This sweet, speckled girl is Miracle!

Miracle is a 1-year-old cattle dog who has a soft, polite personality that makes everyone fall in love with her right away. We think she will be a great addition to most any home willing to be patient with her as she acclimates.

Visit Miracle today until 6pm or check out our adoptable pets online at www.midlandshumanesociety.org/adopt🐾

Let's talk community cats! 😸

A community cat is an unowned, outdoor, and free-roaming (or stray) cat who prefers to live outdoors rather than in homes. Community cats do not have a single owner, however there are often people that serve as caregivers to them in the neighborhoods they frequent.

Community cats are not used to interacting with people (short or long-term) and are therefore not suited for life indoors with humans. These cats are often brought to shelters by well-intentioned people; however, they are not used to living with humans and usually are not traditional adoption candidates due to their unsocialized nature.

Luckily, MHS offers a "working cat" program where these cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and available to be adopted outside city limits and their adoption fee is simply what you choose to donate. For available or future available working cats, you can submit an application in person at MHS or online here: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/CBIA/47631-working-cat

✨PUPDATE✨

Miracle came to MHS in January 2023 and quickly stole the hearts of everyone who met her. She spent several months in foster care undergoing treatments for her severe skin allergies and recovering from a surgery for a torn cranial cruciate ligament (see last two pictures). One of our amazing volunteers told their dad about Miracle... and the rest is history!

"My dad and brother adopted Miracle about a year ago from MHS. If you remember, Miracle was at MHS for almost one year. What an amazing dog she is! My dad had lost his previous dog due to cancer and then he was in the hospital for a few weeks. When he got out of the hospital, and he was depressed and weak. He said he needed to get a dog. I knew about Miracle’s story, and they went and met Miracle and that was all it took. She has really helped my dad come out of his depression and she will lay by him on the couch, sit ON him in the chair. It’s so cool the bond that they have. Miracle sleeps in bed with him every night. She goes under the covers…headfirst! My dad is a senior citizen, and he walks with a cane and Miracle is so careful around him.

Miracle has her very own dog walker that comes a few times each week, and now that it is cold, she gets to wear her Parka and her boots on her walks. One of her favorite treats is a huge bone from the butcher. She can’t help but lick her lips in anticipation. Her tail is always wagging. So much so, that in pictures you can barely see it sometimes. She loves her toys and tearing them up is one of her favorite past times. Except her orange ball. That can be found in her mouth most of the day. To everyone’s surprise, Miracle has discovered that she likes sour dough bread, which she has stolen off of the kitchen counter a few times (it is now kept inside a closed cabinet). They are so grateful to have her, she is a wonderful addition to the family!"

Thank you so much for this amazing pupdate! We truly love getting to hear how our adopted pets are doing in their homes. Feel free to send us your updates right here on facebook or by emailing us at [email protected] 🐾

NOW LOOKING FOR WORKING CAT HOMES! 😸

These cats are not socialized and prefer to avoid people, but will help with pest control in your barns, warehouses, etc. As there is no TNR program within city limits, these cats need to be rehomed to the county.

These cats still require daily care including feeding & watering, and a dry, warm/cool shelter where they are safe out of the elements. Working cats come spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and their adoption fee is what you choose to donate.

For available or future available working cats, you can submit an application in person at MHS or online here: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/CBIA/47631-working-cat

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

This curly haired cutie is Birt 😍

Birt is a 6 month old Standard Poodle with a sensitive and sweet personality. He is pretty nervous while here at the shelter, so he will need a patient owner who can give him plenty of time to decompress and adjust in his new home. Once he comes out of his shell and lets his true personality shine, we think he will be a great family companion. His previous owner noted that he has successfully lived with other dogs and children.

Visit Birt today until 6pm or you can check out our adoptable pets online at www.midlandshumanesociety.org/adopt 🐾

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

Meet Crash Bandicoot 😍

This 1-year-old boy was brought to MHS by good Samaritans after they witnessed him being hit by a car. His rear leg was badly fractured, and he was in a lot of pain when he arrived. Due to the severity of his injury, the decision was made to amputate his leg. Now Crash is an adorable "tri-pawed" and it's not slowing him down one bit. He is a friendly, loveable little guy who is ready to find a home to call his own.

Visit Crash Bandicoot today until 6pm or check out our adoptable pets online at www.midlandshumanesociety.org/adopt🐾
