Reptar now Jack I recently lost my best friend of 13.5 years, and I was devastated. I knew I had a lot of love to give and wanted to find the “right” dog to love on. Not a replacement but a new best friend. My dad and I decided to browse the kennels at HSHV on a very busy Saturday. We walked through once, and I found out the one dog I was interested in already had two holds on him. My dad suggested going for one more lap. Partway through, I noticed a door leading outside and we decided

A Bunny Tale

My fiancé and I adopted Posie on New Year’s Eve two years ago. I noticed her in the ‘Adoptable Animals’ and saw that she was not adopted month after month. We went in to visit her, and were told that people were afraid to handle her. Her nickname was the Tiny Terror! She weighs a pound and a half but drew blood regularly. She let me stroke her tiny nose and that’s when I knew I was in love. We brought her home the same day. Now her demeanor has totally changed. She is the sweetest little cuddlebug! She loves

Wonderful Addition to the Family!

March 22, 2018 | Comments Off

Since finding her furever home with our family over a year ago, Aurora has snuggled her way onto our laps and into our hearts! She is incredibly smart. She knows her toys: QueeK QueeK (the mouse), Potty Mouse (the catnip mouse that she often sits on), crinkly ball, pink ball, etc. She has also been known to bring them upon request. Aurora has a discerning palate, and truly seems to enjoy ginger broccoli — and to my chagrin — lemon-lime cookies that I left on the counter in a plastic Ziploc baggie! (Won’t do that again!) Aurora loves her sporadic
