On days when our dogs are stuck inside, it’s important to provide physically and mentally enriching and engaging activities to help them burn energy and have fun! Some great options include: Working on training and basic cues. Games such as fetch, search and find, tug of war, and catch are just a few that can be played both inside and out. Dogs love activities that mimic part of the prey cycle. Try hiding an enrichment box with high value food or a long-lasting chew inside. The dog will use their nose to search for the enrichment (prey) and once they

On June 19th 2024 my boyfriend and I went to HSHV to “just look” at the dogs. While walking around petting and saying hi we ended up walking three different dogs. The last dog was Romeo and we both instantly fell in love. A few days later we brought him home and he was a happy, cuddly, and energetic guy. We chose the name Romeo because he’s such a lover boy. He loves his walks, playing with friends, chewing his bones, toys, and cardboard boxes, and snuggling. We are so incredibly happy we adopted him, and now have a new
