Compassionate Community

HSBC adoption, education, engagement, and health services are designed to impart a humane understanding of animal welfare and build a compassionate community of advocacy for their wellbeing. We are excited to help you learn more about our shelter work and the animals we care for in an environment that is supportive, engaging and inspiring. Let’s learn something wonderful and build a compassionate community together.
