We are NOT complaining!

Leon the Great Pyrenees, however, would like you to know that he has been preparing for this moment his entire life. While the rest of us are just now remembering what "pleasant weather" feels like, this big fluffy boy curled himself into a perfect little ball and claimed the morning like it was made just for him.

Honestly Leon, same. We're all just trying to be as cozy as you, buddy. Here's to cool mornings, happy pups, and May in Texas actually feeling like spring for once!

PS: We brought Leon into the office to warm up 😉

Pearls have been considered symbols of wisdom gained through experience across many cultures, from ancient China to Rome. They were also traditionally associated with loyalty, integrity, and calm strength. Unlike other precious stones that are mined and cut, a pearl arrives in the world whole and already luminous. No shaping required.

Recently, volunteers took our Pearl to visit residents at Arbor House, and the photos speak for themselves. There is something quietly extraordinary about this dog and the way she moves through the world, offering comfort and companionship with ease.

Pearl has been with HLCR since July 24th, 2025. That is over 8 months of waiting patiently for her family to find her. In that time, she has proven herself to be gentle with children, kind to other dogs, calm on a leash, easy in the car, and genuinely wonderful company. She does not ask for much. She just gives…

Remember Tulip, the senior huahua with huge mysterious growth on her belly? Well, we're happy to report it was just a massive hernia! The vet repaired it, spayed her, and now she's living her (almost) best life; and even though he told her to rest and take it easy, Tulip has become an unstoppable force of nature instead. Now she just needs to find the perfect adopter...

Even though she's around ten years old, Miss Tulip still has a lot of life left in her as you can see from the video. www.hlcr.org/adoptable-dogs/tulip
