mix Weight: 53lbs Restrictions: No Kids. No Cats. Magnus is a high energy guy who will do best in an active home. He can be unsure of people at first and is jumpy and overstimulated during greetings but is a total cuddle bug with people he knows. He has been here multiple times and struggles being in a kennel on the adoptions floor where people have to pass him all the time. He does not like being crated or confined, which adds to his stress here. He has a history of doing well with other dogs and enjoys playing with them.

Age: 4 Sex: Male Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Weight: 44 Pounds Holmes has been quite fearful and shut down at the shelter. He will need a foster who can pay attention to his body language and listen to him when he is feeling uncomfortable. He came in after being live trapped, though shows some indication of having lived with a person before (wearing a collar, knows the cue “sit.”) He was not been comfortable with people touching him and will move away or turn to avoid it, but will seek proximity to people and lay near to you. He came in with very poor

In 2023 I adopted Baby (Princess Piggy) from HSHV. I saw how well loved she was by all the staff there so it brings great sadness to share that she passed in the fall of 2025. After her adoption she struggled a little to adapt to having cat siblings in the house, but fortunately we were able to find her a loving home with a man who took wonderful care of her and even adopted a baby sister for her named Lola. He renamed her Baby after adopting her and she had the most wonderful life with him, staying right

I first met Ethel in February 2025, shortly after she arrived at HSHV. I volunteer in an area where dogs sometimes are a little more anxious and need to be away from the public. She and I hit it off from our first walk. My wife and I had an older dog who we knew was at his end of life, so there was no way we could bring home another dog. After Artie passed in May, I started to look more at Ethel as a potential addition to our home. Fortunately for us, she lasted until August when we
