Lisa and Her Therapy Human

People are looking for different kind of therapies, they pay lots of money to find help with their own issues. The simplest way is to help yourself is just go to your local animal shelter where you can be a therapy human for many beautiful and sweet dogs there.

Today I met for the first time and let me introduce to you Lisa.

HSSV's Lisa

I dont know how old is Lisa, what kind of dog she is, the most important thing was that she is the sweetest dog and scared of being in new place a lot. So I tried to be her therapy human today.

Kovu - The Bubble Sweetheart

Thursday evening is a great time to stop by at the Bubble and visit some dogs before they will go for a good night sleep.

Kovu is a wonderful Bubble dog that everybody in the Bubble love. His window is full of pictures, and love cards. He is a very special dog and needs somebody who will be a very special person to him.

In his adoption plan stands, that he is in the Bubble since June 14th. I think it is long enough, and it is time for Kovu to move on.

HSSV's Kovu - Bubble Sweetheart

He was little bit nervous meeting me, what he does with new people. It is maybe a reason, he is still in the Bubble. Kovu needs to find a home with people who will understand his needs, and space he need.

The best way to start working on relationship is taking a Bubble dog for a nice, long, relaxing evening walk.

HSSV's Kovu working on relationship

We walk, and stop, and sit, and sniff, and walk, and stop, and sit, and walk, and sniff...

Moby "I Don't Get It Why Is Taking So Long..."

HSSV's Moby

Moby is in the shelter more than four months so far. I don't get it why is taking so long. He is the sweetest creature you could imagine.

Check it out video made by wonderful HSSV's Volunteers. It is all love!



"Moby is the sweetest and most loveable guy in the shelter. A lot of people meet him and then change their minds because he has the possibility of seizures of unknown origin. I have two dogs with seizure disorders and I would not trade them for the word. One is on medication - inexpensive and easy to give and the other does well without medication. Share Moby's picture and story and help him find someone who will see past his medical concerns!!" by Beth Ward

Hi, I’m Tristan. Do you like to run? I love to run. Let’s do a 5K. It’ll be fantastic. How do you feel about hiking? I love to hike. We could hit the hills and crank out a couple of miles, maybe make hot dogs over the fire – I love hot dogs.

It’s time for me to find someone who can keep up with me. Let’s try agility or flyball or rally-o or all of it! It’s summer, we should be out doing things. Lots of things. I’m a JackRussell Terrier mix so even though I’m wearing a small dog suit, there’s a whole lots of energy and attitude here.

They were originally bred to hunt small vermin, terrier means go to ground.

Chunky Monkey as a Movie Star, Therapy Dog, Urban Dictionary Definition and... A Magically Delicious Ice Cream

HSSV's Chunky Monkey

I am special guy looking for my forever home! I like to sit in laps and be petted gently as I lean in. I'm very polite when walking on a leash and am looking for a family that likes to go on daily long walks, jogs, and/or hikes. I'm a bit reserved when I meet new people and I need a little time and patience before I warm up. I'm not a big fan of being left alone, so I really hope I can find someone who can be with me often or slowly help me become more comfortable with the idea. If you're looking for a constant companion, ask to meet me today!

Alex - Let a Three-legged Dog Be a Dog

HSSV's Alex “Some don’t ever notice their leg is missing,”

Whether a dog loses a leg due to trauma or disease, most often he or she will bounce back and learn to adjust. As Sheila Wells points out, dogs don’t have the same stigma that we would have about losing a limb. “Some don’t ever notice their leg is missing,” she says. “Usually a leg that has been taken off has been painful for a long time and the dog is already used to not using that leg. When they get it removed, their whole demeanor changes because they can run around without being in pain. There’s no reason a three-legged dog has to be disabled.”

HSSV's Alex "Let a 3 legged dog be a dog"

Let a 3 legged dog be a dog
When we share our life with a three legged dog, we naturally want to protect him from as many things as possible. It is important, though, to let a dog be a dog.

If a three legged dog is kept from doing all the things that dogs love to do, he will have lived an unfulfilled life.

“A life lived in fear is a life half lived” ~ [Spanish proverb]

HSSV's Alex "A dog is the only creature on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself."
