Take a Tour!

Quiet place to stop and destress for a moment.

East Pens as seen from the driveway entrance.

She was spayed and micro-chipped and on death row. When we notified the Plano, Texas owner that we took her out of the pound the gentleman said, "oh, I gave her to my sister in Hamilton. She's been real busy, uh, I guess she didn't have time to check on her whereabouts. I'll tell her you have her."

What?! (She's busy! What kind of rationalization is that?)

Sister, oh sister... that irresponsible, low-life sister--she never contacted us.

Lucky dog! Now she's available for adoption to a RESPONSIBLE, compassionate family.

Snowball is the perfect dog for companion AND watch/guard dog. Territorial and alpha he is protective but nonetheless a great dog with people...not too crazy about being friends with other dogs! Ladies--here's your next best friend to count on through thick and thin!

So sad. He and a companion were used exclusively for backyard breeding. Absolutely no socialization. He won't come to you, he won't respond to treats, he plays with the other dogs and appears quite happy to exclude people from his life. But his companion was adopted and has become a "pet" and we all feel this guy ought to have the same fate.

Splash time in the pond!

A friend of HFM crafted and gifted this for us

Jim, Wanda and Randy England donate hundreds of pounds of dog food to HFM monthly.

Huts for Mutts has the perfect back yard setting,

the dogs get to stay in large lots with green grass, swimming pools, and dog houses.

Mama dog is a Beagle/Bassett Hound (above)

Pups are numerous and seemingly one big blob of black and white. (below)

3 weeks old as of May 21, 2010

Mama is a medium sized, gentle-dispositioned dog...who was abandoned, taken in by an individual who allowed her to cohabitate with an intact male...guess what happened. She lost her "rescue" home when (surprise!) she became pregnant.

Puppies, puppies, puppies...in a community offered not only low cost spay/neuter but free spay/neuter for pets belonging to low income owners...what is it going to take? Better education and a curriculum that instills at an early age a sense of civic responsibility.
