June Photo Dump !!! 🤩☀️🫶🏻

Enjoy these behind-the-scene photos from life at the shelter this past month. 📸 Adoptable animals, daily moments, a little bit of chaos, and a lot of heart.

This is what it looks like to care for animals every day - and we wouldn’t have it any other way🥰

Today we are sending a HUGE shoutout to the amazing 4H group that visited HAWS Schallock Center for Animals last month! 🐾 Not only did they bring handmade dog and cat toys for our furry friends, but they also raised over $1,500 through a pie & cookie auction - and donated it all to support our mission.

We are beyond grateful for their kindness, creativity, and generosity! Thank you for making a difference.💚
