On February 6, 2019, with the help of Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center 10 Havanese mixes were rescued from a hoarding cruelty case in Temple Terrace and placed in our care. The dogs arrived with matted and tangled fur with caked on feces and smelled strongly of urine. In need of help to get these pups cleaned up we reached out to our community on Facebook for grooming volunteers. We received an amazing response and are incredibly thankful for our community! View their transformations below.

*We will announce on our social media platforms when they are available for adoption. 

Grooming Volunteers: Emilie Desrochers from Petsville Citrus Park, Rebecca Lamunyan from Bow Wow Beautician, Melanie Denick from Diego’s Dog Grooming,  Ashley Bennett and Maggie Brenner
