Today we have an extra special shout out for a super awesome group of local neighborhood kids!!!

A few wonderful elementary schoolers decided to do a lemonade stand and the group was inspired by a customer to donate the funds to an animal-focused charitable organization. One of the 4th grade neighbors did some research and selected House with a Heart!

We are so incredibly touched and humbled that these ambitious kiddos selected to donate their earnings to HWAH. When we received the email about this lemonade stand we immediately felt that our younger generation is going to be alright. It's heartwarming to see that young people still continue to care about animals and their well-being. We hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful personal journey for these young folks towards becoming animal advocates, animal rescuers, and more!

Please drop a thank you in the comments for these lovely kids!

✨ Meet Reese: Sweet, Snuggly, and Young at Heart ✨

Don't let the number fool you—Reese may be 14 years old, but this little gentleman still has plenty of pep in his step! 💙

🐾 Gentle and affectionate
🐾 Gets along wonderfully with other dogs
🐾 Loves attention and quality cuddle time
🐾 Much more youthful than his age would suggest

Although Reese is mostly blind, he's incredibly adaptable. He quickly learned the layout of his foster home and confidently navigates the doggie door, deck steps, and yard all by himself. Smart boy! 🌟

Reese's favorite place is right by your side. Whether you're watching TV, reading a book, or just relaxing at home, he's happiest curled up next to his favorite person on the couch. 🛋️❤️

Because he loves companionship so much, Reese would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time—perhaps someone retired, working from home, or simply looking for a loyal little shadow to share their days with.

This sweet senior has so much love to give and is ready to find a family to call his own. Could that be you? 🐶💕
