Part Two of Heartland Academy Visit

After we read our story, the children from the Heartland Academy talked a little about the animals at the HSSET, we took a tour of the facility. The children were so anxious to see all the animals we have it was difficult for them to wait for their turn to spend with our furry friends.







"Fascinated" seems like such a small word to describe their faces as they looked on at the different animals spread out around the shelter.

It was so much fun to watch how well they handled their time with our animals. They were all very gentle and caring with each of the animals with whom they spent their time.



After everyone had a little time with the animals, they finished off their time at the shelter eating sprinkled cupcakes just like the cat in our book. Needless to say. . . they enjoyed that time as well.

A Busy Day at HSSET

On Saturday we had an influx of wonderful visitors. Our friends from Trinity United Methodist Church visited us.

 The group spent some time learning about the history of the HSSET, learning how we care for our animals, how adoptions work and then volunteered spending time with our special animals friends.

 We love when our volunteers are able to come and spend time with our dogs and cats. Although we all try to spend time with animals, we are not able to give the individual attention our sweet animals need on a daily basis.

The church is also in the middle of an animal food drive which will culminate next weekend and we will once again have an opportunity to touched by this group once again when they gift that collection to the shelter.
