My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband and I went to HSNT to find a puppy for our son, and almost as soon as we got there we came face to face with an actual angel! Little Molly was a perfect match for us. She was playful, yet gentle and our son was immediately obsessed with her! So, we adopted her on a Friday and were going to pick her up the following Monday after getting her fixed! We went to PetSmart and picked up everything she would need, a new kennel with an orthopedic mat, a shiny pink collar with a bow and matching leash, toys galore and everything. But due to a mix up in phone numbers or a case of bad handwriting we were unable to be reached. That Monday when I went to get her, I was pulled into a side room and told that Molly had contracted Parvo and had been euthanized. I was absolutely distraught. I ran to my truck to call my husband, tears rolling down my face and he barely understood me as I tried to explain the situation between sobs. What was I going to tell my son? A manger (who’s name I didn’t get because of my emotional state) came and tapped on my window and urged me to come back inside for a moment. Hesitant, I followed. He urged me to look at the puppies because they had got a new litter in. I took a look around and found Apollo, a tiny timid little puppy hiding in the corner of the kennel behind all his wild brothers and sisters. He pulled at my heartstrings before I even got him out to hold him. And boy was it love when I got that little puppy in my arms. The only problem, he cost a substantial amount more than Molly had and after a shopping spree at PetSmart I just couldn’t afford him. The same manager that I had talked to prior came back in, saw me with tears STILL flowing and told me I would be receiving Apollo for free. And cue more tears! Apollo is now a little over a year old and 127 pounds of pure love and personality. He’s not only a member of our family and beloved pet but he doubles as my husbands service dog, he’s a disabled veteran and has severe PTSD. Apollo always knows when he’s needed! He loves our son, protects our home and family and brings so much joy to all that meet him! He is truly a Godsend!
