Eggbert-Albert came into HSHV on 12/13/18, sick and wounded. He had a long recovery and was tube fed as he would not eat. On 1/12/19 we met Eggbert-Albert, and fell in love with him. He even started eating when we were there, and on 1/13/19 he went to his Purrfect home! He is lovable, full of personality with a mystical face, loves the car, and asks for treats. Thank you for rescuing Eggbert-Albert AKA KITZ and giving him a chance to be loved.   Eggbert-Albert now Smoky “Kitz”

Just wanted to send you an update. This dog is a love. In the daytime, she sleeps beside me on the couch; at night, she curls up next to me in bed. She is totally housebroken, wags her tail all the time, and appears to be very happy here. My granddaughters got to meet her recently. She was perfect. Thank you again for helping me to adopt Molly. She had a bath yesterday and smells like lavender. I absolutely love her!

We adopted Rey on 4/8/2016. She was brought in on the PetSmart Rescue Waggin’ (now HSHV’s Love Train) and was placed for adoption on 1/6/2016. We are so very lucky to have her in our lives. She is the best with my sons ( 9 yrs & 3 yrs). She is honestly the best dog. She is super loving, cuddly and super smart. She has shown to be a huntress and has shown squirrels, rabbits and ground hogs that her yard in not a place for them to be. She is super sassy and has no problem telling you her

In 2010, my daughter wanted a cat to come home to while living away at school. We came to HSHV to check out all the cats/kittens. We had no one in mind. Pandora was the cat who came to the front of her cage, put her paws out for attention and purred her heart out! We brought her home; she spent 2 years with my daughter in her apartment and then several years living with us. She was a cuddler and always wanted to be where we were. Sadly, she passed this January, but the love she gave us while

My fiancé adopted Otis (our older dog) a couple years ago. Otis is the sweetest, cuddliest, laziest pit ever! After having such a great experience adopting Otis, we decided to adopt another, Dolly. Dolly brought out the pup in Otis. If they are apart, even for minute, they cry. I’m so happy they took so well to each other and have truly brought out the best in one another. They are best friends and inseparable.   Cora Junior and Doodles now Dolly and Otis

I lived with cats my whole life, and after moving to my own place and settling in, I knew I was missing something. I had visited HSHV several times before, but now I was ready to adopt! Then I saw her in October 2017. A beautiful three-year-old Lynx Point Siamese mix who had been surrendered and was recovering from a very difficult birth of seven kittens. Betty White was her given name but I call her Nina. Nina is the queen of the house. She is so affectionate but still a little sassy just when you think you know her.

Early Friday September 21, 2018 started as a normal day, and then I pulled up the Love Train pics that would be up for adoption that day.. Our boys instantly wanted an new pup and we had discussed getting another dog for our Lucy Goose to have a four-legged sibling. After racing to HSHV and pulling #10, we thought for sure we would not be bringing home the pup we thought was meant to be a a Sullivan. Fast Forward—sitting and waiting, we finally heard #10, and we walked into the room. Instantly, we fell in love with Luke. He

I didn’t have any particular plans to adopt, but I saw these adorable kittens with white socks on the HSHV website, and knew I had to go meet them! The rest—as they say—is history. Nelson and Hardy are almost a year old now and love to sprint after laser pointers and cuddle together on all the chairs in the house. They make coming home the best part of my day, and I’ll always be grateful to HSHV for bringing them to me!   Beagle and Dane, now Nelson and Hardy

Juice …this poor boy came to us May of 2017, literally cowering in the back of his cage. We fostered him and his twin brother and called them the ” cheesy poofs.”  My daughter was so attached, as was he to her, so we adopted. I was at peace with him never being ” my cat.. Surprise! This soft, sweet, introverted boy spends 21 hours a day in my room. He loves other animals but young men not so much. He makes muffins and is a gentle, undemanding presence. He encourages quiet and peace in the house (or he hides).
