Like people, pets are susceptible to frostbite and hypothermia and generally should be kept inside during cold weather. No pet should be left outside for long periods in below-freezing weather. 🐾🐾

Meet Benny, a giant puppy, just 11 months old.

Two things are certain with Benny, his mouth either holds his big blue ball or a giant smile.

He’s a bouncy, energetic boy who needs lots of regular exercise. A home without cats would be best for Benny and introduction of any dogs would happen before adoption.

If you think your active lifestyle would be even better with a hiking/running buddy fill out a dog adoption questionnaire on our website.

We love getting adoption updates, especially during the holiday season. To see pets settled in with their new families for Christmas truly warms our hearts.

You may remember Zeus (now Murphy) from a previous post. He hit the jackpot with his new home! Murphy has been on his best behavior and has fit in with his new canine siblings perfectly.
Regis (now Otis) adores his new Xmas sweater and is so grateful to be hanging out with his new family around the Christmas tree.

Happy Holidays from the staff and animals at Humane Services🎅

UPDATE: I've been adopted!!!🐾💜

PIC 1….The backdrop I was supposed to sit in front of in hopes of a Christmas Miracle and finding a home.

PIC 2….What I did while my pic was supposed to be taken, I sat in my friend’s lap and snuggled.

PIC 3…. Bundled up to go for a walk.

Hi my name is Jack. I am a middle-age gentleman. I am completely house trained and a very quiet, obedient boy. I love other doggies.
I know my commands, and all I want to do is sit in the lap of a human and cuddle. My friends say I am very low maintenance.

If you are looking for a loyal, mature boy with lots of love to give, fill out an application and come meet me. I dare you not to fall in love with my humungous, velvety ears.

❤️I have no behavioural issues
❤️I love everybody and every doggy I meet
❤️I’m a well rounded, quiet boy
❤️I know all my basic commands

UPDATE:
Fantastic news! Pattie Cakes has been adopted🙂

🐾Pattie's BEFORE and AFTER transformation🐾

Day 1
Pattie had shut down in terms of human interaction. No eye contact, crouching low and zero confidence.

Day 2
Pattie's interest in us slowly started to show. Although fearful, she looked to us for guidance and responded well to taking treats by hand.

Day 3
Pattie is interacting with us and looking to play. She is learning about what toys are and how to get human attention.

Day 4
Pattie is the perfect dog. Loving, playful and ready to find a new family. She is jumping around like a pup and acting as a happy dog should.

UPDATE:
Jenny and Rose have been adopted! Pepper is still waiting and we have found out that he gets along great with other cats. Stevie is still available too🙂

💜🐾 We have a color pattern trend
going on at the shelter 🐾💜

At the present time, we have a high number of brown tabby cats!
They came to us from different areas and for various reasons.
We'd love to see them go to loving homes🙂

Are there any brown tabby lovers out there? Do you have a brown tabby picture that you'd like to share?

🐾Please reach out if you're interested in

🐕🐕LARGE BREED ADOPTION ALERT🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

Anyone who owns a large dog knows they:

🐾 are big bundles of love

Jackson (Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix) and Beck (Boxer) are both looking for new homes🙂

Once again, thanks to all our followers for sharing his handsome pic🙂

Another senior cat looking to find his owner!

Poor Buffy (not real name) was found on Southside Road and may have been missing for quite some time. He is neutered, thin and appears to be an older, senior cat.
Buffy is extra friendly and loves to be cuddled.
He purrs and kneads on his fleece blankets as soon as someone talks to him.

Please share his picture so we can find Mr. Buff's owner😊🐾
