We really like big dogs here at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center…so we’re debunking five myths about dogs over 40 pounds to give our big four-legged friends the credit they deserve. Myth #1 “Big dogs can’t live in small spaces, like apartments.” False! Dogs of all sizes can live in apartments under the right circumstances.

With pet sitting and bo ..read more

In March 2020, when the world shut down, our community members opened their hearts and homes to homeless animals. This included a surge both in foster and adoptive homes. During the pandemic, as people struggled with social isolation and being separated from friends and family, we saw so many people find joy, companionship, and even entertainment from sharing their homes with animals. Despite false news headlines suggesting pets adopted during the pandemic are being returned to shelters across the country in droves now that schools and offices are opening back up, we haven’t experienced an in ..read more
