Meet Rosa and Landis!

By Amanda Volden

There's always something new and exciting going on at HSVC! Yesterday these two loves were surrendered to our Humane Officers in the field. ROSA: Rosa is a Yellow Nape Amazon Parrot. She is between 18-20 years old. She is very sweet, has been handled a lot and loves both men and women (not sure about children). Her favorite treat is peanuts. Rosa loves to sing and has the sweetest giggle, AND she's bilingual! Rosa knows mostly Spanish but can speak a few words in English as well.

SUCCESS STORIES – MAGGIE

By David Gersh

Maggie (another unclaimed stray) stole our hearts! She spent every day up in the Administration building in her comfy bed by the fireplace. We needed to keep a close eye on her because she was very overweight at 96 pounds and we wanted to be sure she was healthy before putting her up for adoption.
