Ruth was adopted by Leroy and Liz Smith in March of 2023 after being rescued along with 7 of her littermates from a local household that didn’t have any heating. Almost a year later one of her sisters, Delilah, was returned to the shelter but when she went in to get spayed, it was discovered Delilah was pregnant. Some of you might remember the adorable Facebook videos posted by HSLC board member Shannon Lefebvre as she helped raise Delilah’s puppies, one of which was known as “Blue” at the time. Leroy and Liz later adopted Blue — Ruth’s niece, despite their very different appearances! — who is now named Pablo, is 6 months old, and is growing bigger every day. As with so many adopted shelter dogs, Ruthie and “Pablo Escobark” are mild-mannered, incredibly sweet, well-behaved, and absolutely inseparable BFFs!

From Dexter’s forever mom,
Just an update on Charlie (Aka Dexter) he is doing well. He and Lola love to wrestle and snuggle! He’s definitely following Lola’s lead and learning the “house rules” he is fitting in fantastic!



Clifford is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up. She’s an awesome member of our little pack.
Thank you all for taking care of this little one until I could adopt her.


Hi! We adopted Bruno in December and I wanted to send you an update – He’s now known as Bojangles (Bo for short) and he’s an awesome dog! He’s settled in great and already went on a trip to Albuquerque where everyone loved him (of course 🥰). He loves his toys and going for walks. He doesn’t love getting in the car but we’re working on that. We’re so glad we found him!

Olivia, or Livvie, got her furever home on May 9, and is having a wonderful time on a girls day out with her mom and auntie, shopping for new house plants! She loves car rides, and now she loves riding on the basket of the electric cars at the garden center! She had a pup cup and later a pup cone! Livvie is bonding beautifully with her new human, is gently protective, and happy as heck!! What a blessing for doggo and human both!!!
