🐾🎉 THANK YOU, HENDERSON – Part 3 🎉🐾

We couldn’t let this incredible day end without one more round of gratitude—and a few more adorable faces! 🐶💕

Here’s Part 3 of our adoption day photos from our Christmas in July Emergency Adoption Event. That’s 30 dogs adopted in a single day! 🎄🙌

We may not have snapped a pic of every happy tail (we were too busy matchmaking!), but every single adoption was a win—and we are SO grateful to everyone who made it happen.

From all of us at HSHC: thank you for showing up when we needed you most. ❤️

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support during our Christmas in July Emergency Adoption Event. Every share, visit, and adoption helped save lives—and we can’t thank you enough.

🎾 Meet Xander – From Rough Start to Fresh New Chapter 🖤🐾

Hi, I’m Xander, a 2-year-old Rottweiler with a heart as big as my paws. When I first arrived at the shelter, I was in pretty rough shape—skin and bones, covered in itchy flea bites, and clearly down on my luck. But thanks to lots of love, good food, and time to heal, I’m finally feeling like me again—and I’m ready to find my forever home. 🏡❤️

Despite everything I’ve been through, I’m still a sweet, loyal boy with so much love to give. And if you've got tennis balls? Ohhh, we’re going to be best friends. 🎾 Seriously, I could chase those things all day!

I’m strong, smart, and slowly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place when you have people who care. What I need now is a family who will give me the love and stability I’ve been missing, plus some playtime to keep my tail wagging.

Come meet me—Xander—and let’s turn my rescue story into a happily ever after. 💪🖤
