🏠Six Adorable Kittens Looking for Their Forever Homes!🏠
These sweet little furballs were found on Labor Day, barely 3 weeks old, in the middle of the road 🚗They ran to hide in a woodpile and thankfully were rescued from there. Thanks to the kindness of some amazing community members, they were rescued and have been growing up in a loving environment ever since 💕
Now, they're ready for new homes! These 6 kittens are healthy, litter-trained, and well-socialized with people and other pets. They’re also in the process of being spayed and neutered ✂️
If you're looking for a playful, loving companion to join your family, one (or more!) of these kittens could be the perfect fit 🧩They’ve been raised in a safe and caring environment and are excited to find their forever homes.
If you’re interested in adopting or want more details, please send a message to: Renee S. Allen (260)582-9033

Dear Santa,

My name is Athena, and I’m writing to ask for something special this Christmas—a forever home. I’m currently staying at DeKalb Humane Society, and while the people here are kind and caring, I dream of having a family to call my own.

I’m a good girl who just wants to love and be loved. I imagine snuggling up by a warm fire, going for walks, and having someone to share all of life’s little adventures with. I promise to be loyal, playful, and give endless tail wags in return.

Santa, I know your list must be long, but if you could help me find a home, I’d be the happiest dog in the world. Please keep me in your thoughts, and maybe send someone special my way.

With love and hope,
Athena

P.S. I’ll leave extra cookies out for you and carrots for the reindeer!

Good morning. I work in Auburn, Indiana and unfortunately, there is what appears to be a black and white cat that was hit on 7th street a little ways east of the intersection of Union and 7th. 😔 I did not see it up close, but I assume the cat has passed. I wanted to share in case anyone reports a missing cat.

Update found and back home safe
My parents live on the corner of County Road 61 and State Road 1 in Hamilton and have lost their chihuahua. His name is Miles.

Brindle Boy Bruno ♥️ Another dog awaiting a forever home🥺 Bruno is a sweet playful pup who just wants to play and be with his people. He is a 57lbs terrier mix full of character and charm. If you love a good ole brindle dog, Bruno is your guy 😉🐶

Beautiful boy Camo does not liking being in his kennel as long as he has been. He is a dog that loves his freedom and people. He also loves exploring the outdoors. He’d be a great outdoor companion to anyone who likes hiking, water, and long walks. Camo is a highly intelligent dog and can get into mischief especially since he is at that “teenage” stage in his doggy life, but with someone who can teach him right from wrong he can excel and become a well-trained dog. Please give this sweet good boy a chance. ♥️ Thanks to a kind donor, all adoption fees have been reduced to $150.00!

Athena’s Christmas wish is a nice warm home for Christmas. Can you give that to her? ♥️ Hi, I’m Athena, a terrier mix with a bit of a rough start, but I’m feeling much more confident these days! I’ve had my share of tough moments in the past, someone threw me out the car like I meant nothing to them, but I’m learning to trust and open up to new people. While I might be a little shy at first, especially around new faces, I’m a quick learner and I promise I’ve got plenty of love to give once I get to know you. I’m looking for someone who’s patient and kind, and who’s ready to help me continue growing. I might take a little time to warm up, but once I do, I’ll be your loyal, affectionate companion. I’m not perfect, but I’m a sweet, loving dog with so much to offer! Thanks to a kind donor, all adoption fees have been reduced to $150.00!

Our stray end is full!! We have plenty of dogs to choose from please visit our website at dekalbhumanesociety.org. If you’re interested in applying, please fill out an application at dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.

The twist

WOOF-Stock!!

Cyrus the energetic, but loving 3 year old shepherd mix ♥️ Cyrus is by far the sweetest dog ever. He gives you hugs and loves to be with his people. He is goofy and smiles at you all the time 🐶🐾 He did go on a trial, but he ended up being just a little too much for them to handle. Cyrus listens very well! He knows how to sit,shake and lay down. However, he could use a little work on the leash due to pulling. I am 4’9 and able to walk him pretty alright, but pulling definitely needs work. Cyrus is available to be seen at the shelter! If you think he is the perfect guy for you, please fill out an adoption application! www.dekalbhumanesociety.org

🎉🐱 Happy National Cat Day, y’all! 🐱🎉 To celebrate, we brought in a gourmet treat: freeze-dried minnows! Watch as our shelter cats get their first taste and see who rates it a 10/10 and who’s giving us the “you’ve got to be kitten me” look! 😂🐟 Is your cat a foodie or a picky eater? Let us know in the comments after you check out these reactions! 😹 #NationalCatDay #PurrsonalTaste #ShelterCatTasteTest

Jasmine is spayed, heartworm negative vaccinated and ready to find her forever Home. She is super sweet and gentle. Visit dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt for moreinformation.
