Wow! Team HOWS 03/25/23 was on fire yesterday! 🔥😁🐾
With special appearances from Nancy Burr and Kathy Krevansky at stop #1, Darlene Hinton, Gaby Gabr, Mariah Steele, Melanie Kelley Moreland, and Stacey Norris helped 1️⃣6️⃣ dogs! 😮🙌
We assembled 2 XL HOWSes *on site*, with a third XL having to be hoisted over the top into its pen! 💪💪💪 Lucky recipients were Smokey, Cheyenne, and Chloe 🐕🐕🐕 Special thanks to their people who worked along side us the entire time to get everything taken care of. ❤️
We also delivered 2 large HOWSes to Betty and Boss. 🐕🐕
And they, plus China, Big Head, (another) Boss, Porkchop, King, Jack, Spot, Rain, Rock, Kate, and Jeff received straw bedding, no-tip water buckets, flea/tick preventative, nylon collars, slip leads, pine shavings, and dog food. 🐾💟☮️
Smokey got signed up for neuter. ✂️
And we are looking to soon get China and Betty in to the vet — China for her overly swollen mammary glands, and Betty for possible entropion. 🩺🙏
We ran a lil over on time, but we had almost no rain…. All in all a very productive (and dry but muddy) day 😇😄🐾❤️🚐🛻💪
Thank you to all involved!

🌞💧 A little over 4hrs left of $5 Fridays! 🌞💧
Can you believe this weather?? Its beautiful out....over 80 degrees today!
These days the weather dips are coming here and there lately and we all will need to bundle up a bit. But guess who doesn't get to stay as warm? Our sweet outdoor pups!
Did you see our post on straw bedding? It is a great reminder on the difference between straw, pine, hay, blankets, etc. So this month, we will continue to raise funds for straw to help keep our outside friends warm this winter season!
Straw is Like a Blanket! 🌾🐾
🙏❄️For outside animals this time of year, clean dry straw bedding can make a world of difference in keeping them warm! Straw is tubular, trapping body heat.🔥
Using a bunch of straw inside an enclosure is like giving the dog or cat a blanket. Pack it in there like a birds nest so that it goes thick and dense and fluffy across the bottom and up the sides. Let them burrow down into it. 🙌🙏🐾
Sidenote: Cedar shavings and pine shavings do *not* trap heat. They act more like a pillow. These products are great in the spring and summer when temperatures are warmer.☀️
Also, using actual blankets can be dangerous for the animal if the blanket gets wet and then freezes. Please don’t use cedar shavings, pine shavings, or blankets this time of year.❌🚫
Last thing: Hay is for feeding horses, not for use as bedding. It is flat and does not provide the warmth that straw provides! 😉
Straw bedding all the way!
Do you have $5 to spare this Friday? 🙏

These dogs’ people love them greatly, but are overwhelmed with other things, and realized the need to rehome them. This was an incredibly difficult decision for them at a time they are already dealing with difficulties. 😢
We are very grateful for their selflessness and promise that only good will come to Buzz, Dakota, and Toby going forward. 💟💟💟
There are three remaining shepherds on this property, and we hope to visit them soon to bring needed HOWSes and other supplies.👍
Special thanks to Brent for taking these 3️⃣ babes in! We know shepherds are his specialty! 😊
And thanks to HOWS gal, Stacey Norris, for working with this client to arrange today’s events.
Great teamwork! ☮️💟🐾

Thank you, ladies!! And thank you to the angel who took them in. They are such beautiful dogs!! Hopefully on their way to earning good homes each!
Couldn't love this more! Thank you to The HOWS Project and Brent Jacques for taking them in. Happy new life, three shepherds!
What a blessing!🐾🤎
Cheers for The HOWS Project and foster Brent Jacques! 🎉 Best wishes ❤️ for these 3 GSDs as they begin a new chapter.
Awesome! 🐾🐾🐾 Great new lives coming soon! Love this!! 🥰
Thanks to each of you. Great job! Best wishes to these dogs in their next adventure.
Only good times ahead for these three. They are beautiful!
Oh sweet babies
I was too late in getting my pics to the FB coordinator, but this one makes me too happy not to share! He's so proud of his new digs!
It was very hard for their people to let them go. If you've ever been in the tough position of having to break your own heart in order to do what is best for those you love, you understand. But these boys are absolutely in the best place possible to make the rest of their journey a happy one. Thank you to everyone who played a role in making this possible!
What a team!!!
Thank you for taking these beautiful dogs.
THANK YOU!! I've been involved in GSD rescue for about 15 years - this makes my heart so happy! <3
Great work!
Thank you
Madeleine, if there are more shepherds I'll foster one! I love the breed and have raised several myself.
The Angel Team! Thank you. And to Brent also part of this Angel Team! You are all amazing.
Amazing�� yorkies and poodles for adoption and rehoming�

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted. It is always our goal to befriend and partner with our clients to help them help their animals 🐾🤝
We’ve been at it for 1️⃣5️⃣ years - and have been so well received in our community! 💟
Here are some recent client responses to our assistance:
🐾 Tank and Chase’s person reached out for help with flea/tick preventative; the warmer weather this winter has not been great to keep the fleas and ticks at bay. After receiving some K9 Advantix II, she texted, “Thank you soooo much! You really don't know how much this helps!” ❤️
🐾 We recently added a household with 28 dogs into our HOWS family; we provided them a couple HOWSes (for Joe and Blaze), some dewormer and flea/tick preventative, and lots of straw bedding. And we will continue to work with them in the coming weeks/months on improvements. One of their people texted us the day after we visited to say, “Just wanted to thank y'all again for everything that you did for the dogs y'all are great!!!!!!!!!” ❤️
🐾 Cass and Riley’s person loved her girls so much but needed to rehome them. HOWS partnered with Caring For Creatures, and both pups were transported to CFC in December 2022. Cass was recently adopted. We reached out to Cass’ person to let her know about Cass and that Riley was doing well at CFC. She texted, “So thankful they are doing so well and that Cass has a forever home. I know they are safe and loved.” ❤️
Empathy, care, partnerships - it’s what makes HOWS work! ☮️💟🐶
We are grateful for all the volunteers, rescues, and businesses that come together for our clients and their 4-leggeds 💟💟💟
#howsproject
Thank u so much for the work u do. I’m in cat rescue. I understand the joys, the heartbreak, the frustration. It’s a thankless job. You guys have something amazing going on, it’s changing so many lives. ❤️
HOWS is super!
These are the moments that make it all worth it!
