Meet Tank, a lovable senior dog currently up for adoption at KVHS! Tank had a fantastic afternoon with our friends at Longfellow's Greenhouses, where he enjoyed endless belly rubs, received plenty of treats, and some kind-hearted folks even bought toys just for him!

This eight-year-old pooch has a real talent for giving cuddles and kisses. He loves belly rubs, going for car rides, and spending quality time with his people. Tank has also lived with other dogs before, so we believe he will adapt well to various home environments. If you're interested in adopting this affectionate senior pup, we invite you to visit us during adoption hours with your household, including any other dogs.

P.S. Longfellow's will be collecting donations for KVHS throughout the weekend! They even have a pawsome raffle where you can enter to win some pretty cool items, all while supporting shelter animals. Be sure to stop by and do your shopping there this weekend!

Adopt a shelter dog!

When Squidward's new owners first visited KVHS to meet some adoptable dogs, they had specific traits in mind. They were looking for a dog who liked water and car rides, and didn't mind being the only pet. Fortunately, Squidward fit the bill - he enjoys car rides, loves being the only pet, and is warming up to the idea of water activities, though kayaking is clearly not his thing. Squidward spent 113 days at KVHS before finding his forever home. His new owners took a chance on a dog who had been there for a while, and now they have a best friend who brings laughter and love into their lives. Many dogs at KVHS have been waiting for months to find the right families. Please consider opening your heart and home to a new dog, then visit us to meet your perfect match. We hope to see you soon! pethavenlane.org/

Almost every cat kennel on our adoption floor is occupied by a cat searching for a family. So, we've made some funny little stories to help them find homes. Come adopt a cat this weekend or else we’ll be forced to fill your newsfeed with more silly stories. 🫵

Happy Tails 7/17/24

Happy Tails is back!!! Get ready for an exciting new episode from Kennebec Valley Humane Society's brand-new home: The Nancy Shuman Animal Shelter. Please tune in to discover the ins and outs of our fantastic new space and meet some irresistibly adorable furry companions!

We are excited to share an amazing video highlighting our new friendship and partnership with Casella Waste Systems. This collaboration is so exciting and we are incredibly grateful to Casella for their support! Thank you, Casella, for partnering with us to provide healing, hope and second chances.🐾

Remember Retro, the shy kitty we told you about earlier this month? Look at him now! Although he's still on the more reserved side, he has come a long way out of his shell, and we're thrilled to get to know the real him. We believe Retro would do well in a quieter home where he can continue to receive mellow socialization. Due to his timid nature, he would be best suited for a household with older humans. He should be fine with other pets, as long as they are calm and respectful of his boundaries. For more information about Retro, please visit our website: pethavenlane.org/available-cats/

Our cats have settled in nicely in their new digs, especially the shy ones like Retro. 😻 When Retro first arrived at KVHS, he was very nervous, but he has been doing better after receiving lots of TLC. He is now accepting gentle petting and attention, and has made close friends with one of our pawsome staff members, Cheyenne. He even purrs a little now! Retro would do well in a quieter home where he can continue to receive gentle socialization. Due to his timid nature, he would be best suited for a home with older humans. We do think he'd be find with other pets as long as they are calm & respectful of his boundaries. Learn more about him on our website: pethavenlane.org/available-cats/ P.S. The mobile version of the website is currently being worked on. You'll be able to view our adoptable animals as from a computer!

Happy Tails

Our tails are wagging for the latest episode of Happy Tails! 🐾 Get ready to meet the most adorable furry friends, Allo, Ellie, Slogan, Seychelle, and Kenji. These cuties are guaranteed to melt your heart. We are also thrilled to welcome back Dave Benner, KVHS Board Vice President, who will share some incredible news about our recent auction and our upcoming relocation to our new home, the Nancy Shuman Animal Shelter.

Meet Aries, a lovable canine who has almost perfected his "heel" command and is a pro at the "sit" command. He's a quick learner and also knows "drop it" and "paw"! Despite being a smarty-paws, Aries is still waiting for a loving home to call his own. When he's not training, Aries loves to go on adventures, play fetch, and spend time with his humans. He would make a great companion for someone who doesn't have any other pets and is looking for a loyal furry friend. Don't hesitate to come and meet Aries, he's been so patiently waiting for his forever home. pethavenlane.org/available-dogs/

Since July 1st, we've taken in 114 juvenile felines. Some needing round-the-clock care, like this little guy in the video. Because of the influx of cats & kittens, we're running low on supplies once again. We're in need of kitten milk replacement, kitten food (dry and wet), baby wipes, heating discs, and cat litter. If you've been considering donating supplies, now is the perfect time! All donations are appreciated. You can drop off donations at KVHS or shop from our wish lists.❤️ Amazon wish list https://a.co/0CcUih5 Chewy wish list https://chewygivesback.prf.hn/click/camref:1101lFDDu/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fg%2Fkennebec-valley-humane-society_b86247502#wish-list

Chevy hopes you’ll come meet him today! He’s been waiting since November to find his forever home - that’s way too long for a handsome, senior pup to wait. Whoever adopts Chevy should be prepared to share their favorite spot on the couch, and all of their yummy snacks. In return, Chevy will give endless love and cuddles. Learn more about Chevy on our website! pethavenlane.org/available-dogs/
