🐾 IMPORTANT 🐾
This is not a post that either of us want to make, but it's one we can no longer avoid.
After over 20 years and hundreds of animals later, we have decided to close up HLHR for good.
We let the state and county licenses lapse this month, on purpose. We’ve either cancelled or are waiting on confirmation of cancellation of all our online donation platforms, as well as our Petfinder.com account.
We're sure this is not a surprise, but it’s still been sad. Those of you who have been consistent followers know that, while our spirits are still strong, our bodies are not. You know what both of us have endured and will continue to endure as a result of the effects of chronic illnesses.
Both of us have felt like we are mourning the loss of a loved one and a part of ourselves. It's a loss that's hard to explain but felt deep within us both.
After this post runs about a week, the page will deactivate and exist as an archive.
We surely had a good run and feel like we made a huge difference in animal welfare. And, we are so, so thankful for all of you who have supported us along the way.
~Misty and Brandy

In March 2016, a little nugget joined HLHR Husky House. Her name was Harper (later to be known as Doodles).

She was in desperate need of a medical rescue because it was suspected she had bi-lateral ectopic ureters (which was later confirmed by a veterinarian at Auburn).

That July, she was adopted by the McCullough family (who also have our Rhea and Stella). Charlie and Cheryl were relentless in their efforts to give Doodles the best life she could have, taking her to their vet and to specialists at UGA any time she needed, never hesitating to do whatever it took to keep Doodles as well as she could be.

Unfortunately, today, they had to say goodbye. Doodles' body just couldn't fight any longer. And, while everyone is heartbroken, Doodles had an AMAZING life with the McCullough's. And, while HLHR agreed initially to help her, they are the ones who truly saved her, and I know they, especially Charlie, (Doodles was a daddy's girl) will miss her most.

Please send soft Woo's to them this afternoon. As for Doodles, she's wearing her silver harness proudly and running like the wind, pain and illness free, just like all the snow noses who have gone before her.

Rest easy, precious girl. You were so loved.~Brandy

❣️DOG FOOD REQUEST❣️

While Misty and I have no new fosters right now, we both have four total long-term fosters who depend on your support.

We are both low on dog food. Please see the attached collages that include the dogs' pics and also a pic of the food we use.

Both kinds can be ordered from Chewy, and you can click on the link to get to our specific site.

For delivery, be sure you are including the correct access. You can PM either of us for addresses. We know them both. 😉

You can also send us Chewy gift cards for food or other supplies that we can order from Chewy.
(Or, you can also make a specific donation to PayPal--just mark it for "maintenance care for long-term fosters").

As always, we both appreciate your ongoing support.~Brandy
