DO YOU WANT A COPY OF THE HOWS PROJECT BOOK FOR 2022-2023? If so, please comment here **no later than this Friday night** (Sept. 29). We have a Shutterfly coupon that reduces the cost per book to $97.14, including taxes and shipping (rather than $361.54!), but it's only valid for a few days! If multiple books are ordered, the cost might go down slightly, thanks to shared shipping. Please be able to pick up in Charlottesville (if not, some additional shipping costs could apply).

An Update on Our Beautiful Blue💙💙💙🐾

He is doing so well as an inside dog, thanks to the love and direction of his HOWS foster, Madeline Bruggeman ❤️🏡

Here are a few notes from Madeline’s Book of Blue… 📖 🐾

Blue's favorite things:
-squeaking a squeaky toy until he breaks the squeaker
-a long dramatic stretch when he first wakes up in the morning
-stretching out on a cool floor
-a few spoonfuls of canned food in a Kong
-putting his front feet on your shoulders and licking your face
-curling up on the couch with a toy, dropping the toy off the edge, chasing it, and jumping back on the couch
-sniffing around on walks
-very gently relocating your socks

Blue is less excited about:
- his toys mysteriously being chewed into pieces
- personal space
- broken air conditioners
- apple slices (not worth eating)
- baths (but he'll tolerate them nicely when necessary)
- skipping meals

If this handsome, healthy, two year old neutered blue heeler mix sounds like a good fit for you and your family, please let us know. We’d love to schedule a meet and greet. 🙏💟😇

🐾 Today was no ordinary day for Team HOWS 09/16/23‼️
Thanks to Gaby Ford, Mariah Steele, Bill Moore, Melanie Kelley Moreland, and Stacey Norris, HOWS improve the lives of 2️⃣4️⃣ dogs! 💪💪💪💪💪🐕😯🙌🙌🙌🙌

Boss, Bonnie, Yellow, Shiloh, and Smokey received HOWSes. They, along with Chevy, Star, Dixie, Belle, Pig, Candy, Daisy, Sugar, Salt, Ned, Bo, Joy, Jack, Joe, Blaze, Gunner, Spot, Girl , and Bo got lots of well received supplies 💟
We applied K9 Advantix II to everyone, stuffed dog houses with pine bedding, trimmed nails, gave lots of hugs and pets, provided dog food, provided dewormer for Shiloh and Spot, left straw bedding (for when the weather starts to turn), and took good notes for our next visit when we will bring more HOWSes. We’ve already provided a total of 11 and are looking to have everyone in HOWSes within the next couple months! 🙏🐕
Biggest news of the day: Bo’s person made the decision to allow his senior boy to live out his last year or so as an inside dog. ❤️ (check out the post just before this one for a video of Bo’s freedom walk) 😊

Special thanks to Walton Middle School, the Journey School, and Andrew Dracopoli for building the five houses we delivered today; & to Nancy Burr and Brad Suter for loading them onto our HOWS vehicles in preparation for today! 🔨🪚💪🛻🚐

We are blessed with a very big “village” of community assistance!
Thanks to all involved for making today so successful ! ☮️💟🐕

Thank you all!!

Wow!!! You guys had a hard day. I miss it so much! Maybe sometime in January I can volunteer!!!

Thank you HOWS❤. All these hounds have me in tears - very thankful for your help

Thank you for helping because I really dislike seeing all these beautiful hounds on these short tethers chained to trees

You guys are super stars

God bless the amazing work you do. Those animals are sleeping a little better tonight even if they live on chains outside🙏
