A heartfelt service project was completed by Mrs. Rose’s 3rd Grade class at their school’s Halloween Party. It is no secret that the 3rd graders wish nothing more than for the animals at HSHV to find loving homes. They have kindly donated hand decorated bandanas for the dogs of HSHV while they wait for their forever homes! The staff and dogs of HSHV are so grateful for your love, compassion and support of all animals! Thank you, 3rd graders of Hawkins Elementary!

Everyone thought we were crazy for getting a puppy when I had a baby, but I wanted them to grow up together. We were told Petey (formally Chucky) was mouthy and loved to nip at hands.

Recently a news story about an abandoned puppy in Michigan “went viral” because of a sad note attached to that pup.

They were quite active, and we bought a baby gate to keep them from running rampant through our house. They were Suzy, Jade, Kyra and Abra. After a couple

Callie and he play relentlessly all day, and Duke even gets to go to work with me sometimes to get some socialization! He’s doing great! Shadow now Duke
