✨ On Monday, January 20th, St. Hubert’s Community Programs Department was thrilled to join the Newark Museum’s Community Day: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Stronger Together!

Despite snowy weather, thousands of attendees filled the museum for an inspiring day of performances, family fun, and community connections.

This was our third year as a proud Community Partner. We gave away goodies like pet treats, cat toys, and crayons and coloring books for the kids.

We also shared information about our low-cost vaccine clinics, spay/neuter assistance, and other lifesaving programs.

The best part? Seeing familiar faces from past events we’ve done, and meeting people who stopped by to show us photos of their beloved St. Hubert’s pets 📷 - making the day even more special.

It was an unforgettable celebration of unity and compassion, and we can’t wait to do it again next year! ❤

✨ From terrified to thriving: Sprite’s transformation proves that love changes lives ✨

Diana was intrigued when her nephew arrived at the Memorial Day picnic with his new dog, Fanta. Curious about where he came from, Diana went to St. Hubert’s website and found a photo of Fanta with another dog - both looking scared and very matted. “What happened to the other one?” she asked. “Did he get adopted?”

When her nephew replied, “No,” Diana’s heart sank. She couldn’t bear the thought of the two dogs being separated so they returned to St. Hubert’s the next day to meet the “other dog”, Sprite.

Initially, Diana planned to foster Sprite. She had sworn after she lost her beloved Papillion, Chanel, that she wouldn’t adopt again, but it didn’t take long for her to fall in love.

Sprite’s early days were filled with challenges—he didn’t know how to walk on a leash or climb stairs, he was afraid of being bathed, and he was afraid of people. With patience and love, Sprite blossomed. “Now, he’s a thriving, confident dog,” Diana says proudly. “[He] isn’t afraid of people and loves to get groomed by his personal groomer who comes to the house.”

This past holiday, Sprite strutted with his new confidence on the runway for a Strut Your Mutt Christmas contest at the Jingle Bell Run to help raise money for the Arthritis Foundation.

“With a little love, anything is possible,” Diana said. “I’m so grateful to have saved a rescue!

If this post made you smile today, please spread the love and share it with a friend! ❤
