ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Sometimes, a little extra support can make all the difference. ❤️
Gordon Ramsey was having a difficult time adjusting to shelter life and was beginning to decline in the shelter. One of our staff members welcomed him into their home as a foster, giving him a chance to decompress and work on some important life skills. We were then fortunate to have Saul Bauer of All Pets Ohio work with Gordon, focusing on basic household manners, entryway training, and loose-leash walking.
We're so grateful to Saul for taking his time and helping set Gordon — and his future family — up for success!
And there's an extra perk for Gordon's future adopter:
Saul is offering 10% off his training services to the family who adopts Gordon!
Now, we're hoping to find Gordon the forever home he's been waiting for. ❤️

And be sure to give All Pets Ohio a follow and show Saul some love for helping one of our dogs! ...

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.
