Ares needs you! He's been looking for a forever home for over 100 days, and he's SUCH a good boy! Good with kiddos, most other dogs, and has shown gentle interest in kitties too - he's such a catch! Come meet him at HES!

FOSTERING SAVES LIVES! Milani is proof of what love, kindess, and proper care can do. At only 4-months-old she was found covered in mange, malnurished and fearful of humans. Fast forward to today, and she is happy, healthy and LOVED in a foster home! Her foster has also decided to adopt this sweet girl ❤ An Incredible Journey with the happiest of endings!

If you want to help animals like Milani, you can sign up to foster through HES , or donate to the HES Incredible Journey annual fund on our website at heschatt.org!

Get To Know Galadriel!
Our current longest canine resident, Galadriel, has been looking for her forever home for 1 year! A fun fact about her is that Galadriel LOVES to cuddle! In fact, if you start hugging someone in her presence, she will wiggle her way in between to get in on the snuggles!

Learn more about Galadriel and how you can adopt this sweet girl at heschatt.org/dogs!

This week, HES is in need of canned mixed veggies! We use this as part of our low-calorie enrichment recipes for our animals that are on diet restrictions. 🥕

We pass out in-kennel enrichment every day to our shelter dogs to give them a fun activity in their kennels - but not all our pups can have peanut butter or other high calorie treats every day! Veggies mixed into other low-cal options are perfect for our dogs that are working on shedding a few lbs. or have food sensitivities. 🫛

ANY brand of canned mixed veggies will be accepted, but for easy ordering, you can shop off our Most Needed Items Amazon Wishlist here: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1ETZZGNBQESYL?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_20

Donations can be shipped or dropped off to HES, located at:
4155 Randolph Cir.

Sunny 92.3 Wet Nose Wednesday
Pawnie 188020
Pawnie and her siblings had a rough start in life, but at HES they have started to learn how to be confident, playful, and brave. Pawnie in particular has blossomed, and her initial shyness has given way to her true outgoing, friendly, and loving personality. While she may still be a bit cautious with new people and skittish in unfamiliar situations, Pawnie will quickly show you that she loves attention and REALLY loves play time with other dogs. She would likely do best in a home with a canine companion or two (you might even consider adopting her along with her sister Nessie or brother Scoobs!). Pawnie is a curious girl who loves to explore, so an active lifestyle would be wonderful to help her thrive!

Grimm 188979
Grimm is a beautiful, sleek house panther with a little white spot on the front of her chest. While she is a little shy, she will great you with a wonderful purr motor once she feels comfortable! Grimm spent time in foster care with a 55-pound dog sister, as well as her kitty sibling, so we think she would do well in a home with a respectful dog and another cat. She loves to play like a crazy girl but will take naps with her brother and foster sister to recharge. Grimm's favorite toys are track balls, cardboard boxes and soft toys. Now back at the shelter, she is ready for her forever home!

Today is Black Cat Awareness Day! 🐈‍⬛
Black cats are among the least adopted animals in shelters due to many reasons - superstition, biases, and sometimes simply because they're harder to get good photos of for their bios.

These cats sit in shelters far longer than their more colorful counterparts, but they're no less deserving of forever homes! 🖤

Black cat adoption bans around Halloween are also part of an ongoing issue. The idea that these cats are used for abusive rituals or nefarious reasons is an unfounded myth - there hasn't been any data or documentation showing that these cats are maliciously targeted on and around Halloween. The fact is, black cats are overlooked, overpopulated, and under-adopted, so we as community need to be their voice and advocate on their behalf!

HES currently has 45 black (or mostly black) cats available for adoption right now. If you've been thinking about adoption, consider a black kitty to add to your family!
