Staff Pick of the Month: Strawberry

Meet Strawberry!

Strawberry came to HSC from another organization and spent some time with an awesome foster mom while he underwent heartworm treatment. He is on the mend now and looking for his forever home.

Strawberry loves belly rubs, snuggling on the couch while watching the Great British Baking Show, and little kids and babies. He does great in public settings and never meets a stranger - especially if they offer to scratch that belly!

Come meet Strawberry at HSC today!
