Home Depot Training
HES long-time resident dogs took a field trip to Home Depot with some staff and volunteers to work on some training techniques! Each pup and handler focused on their individual needs, like obedience, confidence, and restraint. These pups will have a great foundation of training for whoever ends up adopting them!
We plan on taking trips to various places around town every month with different HES dogs for training outings and fun experiences. Stay tuned!

Puppy Rescue
WATCH: 29 puppies and 4 momma dogs were rescued by HES this week after we received a desperate call for help from a local Harrison family. With inclement weather on the horizon, HES rushed to their aid to get moms and babies out of the elements before the cold and snow moved through the area.
With pups hiding under trailers and in the woods, HES officers rounded up the huge canine family, careful to find every last wet nose and wagging tail tucked away on the property. Thankful to have all the babies AND the mothers so they could be spayed/neutered, we're hopeful this situation won't happen again for the property's residents, who were relieved to have a safe place for these dogs to go before eventually being adopted into their forever families.
If you would like to donate to HES's mission in saving the lives of animals like these, please visit heschatt.org/donation.
⚠️PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL IN THE COMMENTS! The purpose of this video is not to ridicule the property owners, who did the right thing in calling HES for help. They stated the females showed up on their property months ago and all gave birth around the same time, creating such a large-scale situation. The owners' elected to keep their male adult pit mix, likely the father of the pups, and have eagerly taken advice to get him neutered through Chattaneuter's low-cost clinic.
If you're looking for low-cost options to get your pets fixed and be part of the SOLUTION and not the problem of our nation's animal overpopulation crisis here are some local options:

Bumblebee
Happy Caturday! This is Bumblebee. She's a sweet little 7-month-old tortoiseshell kitten. While her mom and 6 other siblings have been adopted, it's surprising that this sweet girl is still waiting!
While she can be timid with new people and new environments, this little lady has a gentle heart and is ready to give you all her love. She also loves scritches and will make kitty biscuits the entire time she's being pet. Bumblebee would do best in a quiet home and may do well with other cats.
Come in to meet this sweet little girl and give her a home just in time for the holidays!

Project: Dog House
HES's Project: Dog House provides dog shelter to our community's most vulnarable. This needs-based program helps owners who want to keep their pets, but need help providing adequate shelter for them when outdoors. Whether a family has fallen on financial hardtimes, or they just needed a helping hand for whatever reason, HES is committed to assisting our community and keeping families and pets together.
Our animal protection officers are out in the field every day, checking in on families and their fur babies, and making sure that they are warm and cared for as temps are dropping by delivering straw-insulated dog houses to those in need. We are looking for more donations of dog houses (in new or gently used condition) for this community outreach program.
If you or someone you know needs assistance in making sure their pets are safe and warm when outside, email us at [email protected]
Providing a safe haven for homeless, abused, and neglected animals and advocating on their behalf.
