🐾 WHEN THERE’S AN EMERGENCY, OUR COMMUNITY MAKES ROOM. 🐾
Yesterday, our dog team headed out to help another county facing a critical lack of kennel space due to an ongoing hoarding situation. We brought several dogs back to HSDC, giving them a safe place to land while the investigation continues.
This is an active investigation, so we are unable to share any details about the case at this time.
What we CAN talk about is how our community made this rescue possible. ❤️
Recent adoptions and our incredible foster families have opened up space at HSDC — space that allowed us to say YES when these animals needed somewhere to go.
This is exactly why fostering matters.
When you foster, you’re not just helping one animal. You’re helping make room for the next animal who needs a safe place to land.
If you’ve been thinking about fostering with HSDC, we encourage you to take the next step. Learn more about our foster program at .

Meet Maggie! 👑❤️
Maggie is a sweet 4.5-year-old little princess who came to HSDC through no fault of her own. Her previous owner moved into assisted living and could no longer care for her.
She’s a little anxious in the shelter, but she’s very sweet and would love a quiet home where she can settle in and feel comfortable. She’s been around children ages 6–12, has been left alone for up to 4 hours, and even sleeps on the bed! 🥰
We’re preparing to welcome dogs from a nearby hoarding case, so we need to make kennel space—and Maggie would love to find a foster or forever home!
Could you be Maggie’s soft place to land? 🏡💕
