“I was volunteering at the shelter last summer when I decided to adopt Hektor (left).  He was one of about 20 puppies that came up from down South.  Sophie(brindle) is his big sister, best friend and soul mate!  They do everything together, but Hektor's favorite thing is to snuggle!  They even sleep in the same crate together.  I'm so glad we have Hektor!”

“Emma, the black lab is a former shelter dog (CHS) who was dropped off in the middle of the night with a box full of new born pups. Emma was in the shelter for 5 months before she "found me". She is the sweetest pup. Pooh Bear, the little gray cat, was rescued from a country house where he was in bad shape due to flea infestation. Pooh and Emma became fast friends and adopted one another. They live with 3 other cats and another dog.

“This is Lilly, our cat, and our risk-taking, wild one, who drank from the birdbath and took on flocks of female turkeys!  She and her sister Lucy are CHS alums.  They and the late Lucky (Dec. 2006) loved sleeping in front of the stove on a chilly night.  They are all blessings to us. Thank you CHS.
