As of 12/4 we had taken in 87 animals this year! (We’re up to 88 now….)

Congrats Jenna Marie Tolle on being the closest guess! Send us your address for your goodie bag!

(And yes… a large part of that number were hamsters! 😂)

Edit: they’re high now! 😂

Guesses so far are low! 😳 get your guesses in before midnight!!

We had a great end of year board meeting and dinner last night! Discussed a lot of what happened this year and what our goals for next year are!

Let’s play a game! For a HH&S goodie bag: as of 12/4/25 how many animals do you think we took in this year?

(Board members excluded 😂)

What do your donations today and every day do?

They help the owners of animals like a very fluffy friend who is in between permanent locations know that their best friend is ok.

They help the owner of multiple animals be able to get the help they need without having to worry about if their pets are being fed.

They help animals like Eleanor who have had a rough start find a forever home who adores her.

They help animals like Brandi find a soft space to get medical care and heal and then turn into who she’s really meant to be.

Every dollar you donate goes into the care of animals like those and so many more. We truly couldn’t do what we do without you.

This Giving Tuesday please consider donating to save lives.

Want to keep the love going? Donate to our Animal or Survivor Fund year round! Ways to donate in comments!

This Thanksgiving season I am overwhelmed by thankfulness.

From the Board of Directors who believed in this little idea so much almost 2 years ago to join beside me.

To the fosters who never fail to answer the call when I send out the soooo who wants ____.

To the friends and family who try to help keep me from losing my mind some days dealing with rescue stuff

To our donors who come alongside us to make this all possible.

And all of you following along, cheering on the animals who come to us and their families.

So thank you. Thank you for all you do. There’s no act or donation too small. Every single thing you do makes a difference.

💛

Meet Winifred! You’ve probably seen some pictures of Winifred the last few weeks but we wanted to wait until after her vet appointment to do introductions!

Winifred came to us in early October after being given to an individual who realized she needed more medical attention than she could provide as you might notice she’s got an…unusual shape. Winifred is deformed and pyramided and when she first came to us was VERY squishy. And tortoises shouldn’t be squishy.

The average 3 year old sulcuta tortoise weighs between 5-10 lbs and after a month with us (I forgot to do an intake weight 🥴) she weighed 3.68 lbs. Due to her physical state we suspect she did not have proper husbandry or diet for her first 3 years.

Winifred spent her first week here tucked tightly in her shell but (pardon the very intended pun) has really come out of her shell since then- even exploring the vets office (thanks All-Star Veterinary Clinic for always doting on the friends we bring you) and meeting new people at Kiln Creations this weekend.

While the long term plan for Winifred is currently undecided she is currently receiving lots of UVB, dark leafy greens, extra calcium and lots of love and backrubs.

To help Winifred and other animals who need care from HH&S please consider donating! (Don’t forget- for every $10 donated in November we are donating a pound of food to local food pantries)

Mental illness doesn't take a holiday break just because everyone else is feeling festive. If you're struggling to embrace the holiday spirit this year, you're not alone and you're not failing. Be kind to yourself and don't be afraid to reach out for support.

🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Did I take picture of the tortoises with their balloons?

Well….kinda.

They really enjoyed it under the paint selections tonight

If you’ve been to our events before you know Val the Russian Tortoise is normally exploring alongside you with a trusty balloon…. I ordered some online for our Kiln Creations events today and December 14th (tickets still available!) and probably should have checked measurements.

Val may be a rare flying tortoise today 🤦🏻‍♀️

We have some new furry friends joining our temporary foster care program this weekend and as such we have updated our amazon wish list! There are quite a few of them coming so they will be going to 3 different foster homes which has led to us already spending quite a bit to ensure safe enclosures, enrichment and diet in each home so any and all donations are appreciated!

Remember- for every $10 in donations made in the month of November we are donating a lb of food to local food pantries throughout Madison and Delaware County.
