WELCOME Duke 
Please join us in welcoming BIG 8 month old puppy named Duke! Duke found himself homeless through no fault of his own. Thank you Shelly for opening your home to HBRs giant pup. We know he needs some manners and hes definitely in the right place! Thank you Tanya, Shelly and our local shelter staff for helping Duke get safely to his foster home. Keep your eyes open for more updates as Duke settles in.
♡♡♡HAPPY TAILS: PORKCHOP!!♡♡♡Jennifer and family adopted PORKCHOP from HBR just over a year ago. As he celebrates his Gotcha Day, we checked in with the family to say hello and find out how Porkchop is doing!
They shared the following update: “Porkchop was brought in as a foster back in August of 2019 and met him halfway off the 401 for transport. He quickly fit in our family with two teenagers and a Frenchie and Bugg. He is so loving and docile and is an absolute Velcro dog who must be touching someone at all times. Needless to say we knew he had to stay and adopted him officially in a October. His favourite past time is sleeping! He snores so loudly but I find it’s music to my ears! He also just loves his hooman and fur sisters. His favourite toy is his green alligator and he brings that everywhere! We are all just totally in love with him and the feeling is certainly mutual. Except when he tries to sit on his fur sisters as he wants to be really close and snuggle. Our advice to give to new fosters is to love them, have patience and the return they give you is ten fold! Rescue dogs seem to have an appreciation to those who have rescued them!”
Thank you, Jennifer, for adopting Porkchop and giving him his best family! So happy for all of you!
