A little update for those of you who followed along with HAR pups Romeo, Hacky Sack, Cashew, and Hank over the past few weeks!

Sometimes, despite everyone’s best intentions, an adoption doesn’t work out. Recently, all four of these sweet pups made their way back into our rescue’s care, and we wanted to share an update with everyone who loved, cheered for, and followed their journeys. First, we want to say that it’s okay when things don’t work out. We know that life happens, circumstances change, and sometimes the reality of a match is different than what everyone envisioned. We would rather a dog come back to us than remain in a situation that isn’t the right fit. As we look ahead to their next chapters, we want to keep in mind just how much change a new home can bring. Even dogs who have spent time in loving foster homes can need time to adjust to new people, surroundings, and routines. Decompression looks different for every dog, and especially with older puppies and adult rescues, patience, consistency, and a little extra time can make all the difference. Our hope is to find the right matches for each of these pups and give them the opportunity to settle in, build trust, and discover what forever feels like. Their stories aren’t over, and we’re supporting them on every step of the way. They are all amazing dogs! Thank you for continuing to love and support Romeo, Hacky Sack, Cashew, and Hank! ❤️ 💌 P.S.
