Ava was adopted last Saturday by Greg, Suzette and their dog Bruin! They were looking for a long time - what seemed forever to them - to find a Samoyed friend for Bruin when they saw Ava on our website. It was a team effort to make this adoption happen since they live in Orange County! Willow, one of our adoption counselors, was able to coordinate the approval of this family through Samoyed Rescue of Southern California!

Congratulations to Jilly! Last week we had a celebration, complete with cake, for Jilly's big day! Jilly's adoption was finalized last week.  Doesn't she look cute all dressed up with her pink bows? Tom and Jane have been fostering her for almost a month and decided that it was a good match with their Doxie, Jack, who has warmed up to her nicely! Jilly came in as a stray, horribly matted, and it's hard to believe that this is the same dog!

We have great news!!!! Sweet Pea and Okey have been adopted together by Linda! Okey is 8 and Sweet Pea is 9. They were surrendered by their owner who was ill and couldn't take care of them. They have been here for seven months looking for the perfect home. These two were quite the stars at the shelter with their quirky personalities and strong bond they had between them. We were all so exited to see these two lively seniors get a home of their own! Thank you Linda!! 

Amanda...on the right....has been around here quite a bit lately volunteering and working on a college project. She's been helping getting the word out about all the amazing animals we have available through social media.  We (HSVC staff and volunteers) can't help but fall in love with the animals here at the Shelter and Amanda is no exception. Seems that Roscoe stole her heart.

Pal is a friendly palomino gelding who was seized by our Humane Officers last September because he was neglected and extremely underweight. It can take several months for horses to regain weight...it's a slow process that must be monitored closely by a veterinarian. He's been with us for six months and what a difference! He looks great and has a clean bill of health! Pal was adopted today by Vienna! What a fantastic new beginning for him!
