The Power of Pack Walks

By Amy King

Recently at HSVC, our Animal Ambassadors have been taking our adoptable dogs on pack walks around town! These pack walks give our adoptable dogs an opportunity to get out and see the world outside our shelter. It also allows them to build bonds with other dogs in a safe, comfortable environment. Even our most nervous or anxious dogs benefit immensely from these pack walks because they can come out of their shell feeling the comradery of being with other dogs.

Pupdate - Aria's Litter is 8-weeks-old!

By Amy King

We cannot believe these cuties are 8-weeks-old already! Aria's puppies are growing up to be friendly, sweet, and like most puppies, destructive! They love to chew on anything they can get their teeth on, potty wherever they please, and do not understand personal space. While they are still NOT AVAILABLE for adoption, we hope those interested in adopting with us understand the responsibility of bringing a puppy home. They are a lot of work!

Pupdate: This Bunch is 7-weeks-old!

By Amy King

Aria's rowdy bunch is one week closer to becoming available for adoption! They are now 7-weeks-old and growing rapidly. Our staff and Animal Ambassadors are having a blast teaching them how to play with toys, though lately it seems they like to chew on shoes more! True to their puppy nature, each of these energetic cuties will need a little help learning their manners when it becomes time to find a forever home.
