For A Limited Time!

By Franki Williams

BACK FOR A LIMITED TIME! We were recently chosen to be the fortunate recipients of a generous grant for our Chihuahua spay and neuter program! While the HSVC was awarded the grant, it is our entire community that will benefit. Animal overpopulation is not a myth but a very real fact that impacts the lives of tens of thousands of animals each year right here in our own county. Visit any shelter and you will find them filled with animals with no home to call their own and not enough people visiting their local shelters to adopt.
