Alert to all of our cat owners. Throughout 2024, dozens of cats across the country were reported to have contracted avian influenza (H5N1). Though often associated with birds, this virus can be fatal in cats.

Please read the attached article to learn about signs, symptoms, and if your feline friend is at risk.

Since the U.S. outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) in dairy cattle began in March 2024, dozens of cats are known to have contracted the virus, including barn and feral cats, indoor cats, and big cats in zoos and in the wild (e.g., mountain lions, tigers, leopards, and bobcats).

For your generous contribution, we will hang a special ornament in honor of your pet in our lobby.

Honoring Our Heroic Military Canines This Veterans Day

Today, we salute our brave Veterans and their canine companions who serve alongside them, performing essential and heroic duties to protect our nation. Military working dogs (MWDs) are trained to carry out a variety of critical tasks such as explosive detection, patrolling, search and rescue, and even subduing adversaries. Found in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces—including the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard—these remarkable dogs are indispensable to our nation's defense.

Military dogs are more than just animals in uniform—they’re life-saving heroes. As we celebrate Veterans Day, let’s also remember the remarkable military dogs whose loyalty, courage, and sacrifice have made an indelible impact on our nation's history. These heroes deserve our deepest respect and gratitude.

Thank you to all military personnel, past and present, for your service and unwavering dedication to our freedom. 🐾🎖️

Here at HVH, we believe that all of our staff are amazing and talented individuals, in the office and out of it.

We now have the opportunity to support one of our own!

Kenyon is combining her love of running with her talent for crafting. She has entered to run the Disney World Marathon as a charity runner for the World Wildlife Fund! To help support her fundraising, you can now find a basket of her hand knit items in the HVH waiting room. 100% of every purchase will be going as a donation to help support Kenyon and her cause.

Hats, shawls, and other small accessories will be available. Products will change as she knits up more so be sure to check back often!
