Normally HAWS promotes a Pet of the Week. But, like most everyone else, we’ve become victims of March Madness! So, in the spirit of the season, we’re presenting…
...HAWS very own “Sweet Sixteen”
HAWS bracket is complete! We have some lively competition and a few genuine underdogs (get it? Under DOGS!), but overall it is a strong field.
Representing the Northwest Region are Dash the Westie, Alaster the Collie/Shepherd, Piggy the Pit Bull and Wilbur the Rottweiler (both pictured). We expect a strong showing from Dash, but don’t be surprised if Wilbur makes things interesting in this region.
From the Southwest we have Carter the Lab (pictured), Vince and Oliver the young Pit Bulls, and the Dynamic Duo of Cagney and Lacey – this Poodle and Shih Tzu combo are veterans and will make it hard for the boys to advance beyond the first round.
Out of the Northeast are Sonny the Terrier mix, Xena the Husky, Bella the Beagle and Wren the Lab. This region shows the most diversity within our bracket. It will be anybody’s horse race coming out of the Northeast!
Finally, rounding out the field from the Southeast are Josh the Terrier (pictured), Red the Lab/Terrier, Mocha the Lab and Captain, also a Lab. The early favorite is Mocha, with Red turning some heads and changing some minds…
Okay, no, we’re not having an actual tournament – and, honestly, there are no losers in this bracket! We are, however, using the fun this time of year to promote the overabundance of wonderful adoptable dogs currently living at HAWS. Come in to the shelter from March 26 through April 6 and receive a leash/collar set with each dog adoption, along with a doggy treat bag. All dog adopters will also have the chance to win fun prizes like ½ off their adoption fees, HAWS merchandise, dog toys, discounts on training classes and training books.
Now is a great time to bring home your best friend. I mean...TEAMMATE!
By the way - Don’t worry, cat fans! The felines will be taking over the building soon enough – you’ve heard of the World Series of Cats, right...?
