Case Dogs Need a Foster

We currently have 6 case dogs waiting for foster placement. They are here because HSHV is the holding facility for animals going through court trials. They can not be adopted. We are not able to spay or neuter them. They would all be much more comfortable in a home since cases can take a long time to resolve. Only the first letter of their name will be provided for privacy.   First is H: Age: 5   Sex: Male   Breed: English Bulldog  Weight: 53 Pounds Restrictions: No Dogs.

The Luckiest Catch!!

We initially wanted to adopt Tommy, but because we wanted a girl, we waited a bit longer (and adopted Tali!). I called back the next day only to hear he was adopted and taken home… Sad, but I was happy for him. The day after, we visited Tiny Lions to see the new kitties, and turns out he had been returned! Couldn’t believe our luck. He’s extremely snuggly and has already found his orange cat voice. Best luck ever. Tommy now Tchotchke

Over the past decade, the veterinary industry has been quietly but rapidly consolidated by corporate giants and private equity firms. An estimated 25–30% of
