Thirteen, a remarkable 23-year-old Gelding Paint horse, came to the HSVC as an owner surrender after his previous owner found themselves unable to afford his medical care. Upon arriving at the shelter, Thirteen quickly stole the hearts of the staff with his striking good looks and warm personality. He is not just smart and handsome; he is also incredibly versatile, capable of being ridden both with a saddle and bareback. This makes him an excellent choice for riders of all experiences, particularly for kids looking for a friendly and reliable companion in their equestrian activities.

Thirteen possesses a calm demeanor, which complements his adaptability. Regarding grooming, he is a champ in the washrack, displaying patience and a respectful attitude with his handlers. Moreover, he loads into a trailer smoothly, making travel a breeze. While he enjoys this active lifestyle, Thirteen will eventually need to get his shoes to keep him comfortable during rides and outings. Thirteen requires some ongoing maintenance and specific medical care because of his diagnosed navicular disease. To manage this condition effectively, he requires a tailored supplement called Equinox. He also needs some metabolic support to maintain his overall health and well-being. Despite facing these medical challenges, Thirteen’s spirit remains unbroken; he often trots joyfully around the pasture, showcasing his love for life and the freedom of running.

Meet Otis, a fluffy lovebug with a heart of gold. This gentle, handsome, 1.5-year-old soul is the easiest cat in the world to love. He's incredibly patient, endlessly talkative, and always up for a cuddle (or 10). Otis is the definition of a social butterfly: he gets along with other cats as long as they’re on his wavelength, respecting their boundaries and never resorting to hissing. In fact, Otis would rather share love than space, always choosing pets over food, toys, or even naps. He’s the chillest cat when it comes to grooming—brushes? Yes, please! Trimming his claws? A breeze. Even baths don’t phase him. When it comes to comfort, Otis is a pro at finding the perfect spot to nap, claiming any cozy corner as his own personal haven.

While Otis is the embodiment of sweetness, he’s also a big softie when it comes to affection. If he’s left alone too long, you’ll hear his little meows to let you know it’s snuggle time. His favorite toy is a wooden catnip ball that he can bat around with pure joy. Kind, silly, and a bit of a lap magnet, Otis is the kind of cat who will steal your heart without even trying. The world’s most loving companion, he’s proof that there’s no such thing as too much affection.

With a love for outdoor adventures, Venti is the perfect companion for someone who enjoys staying active—she's always up for a run or a hike! True to her name, Venti's energetic, bouncy, fun-loving personality makes her a joy to be around, and she thrives on playtime with toys, making her a great fit for a household that can provide plenty of stimulation.
