Our mission is to build and strengthen pet families. Our vision is to end animal suffering and ensure that pets live in a safe, caring environment. HSH experiences an overwhelming number of animals entering our facility. The increased intake and the reduction in adoptions is driven by the effects of inflation and rising costs on pet families, the lack of affordable pet-inclusive housing, and scarcity of veterinary resources. HSH is currently overburdened and over capacity for care. Healthy pets are at risk of dying, and the doors could close after 70 years of lifesaving. This would dangerously end decades of work saving the lives of healthy, adoptable pets.
