🐾 Meet Our Latest Bubble Babies: Harlee Jean and Arthur! 🐾

Harlee Jean had a blast during bath time, loving every scratch and cuddle that came with it! She’s a total attention magnet and just can’t get enough love. πŸ’–

Arthur, on the other hand, was channeling his inner drama queen! He definitely let us know how he felt about trading his corn-chip aroma for some oatmeal freshness. But once he was dried off and out of the "metal torture chamber" (aka the bathtub), he was back to feeling like a brand new pup! πŸ˜‚βœ¨

Both dogs are ready for their forever homes! Harlee Jean, our longest resident, is fully sponsored, while Arthur is available for adoption for just $179. They’re both go-home ready and can’t wait to find their new families! 🏑❀️

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call during business hours. To apply to adopt, please visit our website here: www.hsset.org/adopt/

🐾🐱Fully Sponsored Special Needs Cats Looking for Loving Homes! 🐱🐾

We have five special kitties in our care who are ready to find their forever families! Each of these cats has feline herpes, which is not contagious to people but may be to other cats. We recommend they go to homes with other herpes-positive cats or to single-cat households. Feline herpes is typically only contagious to other cats during flare-ups and can be managed with medications during tough times.

Despite their condition, these cats live full and fun lives just like any other kitten. They will all be spayed or neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and their adoption fees are completely sponsored! You can take home Kenny, Mary, Lisa, Ginger, or Kasey for $0.

Interested in providing a loving home to one of these special kitties? Apply on our website at www.hsset.org/adopt/ or give us a call at 409-833-0504 if you have any questions.

Special needs animals are frequently overlooked or skipped over because folks may not be interested in additional care that may be necessary but these little kittens will live full lives and truly thrive. When they are in a dormant period, there will likely be no indication they're herpes positive. Help us find these wonderful cats the homes they deserve! Please share this post to spread the word.

🐾 Lost Cat Alert - Please Help Bring Her Home! 🐾

This beloved 5-month-old tabby cat has gone missing. She has a distinctive red and black nose and black paw pads. She's incredibly sweet and loves to knead us during cuddles. Although she's not used to being outside, she may be scared.

She is microchipped! Any vet's office, rescue or animal control facility should be able to check this for free. Your help and tips are greatly appreciated during this stressful time.

πŸ“… Lost Since: July 16th, around 6am
🏑 Last Seen: Shady Hollow Lane, Beaumont, Texas, 77706

If you have any information or have spotted her, please contact Thomas at 409-504-4927.

Please share this post to help us reunite with our beloved cat. Thank you all for your support!

Urgent: Abandoned Puppies Need Your Help
**SOME IMAGES IN THIS POST MAY BE UPSETTING**

This morning, we were heartbroken to discover six puppies abandoned at our shelter near the dumpster. It's a tragic reminder of the harsh reality faced by so many animals. Not everyone is an animal lover, we know, but no one should think it's okay to leave a living creature by a dumpster like garbage. These innocent pups were left in a crate in the rain at the back of our building, and the individuals responsible RAN back and fled in a Kia Soul. We've pleaded before for decency and kindness toward animals, yet incidents like this continue.

When the puppies were brought in, we immediately provided them with food, and they ate hungrily, indicating they may not have eaten recently. During our quick quality of life assessment, we discovered one puppy with a wounded hip, causing a limp. The extent of her injuries is still uncertain until we can have her seen by a vet. Additionally, two puppies have abdominal hernias. All of the puppies have parasite infested diarrhea. **Please note that photos below may be distressing to some.**

If anyone recognizes the individuals involved in abandoning these puppies, please inform them that other pets, guests, children, and themselves are at risk of intestinal parasites. Each of the puppies has long worms and multiple types of parasites that are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from pets to people. We have already initiated treatments to help these poor puppies, but we think these folks should also be aware it's best for them to seek professional assistance both medically and to address any flea infestations that may seek a new source for their meals now that the puppies are no longer at their home. Fleas can carry countless diseases that are harmful both to pets and people.

These puppies deserve love, care, and a chance at a better life. They will need some care before they're able to be adopted but if you are interested in donating towards their care or adopting, please visit our website www.hsset.org/

We asked our staff, "Who do you think does best on a leash or on walks? Why?"

🌟Please keep in mind, even when we take a dog "off-leash," they are within a fenced facility, and our staff members are aware of each dog's quirks, mannerisms, and preferences. Dogs should never be walked off-leash, especially in public areas, unless the owner has 100% confidence or is in an area that permits off-leash activity according to leash lawsπŸš«πŸ•. Dogs should also have had training to ensure they can focus and respond to their owner's commands efficiently. We have several fantastic trainers in our area, some of whom are listed on our resource page on our website.🌟

Surprisingly, the answer among staff was unanimous, but here are a couple of the most detailed responses:

"Hendrix. He just gets with the program and stays in his lane. I walk him off-leash frequently; he's great at keeping pace and stopping when I stop. Beck would be my second choice, but he's not as good at staying close off-leash, so I always walk him leashed."

"Hendrix for sure. I've taken him off-leash for walks a few times, and he does great. His main issue is with other dogs. He's calm when walking alongside another dog, but not when meeting them face-to-face."

Hendrix is fully sponsored ($0 adoption fee) and available for adoption. He is gentle with kids, cats, and hasn't tried to bounce off our pregnant staff member's belly even once (+100 good boy points). While he still needs work around other dogs, he has made significant progress since arriving in our care. He is also our top pick for the #1 best dog to walk at HSSET. He also has been very cooperative for all of the goofy photoshoots we've put him through in the past. Having been with us for over 100 days, it's time for Hendrix to find his forever home.🐾❀️

🐾 Pet of the Week: Meet Monty! 🐾

Say hello to Monty, our adorable Beagle mix! πŸ•βœ¨ This sweet 2-year-old boy is altered and ready for his forever home. Monty is super laid back and nonchalant, making him the perfect companion for a relaxed lifestyle. 😌❀️

Monty gets along well with both cats 🐱 and dogs 🐢, but he would thrive best in an adult-only home or a household with older kids. He's done exceptionally well with all of the dogs we've introduced him to! πŸ₯° His gentle nature makes him a wonderful addition to any family looking for a chill buddy, but like most dogs, he does have boundaries around how he prefers to be handled that we know some smaller kids may not understand.

Adoption Fee: $139 πŸ’΅
Vaccinations: Up to date βœ…
Microchipped: Yes 🏷️
Go Home Ready! 🏑

Come meet Monty and see if he’s the perfect fit for you! 🐾❀️

Carolina will go home altered(spayed), up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Don’t miss out on this lovable bundle of joy! 🐾❀️

🌹 Rocky's Story: Stop and Smell the Roses! 🌼

Rocky, our beloved boy who found a loving home with us years ago as a little puppy, has come back into our care after a brief stint with animal control. They reached out to us on the last day of his stray hold as he was then eligible for euthanasia and they were over capacity. Despite his journey, Rocky reminds us all to stop and take in the beauty of life every day! 🐾

This resilient and loving soul is now seeking a new forever home. You can find more information and photos of Rocky on our website. Let's help Rocky find the loving family he deserves once again! πŸ’•

Pet of the Week: Diego 🐾🐢

Meet Diego, our charming German Shepherd mix who has been patiently waiting for his forever home at HSSET for 111 days! Diego's loving nature and playful spirit have won over the hearts of everyone who meets him.

Diego is a versatile companion who gets along well with everyone - young volunteers, cats, and dogs of all sizes and genders. His favorite pastime? Splashing around in water! 🌊 He's a true water enthusiast and would be the life of any pool party. But beware, with Diego, you are never not in the splash zone!

This handsome fella is fully sponsored, which means his adoption fee is $0! He's already altered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped, so he's ready to join your family right away. Diego currently weighs about 50 lbs and at 1 year and 9 months old, he's done growing.

Diego originally came from Orange Animal Shelter months ago, and despite being a wonderful companion, he's spent too much time in a shelter. Let's change that and find Diego the loving family he deserves.

Could Diego be the perfect addition to your home? Visit HSSET today to meet him and discover why he's captured the hearts of our staff. Give Diego the chance to be part of your family and enjoy a lifetime of love and adventures together!

Contact HSSET at 409-833-0504 or visit www.hsset.org/adopt/ for more details about adopting Diego and other pets in need of homes.

Let's find Diego his forever family - share his story and help us make his dream come true! 🏑❀️

Thanks to Beryl, we’ll be closed today for the safety of our pets and staff. As much as we love playing in the water, puddle jumping in the rain might make us stinky so we’ll be waiting patiently for the next pool day.

🍫 Happy World Chocolate Day! Remember: Keep It Away from Pets! 🐾

Today, as we celebrate the deliciousness of chocolate, let's also remember its potential dangers to our furry friends, especially dogs and cats. Chocolate contains substances like theobromine and caffeine, which can be toxic to pets if ingested in sufficient quantities.

🚫 Why is Chocolate Dangerous for Pets?

Theobromine and caffeine can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, seizures, and even death in pets.
Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are more concentrated and therefore may be more dangerous than milk chocolate.
🐢🐱 Pet-Safe Alternatives:
While you enjoy your chocolate treats today, consider sharing these safe and tasty alternatives with your pets:

Carob: A dog-friendly alternative that resembles chocolate in flavor but is safe for dogs to consume.
Dog or Cat Treats: Purchase or bake treats specifically made for pets, ensuring they are free from harmful ingredients.
Fruits: Many pets enjoy small pieces of fruits like watermelon, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries as occasional treats in moderation.
Vegetables: Crunchy veggies such as carrots and cucumber slices can be refreshing and safe for pets to nibble on.
Remember, the best way to show your love for your pets on World Chocolate Day is by keeping all chocolate treats out of their reach. Let's keep them safe and happy! 🐾❀️

🌟 Introducing Our Adoptable Allstar: Willow! 🌟

Willow, a charming 3-year-old, arrived at our shelter with a litter of kittens, and while adorable kittens often find homes quickly, Willow deserves her chance in the spotlight too! With eyes that mesmerize and a sleek black coat, she's a shelter favorite known for her fun and loving personality.

Willow excels at helping under socialized cats come out of their shells and is always up for playtime with younger volunteers. She gets along well with cats, dogs, and people of all ages. She is one of our goofier cats.

🐾 Willow is spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find her forever family! As an Adoptable Allstar, for one week only, her adoption fee is sponsored – that's right, $0 in an effort to draw the spotlight onto this feline beauty and get this wonderful companion home! The sponsored adoption fee ends on July 14, 2024, after which it will revert to our standard adult cat rate.

Don't miss your chance to adopt Willow into your loving home. Fill out an adoption application for Willow today at www.hsset.org/adopt/ and give her the happy ending she deserves.

Let's make Willow's journey to her forever family as special as she is! Share her story and help us find her perfect match. 🐱❀️

Hurricane season is upon us and we're going to continue to hope we don't have to evacuate this year. We're planning to wait out the upcoming rainstorm indoors (thanks Beryl). Which means we are sharing our amazon wishlist with our community of animal lovers!

Here's why these items are on our wishlist:

Toys, treats, and nylabones: We all get cabin fever being stuck inside all day with bad weather but these toys and other enrichment can be used by our staff to help stimulate the animals in our care and make a stay inside feel more like a "stay-cation"

Kitten wet food (greatest need at the moment): We are still inundated with kittens who either are still a bit too young to handle crunchy cat food or are needing to gain weight to be able to be listed for adoption. This food stores well even during a storm and doesn't require refrigeration and can keep our bellies full no matter what.

Cat towers: All of our cat towers have come from donations and are heavily loved by our cats which can make their wear and tear happen much faster. Ours are rapidly being worn and will need to be disposed of when they become a safety hazard to our volunteers or animals. They're enrichment for our colony cats.

If you are able to donate through our amazon wishlist we would all very much so appreciate it! If you have any of these items at home that Fluffy and Fido may not mind passing on as hand-me-downs, we accept donations anytime during business hours! We also accept pet food that is not expired so if your dogs or cats of any ages had a wet food they didn't care for, we will also happily accept for our cuddly critters.

"How do you not adopt every animal?"

It's a question our staff gets asked daily. We can usually resist the urge, but every so often a special one catches your eye. That brings us to Trudy.

Trudy came in as a "troubled" transfer from a local animal control facility. She and some other Chihuahuas had ended up in Animal Control's care due to a less-than-ideal background/home life. Before being sent to us, these pups were given lots of love to help them open up and settle a bit, but Trudy especially was still having a difficult time, and we were cautioned beforehand.

She was scared and lashed out while we were trying to perform our intake appointment, but we understand car rides and new places can be stressful for pets, especially for those with Trudy's background and slight vision impairment.

Our clinic administrator gave her grace and handled her with extra care, despite her obvious distrust of him. He worked with her throughout the day and offered to take her home as a foster to help socialize and continue working with her. It seemed that upon their arrival home, Trudy came bursting out of her shell! She loved all the affection, TV time, and play she got and turned on the charm to the highest extent. Trudy won over Eddie and his wife Anna, and it didn't take long before Anna made it clear, "we've got to adopt this dog."

Trudy is settling in well to her new home and family. While we all have our "favorites" or pups we hope get adopted first, and usually some that we try to spend a portion of our lunch breaks with, it takes an extra special connection to go the extra mile and bring (another) fur-baby home. You can see Eddie's original HSSET pet, Mavis pictured with Trudy on their first night together πŸ₯Ή

Trudy's got her forever home with the Johnsons! Congratulations Anna, Eddie and TrudyπŸ₯°
