A Special Message from James Lipton and Our Very Own TTelly Mr James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio on Bravo has graciously narrated an inspirational television message that is currently being aired in major markets throughout the United States.  The video illustrates what we do at HUA and why it is so important to help continue the fight against puppy mills.  Be the first to see the extended version here…   Read more about the project.   Puppy Mill Rescue! Peanut & The Gang – Safe, Happy & Loved This Christmas Sweet little Peanut, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, and his friends are our latest puppy mill rescues.  Last week several dogs arrived from puppy mills in Iowa and South Dakota.  On board were many Havanese, a Papillion and sweet little Peanut.  They are all so happy to be free.  They can’t believe their good fortune to have big yards to play in, soft blankets and beds, and yummy food.  Most of all they are so happy to be loved.  Within the first few hours of arrival little Peanut was showering us with kisses and snuggling into our arms.  Peanut was given up by the puppy mill because he has two very bad knees (luxating patellas).  He also has coccidia, a parasitic disease from the filthy puppy mill.  He is fast on the road to recovery and will be ready for his big knee operations right after the New Year begins.  Peanut and his friends wish to thank the supporters who made their freedom and the restoration of their health possible.  Thanks to you they will have a very Merry Christmas at HUA and have wonderful full lives of happiness and love to look forward to in the New Year.   A Christmas Tradition Volunteers will gather on Christmas Day to spread holiday cheer to the over 400 canine and felines residents atHearts United for Animals.  For weeks they have been planning, baking and making arrangements to spend their holiday with the animals at the shelter.  Each dog and cat will receive a special homemade treat baked with love in the kitchens of our amazing volunteers.  This tradition has been happening for many years. The volunteers tell us they cannot bear the thought of the animals going without an extra hug, a kiss, a treat and special thoughts on Christmas Day.  On a day when many shelters run with minimal staff and volunteers, the HUA dogs and cats will be having a PARTY!  Many thanks to the volunteers who make it their mission to warm the hearts and brighten the day of each and every animal in our care.
