Helping People Help Pets!
It’s pets and their humans that make difference! Our stats demonstrate how our community supports our mission. When you consider that the HSDC is not supported at the county, state or federal government level, it takes a lot of love and dedication from donors to support daily operations. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.

🐾 Why Spay & Neuter? 🐾
Spaying and neutering your pets is one of the most important things you can do for their health—and for the wellbeing of pets in our community.
These routine procedures can help prevent unwanted litters, reduce the risk of certain health conditions, and help pets live healthier, longer lives.
And when fewer unwanted litters are born, fewer animals end up in shelters waiting for homes.

🐹💕 Meet Honey!
Honey is a sweet, fairly friendly guinea pig who is hoping to find a family of her own! She’s a little treat-obsessed (in the most adorable way) and will absolutely let you know when she hears that treat bag opening.
She also loves her veggies, of course, and did wonderfully with her sisters. Now that her sisters have all been adopted, we think Honey may be feeling a little lonely. 💔
With more guinea pigs arriving at the shelter this week, we’d really love to see Honey find her forever home soon! If you’ve been thinking about adding a guinea pig to your family, Honey would love to meet you. 🥰
Come meet Honey during our open hours and see if she’s your perfect little companion!

🐾Meet Ziggy! 🐾
Ziggy is a 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with energy for days, a playful personality, and a heart for his fellow dogs. At 43 pounds, this happy boy is always ready to play, explore, and make new friends!
Because Ziggy is so social with a variety of dogs, our staff often calls on him to be a “helper dog.” He helps us test other dogs and gives them a chance to practice positive interactions with a confident, playful friend. His happy-go-lucky personality can help other dogs come out of their shells and feel a little more comfortable.
Now, this special boy is hoping someone will give him the chance to build his confidence, burn off some of that puppy energy, and be part of a family of his own.
Ziggy is already neutered and ready to meet you! His adoption fee is $200.
Come meet Ziggy and see why our staff think this goofy guy is pretty special. 💙
