We have had some amazing moms lately 💙. We feel so lucky to be able to provide them with a safe place to raise their babies. It’s so amazing watching them all grow up! If you ever wonder where your donation goes look no further. Each of these moms and babies require special food and care and then once they are old enough we get them medically ready for adoption.

Bessie Spotlight: Day 3 🙌🏻
It has been quoted “Not every person knows how to love a dog, but every dog knows how to love a person.” Bessie is a great example of this beautiful quote! While being in the shelter for 3 long years, she has made so many besties and continues to make more every day. Here’s to memories made with some of her favorite humans! 😍 #shelterdog #adoptme #hslwr #trendinganimalshelters #longtermresident #loveforever
Bessie Spotlight: Day 2 🙌🏻
From walking the trails of different parks and preserves to stopping for a pup cup…or even relaxing at a special person’s house, this girl knows just how to go on an adventure! Bessie is an adventurer at heart and can’t wait to find her forever home where she can go on as many escapades as possible! Please think of this gorgeous girl and continue to spread the word so we can find her the home she deserves. 3 years in the shelter is too long for a pup this special 🐕🌳 #adoptme #hslwr #trending #longtermresident #shelterdog
