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.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🐕 That wagging tail doesn’t always mean “I’m friendly!”
Dogs wag their tails for lots of reasons—to show happiness, uncertainty, fear, excitement, or even to ask for space.
The key is to look at the whole dog, not just the tail. 🐾
Because sometimes, a wag is saying “Hi!”… and sometimes it’s saying “Please give me some space.”

🧀 From fluffy to fresh!
Just look at Macaroni’s transformation! When he first arrived at the shelter, he was covered in a thick, matted, dirty coat. After some much-needed grooming, Macaroni is looking (and hopefully feeling!) so much better. 🥰
A good grooming session can make a HUGE difference for animals who come into our care needing a little extra TLC. We’re so happy to see Macaroni’s handsome face again! Thank you, yet again, to our good friends at Hair of the Dog Pet Grooming and Boarding for taking such good care of Macaroni.
