Update: she’s home

Please help bring my girl home. She has been missing yesterday since 6am. We searched for her all day and night. I believe she may be lost and scared in the woods behind my apartment but I was chased out of them by a man with a gun yesterday evening. We all miss her so much and are worried sick about her. She went missing from Jerry Junction Apartments behind Walmart in Auburn.

✨ Salem’s Incredible Journey Home – 8 Years Later! 🖤🐾

Sometimes, the most amazing stories walk right through our shelter doors—and Salem’s tale is one for the books. 📖✨

This handsome boy was found living outside for weeks before a kind person brought him to us. During his intake exam, we discovered some clues about his past: Salem was neutered, declawed, and microchipped. Clearly, he was once a cherished companion. 💔

We traced his chip and found it was registered all the way back in 2016 through Bloomington Animal Care and Control—over 3 hours away! 📍 The contact numbers on file were outdated, but luckily, his original owner had listed her mom’s number as an alternate. 🙌

After a few calls, we uncovered the bittersweet truth: Salem had been responsibly rehomed years ago when his owner faced a housing crisis. But just months later, she was told he had passed away. 😢

Fast forward 8 years, and here he was—very much alive and ready to go home. His original owner, now settled and caring for two other cats, partnered with her mom to make the drive to reunite with her long-lost boy. 🥹❤️

Salem’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of microchipping your pets, keeping those chips updated, and adding alternate contacts when possible. 📲🔑

Because of that tiny chip, Salem found his way home.

🐾 Welcome home, Salem. Your adventure ends where it began—in the arms of someone who loves you. 🏡✨

👉 Need to microchip your pet? We offer microchip implantation and lifetime registration for just $25! 💵🐾 Don’t wait—this tiny step can make all the difference.

Lottie is available for adoption. This is what her Foster had to say about her.
6 year old Lottie is still searching for her forever home. She is a smaller girl at 50 pounds & is a certified snuggle bug and couch hippo. An A+ snuggler!! Lottie likes to put herself under the covers herself which is super cute to watch! & She can not get close enough to her people! She loves kids, other dogs, and cats. She is crate trained, potty trained, doesn't like to share her toys and needs to be fed separately. If Lottie sounds like the companion for you, please fill out an application at dekalbhumanesociety.org

We love her and she is such a breeze to have in your home. I already told her if we needed 20 dogs, she'd probably be one of them 🙃
