Fletcher and Diva need your help!!
Sometimes the shelter can be a stressful environment for some animals. We try our absolute best to try to make every animal’s stay with us as comfortable as possible with as much love as we can give! Add having to undergo medical treatments or being blind to the mix and imagine how much nicer a quiet house with a soft couch would be!!
Fostering will also allow our facility to save more animals by freeing up a kennel so we can help another dog in need!
Fostering is FREE!! We provide all the supplies and medical care needed!
Don’t like the commitment that adopting a dog would require? Fostering is the perfect fit for you!

Be the Hero that Fletcher and Diva need!
Message us or call us to find out more or to be a foster!

Can’t foster? That’s ok, please share this post
You never know who might see it!

Looking ahead at the weather forecast and looks like we might get our first winter storm this weekend. Now is the time to make sure that your fur babies are safe and as warm as possible. Dogs and cats get cold the same as you and I do and deserve to not to have to worry about staying warm!

Dog's Day Out - Patches Explores

Meet Patches, our longest residing dog, having been at the shelter for over 6 years. She came to the shelter as a puppy that was not socialized with humans and was a very nervous dog. She spent her days glued to the back of her kennel, fearful anytime somebody came by her kennel door. The only world she has known is her kennel. Chuck and Julia started volunteering at the Humane Society a little over a year ago and started working with the staff to see what could be done to help Patches out. It has been a slow process, first earning her trust, getting her to leave her kennel, and finally getting her comfortable walking outside with me and around other people. Over the last summer she has learned to trust people and has been walked by several other people. She is able to go through the front office when 1 or 2 people are around but is still very leery of them and has gotten over her fear of cars. We thought it was time to expand her world and take her on a trip to the Clark's River Wildlife Refuge and explore the paths around the lake.

The Car Ride There: We weren't sure how this would go as patches has spent almost no time in a car. After a little coaxing we loaded her into the back seat next to my wife. Patches was nervous the whole ride there but with some calming pets she made it. There was no problem getting her out of the car as she jumped out and was ready for her adventure.

The Hike: It seems Patches was a little overwhelmed at first with all of the new sights and smells and we hadn't even left the parking lot! We started around the lake and 1/2 into our journey it happened, we ran into another human. The old Patches would have totally freaked out and completely shut down or tried to run, but not the new Patches, this time she went and sat behind us to hide. After a brief conversation we continued our trip around the lake. Patches was smelling and exploring, taking everything in. We stopped at the observation platform so she could check it out and got what I thought was the best picture of the trip. Patches decided to give the camera a nose butt as I was taking her picture.

The Car Ride Back: No problem getting her in the car for the ride back. She hopped onto the black floor and slept there on the ride back.

Come on out and see Patches and our other dogs. Their favorite part of the day is when people come out and see them.

Wanting a loyal friend? Tara is your girl! She loves playing ball and playing with kids. She is a 10-month-old black lab and is a great dog that doesn’t deserve to spend another day in a shelter. Her adoption fee is $90. Come and meet her, and you will fall in love with her the same way we have!

Dogs Got Special Christmas Treat courtesy of Chuck and Julia Pombert

Our dogs were surprised with a Special Christmas Treat earlier in the week, healthy homemade doggie Christmas Cookies. Everyone really enjoyed this special treat! The biggest challenge was not to lose a finger in the exchange! They all were like magicians and made the cookies vanish in an instant. Moxie almost wound up on the naughty list as she faked going for the cookie and instead tried to get the whole container of cookies. She was apprehended by the helper elf and all was forgiven in the spirit of Christmas.

All our dogs had a very Merry Christmas and they hope you have Happy New Year!

You can visit any of our dogs Monday, Thursday Friday and Saturday 10-4

🐾A Happy Fletcher Update🐾
Thanks to each of that donated, Fletcher will receiving treatment.

A vet saw this post and offered their services at a lesser cost than what was initially put on the post!

If you donated, it is so much appreciated. The original post that showed who all donated was deleted inadvertently and so we cannot send thank you cards out to everyone who donated!!

Any extra funds raised over the amount the treatment is going to end up costing us will go towards other medical needs at our facility(spay/neuter, vaccines, insulin for Diva, etc,).

If you were one of the last few to donate and would like to be refunded please message.
Heartworms are preventable, our hope is that no dog has to deal with the awfulness of having heartworms

If you would like to foster Fletcher through his treatments all vet bills, food and other supplies will be paid for by us. If you would like to adopt him, he is available for adoption and his heartworm treatments will be provided by us!
Let’s get Fletcher the loving home environment he most definitely deserves! 💙🐶

Who We Are

The Humane Society of Marshall County is for the animals in the Marshall County community. We’re a nonprofit and the ONLY funding we receive is from grants, memberships, fundraisers and from generous donations from you. That’s right, YOU. You keep our doors open and help us to help all the animals that come into our facility.

Don’t know how you can help? It’s not hard! Come play and help socialize our animals. See some cleaner, cat litter or dog food? Pick up some extra and bring it to us. Want a special furry friend of your own - we’re sure to have one just for you! Still don’t know how you can help - just ask us! We have lots of fundraisers throughout year and we don’t turn down down assistance.
