Weekly Wag from H.S.B.C.

Checkers is an active five-year-old English Spaniel mix who is ready to explore with you! A gentle giant at around 85 pounds, he has a sweet personality and a chill attitude. The staff isn’t sure how he feels about cats, but he’s polite with other dogs and really loves people—he hasn’t met a stranger yet. Checkers enjoys interesting walks and a good ear rub. If you need a walking pal, he would love to come along!

Looking for a young, untested soul to help become a good citizen? Deacon is ready for anything! At around a year old, this 50-pound black Lab mix is raring to go! Energetic, playful, and excited, this young man will need a lot of exercise and a patient leader to teach him the ropes.

Deacon is very food motivated and sits nicely. He also gets along well with others but might be a bit much for the senior set. Deacon would love to learn a job for you!

HSBC wants to thank everyone who continues to support the shelter and its residents with donations! They are still in need of a bottle brush and, two square laundry baskets. They are also hoping for Wholesome Sportmix chicken and rice dog and cat food and gallon-sized Odaban cleaner-all of which are available online at Amazon.com, Chewy.com and locally at the Pet Store. Another item in short supply is Panacur wormer. Also available online and at Walmart, one three-day supply is enough for one dog.

Don’t forget HSBC’s wish list on Amazon, where you can ship right to them! From your Amazon profile, go to your Accounts & Lists, and under Your Lists, click on Find a List or Registry. From there type in the shelter email, hsbc@centurytel.net and start shopping. Every little bit helps!
