Meet Gravy, 2 years old While we can never get enough of him, we can’t figure out why Gravy is still with us at EHS. When he arrived from another full shelter, Gravy immediately showed us how unique he is (no, it's not just his name). From his looks to his friendly curiosity, Gravy has […]
In late fall 2023, an undersized young cat named Moira came into our care from a municipal shelter. She was at risk of being euthanized because of chronic diarrhea and vomiting. She was a year old, but weighed the same as a five or six month old kitten. We knew she needed vet care, and […]
EHS volunteers take time out of their busy schedules to help animals who greatly need it, and we want to take a moment to recognize and appreciate what they do every day to make the world a better place. One of our volunteers, Ken Luckhardt, recently received a prestigious recognition for doing just that in […]
Now that the cold weather is officially over and tick season is here, it’s time to take preventative measures for your pet—if you haven’t already.

Our girl Gigi has found a home! Back in February, we featured Gigi for Valentine’s Day so we could find her the love of her life. She was such a friendly and easy-going dog, and we were determined to find her a family. We’re happy to announce that last month, a wonderful couple adopted Gigi, […]
Things to consider when bringing your pet along during patio season Warm weather is around the corner, and that can mean only one thing. Patio season is almost upon us! We certainly can’t be the only ones who want to capitalize on time spent with our pets in good weather. When the patios open, so […]
Meet Gus, 13 years old Gus is a mature gentleman who has plenty of love left to give. He may be the strong, silent type at first but he quickly reveals his nature as a real cuddlebug, never passing up on an opportunity to snuggle with his family. On a regular day, you’ll catch him […]
Difficult days and bright sides At the end of February, we worked with Pet and Wildlife Rescue (PAW) in Chatham-Kent to take in some of their incoming pets in what turned out to be a bittersweet turn of events.
