'Ello all you wizards, witches, and muggles alike, my name is Hagrid. Hogwarts was getting old so now I'm in search of a new hut to hang out in. Don't let my size fool you, I like to consider myself a gentle giant, especially with my favorite people. If you know me, you know that I am a Gryffindor so I've got some of the best personality traits there is (Gryffindor is obviously the best house, don't you know). Between my bravery, determination, and loyalty, I'm fit to be your best pal. I find that the most powerful magic can be found in one's heart, so let me tell you a bit about myself to show you just how magical I really am: I've got more brains in my head than a single Ravenclaw student, so you can teach me anything and I'll be sure to master it in no time (especially for the right price). I already know sit, down, and paw so I think I have a good foundation to learn some more neat skills. I think treats are 10x better than any mug of butterbeer, so if you have some spare, I'm sure we'll be the best of friends. My other favorite things in life? Well, playing with toys is certainly a fun pastime for me, especially if we get to play my favorite game - tug! Trust me when I say watching me play is more entertaining than a match of Quidditch (though the way I can catch my toys, I think I'd make a great Seeker). I think I might prefer a home without young kids, but I would consider letting a fellow canine into my Order of the Phoenix as long as our spells don't clash. Have I put a spell on you? If you think I'm just as magical as my shelter friends think I am, grab your Nimbus 2000 and fly on over to the shelter to seek out this golden boy and here me say, "Yer me owner, human."

Fancy seeing you here! The name's Hadleigh, and I'm just a girl lost in this big ol' scary world. I'm a bit of a timid lady and will need a family that will go at my pace and give me time (and treats!) to warm up. Due to my nerves, I'm going to need a home with older kids, but I promise once you'll see my playful, spunky side, you'll see I'm just a kid myself who is all you're going to need! I'm a goofy girl once I show my true colors, and I would love a fellow canine to play with! We'd just have to meet first to make sure we vibe. I'm also super smart, and for a snack, I'll show you how good my "sit" is! Training classes would also be a fun bonding adventure, if you're up for it. So if you think you've got room in your heart and your home for a diamond in the ruff, then come to the shelter to meet me today!

This week, I have the privilege of sharing a story that has profoundly touched my heart and, I believe, will touch yours as well. It’s the tale of Mabel, a 30-year-old molly mule who was rescued from the slaughter pipeline by Unbridled. Mabel’s journey from neglect to nurture is a powerful testament to the spirit residing in the heart of all equines — and a stark reminder of our responsibility towards these precious souls who serve us in whatever capacity we ask.
