Project Info

Keeping dogs healthy in a shelter environment can be difficult. Proper nutrition, balanced with emotional support and love keeps our shelter dogs comfortable and adoptable while they wait for us to find them a PERFECT, new loving home.

We have a cadre of wonderful volunteers and staff who work with our shelter dogs. The goal is increase a dog's adoptability by increasing their manners!!! The challenge is to make sure that the treats they use are nutritional, don't turn the dogs into fat little sausages and are tasty enough to entice them to learn.

Our shelter dogs go through about $60 PER WEEK of these treats. Each tube of treats costs about $11. For $780, HSSV can keep our shelter guests "treated" for an entire quarter!

Marie, Hana and Buster,
Thank you for the donation (big donation!) for our treat project. It just breaks my heart that more people don't know the effort that goes into making sure our shelter animals are as well behaved as possible before we find their new homes for them! Hopefully through our efforts on BringLight, we can raise awareness that we actually do training here!

Thank you SO much for leading with the first gift on this project!!!
Love,
Steph

Hi Stephanie,
Buster and Hana read your note (very talented dogs!!) and they ask I send in another donation to help out with their friends who are waiting for their forever homes at HSSV. Hana is hoping some of the dogs will join her & Buster, and show the world what great dogs we have at HSSV and what good manners they have when they go to their new homes!

I'm donating again, this time in memory of my good friend Melissa's dog Teddi, who passed away today after a very long and full life. I always called her "Poor Ted," which is funny because Teddi couldn't have had it any better.
