On Thursday evening, we held a spooktacular Halloween Adoption Event on the Convergence CiderWorks patio! The dogs, wearing costumes that matched their handlers, rocked the party while Maple, Cider, and Pumpkin, the playful kittens, stole the show with their endless energy and love of Halloween toys. A heartfelt thanks to all the folks at Ciderworks for making this event possible and to everyone who stopped by to say “Hi!” It was a memorable day–filled with laughter and joy that resulted in forever homes for Molly, Sprout, Chimichanga, and Lavender (same-day Pup Cup @ Scooters)!

On this chilly Halloween night we just had to share the super sweet update we received on Bertie (formerly Kasie) that includes her all dressed up with her family as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and at home with her dog sister Daphne wearing matching princess crowns. This beautiful girl was found as a stray but is now well-known and loved by the people in her town of Sumner. She’s become the Director of HosPAWtality at her parent’s brewery Ten Wasp Brewing Company and loves taking walks in front of the Legion for the occasional french fry treat. Her mom says “She’s an excellent dog and we’re so grateful she is part of our little family.” We can’t wait to see what the family costume theme is next year. THANK YOU FOR ADOPTING!!

HAPPY NATIONAL CAT DAY!! At HSNEI we currently have 32 cats in our care waiting to find their forever homes. From Chloe and Tippy who initially came to HSNEI as tiny kittens and needed to find a different home later in life to little Binx who was found all alone in a parking lot they’ve all come to us for different reasons. Some are snuggly lap cats, a few are very independent felines, and many are somewhere in between. Every one of them needs the same thing though - a home and family of their own. For more information on these and all of our other adoptable cats visit www.hsnei.org/adoptablecats.
