HSDC was proud to take part in the Delaware County Veterans Day Parade!
It was a wonderful opportunity to come together with our community and honor the brave men and women who have served our country. We are grateful for their service and sacrifice, and proud to be part of a community that shows its appreciation.
Thank you to everyone who made this year's parade special, and to all who have served.

There's a side of the puppy mill industry that many people never get to see.
Puppy mills prioritize profit over the well-being of the dogs they breed. Dogs are often kept in inhumane conditions, with little socialization or quality of life. And when a dog is no longer profitable — whether they can no longer produce puppies or have a condition that makes them harder to sell — they're often discarded.
Occasionally, HSDC takes in dogs who have been cast aside by these operations. Many arrive frightened, under-socialized, and unsure of the world around them. They need time, patience, and a safe place to learn what it means to be a loved family pet.
Cove is one of those dogs.
When she first arrived at our shelter, she was incredibly nervous. But after some time in a loving foster home, her personality is beginning to shine. Her foster family describes her as goofy, happy, snuggly, and an all-around sweetheart. She's enjoying walks, lounging in her dog bed, and soaking up affection.
Cove is proof of what a little time, patience, and love can do. Now, she's looking for a family to give her the forever home she deserves!
One thing we can all do to help end puppy mills? Be mindful of where we get our puppies. As long as there's a market for commercially bred puppies, there will be an industry working to meet that demand.

🎉 GIVING TUESDAY IS JUST 4 WEEKS AWAY!
Mark your calendars for December 1! ❤️🐾
Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing stories, programs, and the many ways your support makes a difference for animals and the people who love them. Consider this your first look at what we're working toward!
Did you know HSDC operates a Pet Food Pantry to help local families keep their beloved pets fed, healthy, and at home?
Through this program, we provide pet food assistance to Delaware County residents who need a little extra help caring for their four-legged family members. Because sometimes, helping an animal starts with helping the family who loves them.
Your Giving Tuesday gift helps make programs like this possible! Every contribution helps HSDC continue supporting animals both inside our shelter and throughout our community.
🐾 Stay tuned as we count down to Giving Tuesday and share more of the work YOU make possible!
