Doggy Spotlight: Gentry! 🐶🔦
Male, ~2 years old, Shar-Pei mix.

Gentry, with his thoughtful eyes and wrinkly face, is a handsome, loveable gentleman. Proven to be friends with everyone he meets, he's a mild-mannered sweetheart to boot. Gentry loves to play and simply adores snuggles. He has a wide variety of energy levels and tends to match that of the people around him; calm in quiet moments but can be riled up to zoomy levels when you're engaged in play. He's an excellent and gentle medium-sized dog that's sure to fit a huge variety of homes. He has also gone to numerous events with us, so he's proven great with kids too!

Here's another fabulous foster pup! Coco is staying with our friends at Special Care For Special Pets, and just like Link, she's doing great...but she'd love to have her own family before the pawlidays. Coco is high energy, tons of fun, and she gets along with other dogs. She might just be the best present ever! 🎁

Our buddy Link is staying with our friend Dani at Pawsitive Pup and doing great. BUT, he wants a home for the pawlidays so let's find him a family FAST! Check out what Dani has to say about her guest...❤

"Who wants a Christmas Puppy when you could get a dog instead?! Puppies are overrated! They eat, p**p, sleep, bite, and I’m sorry but they’re milkin the whole “cute” thing.

Take Link for example (available to adopt 😉) he is an adult who is much too dignified to p**p in the floor and can be crated without a fuss. He doesn’t need hours of play to take a nap; he would be happy to take a nap right after he wakes up from his nap. He keeps his run nice and tidy and just wants a couch to sleep on. He is quick to go potty so that he can come back in and if you do happen to want to play, he is happy to amuse you with a bit of fetch and some outrageous zoomies. He makes strange hippo sounds when he needs you to look at him and he is great with my son! He doesn’t love just any dog but would rather have friends that match his level of sophistication. He also seems to be cat friendly.

Not to mention, Link has been fostering with me (a dog trainer) for quite some time now so he will come home with a big understanding of what to expect from him as well as basic training. Pretty great gift if you ask me?!" 🎁

On Tuesday we had the wonderful opportunity to attend Tails and Tales at Plaid Elephant Books where the kids read story books to our pooches. The dogs loved the attention and meeting new friends and I daresay the participants had a great time with our pups, Hanna and Gentry. Hanna has gone to a foster home, but Gentry is still here and looking, come meet him today! #dogs #doggo #storytime #happytails #pupper #adoptadog #books

This is Dennis, a foster-cat under our care. He's a cuddler, a player, and a wonderful family pet. He gets along with other cats and kids, prefers the indoors (with small bits of outdoor time), and is looking for a new home. Call us today to arrange a meet and greet with this sweetheart! #cats #cat #fostercat #fostercats #adopt #adoptacat

You. Guys. On Saturday Boog went home with his new fam! But that's not all: Mr. Handsome, Petey Rebel, Roxie, and Turtleman went to foster homes for the long weekend. That's six doggos, friends! Let's keep it up - open 1-5 tomorrow. The DBCHS relies on the community to help save lives, and y'all are making it happen. ❤ #Grateful #ittakesavillage #ourvillagerocks #foster #adopt

Enjoy a snapshot of our day watching Tiny Timantha (the Tabby lying down) make friends with our office kitten, Pickles (the black and white one throwing hands). Pickles just wants to play and has been harassing Tiny all day. #kittens #playtime #smol #preciousmoments #adoptdontshop #foster #adopt #cats

Please enjoy a fantastic highlight reel from last Saturday's playgroup. We love giving our pups a chance to get out and rough-house together. 🐶🎉❤ #adoptdontshop #doggos #dogs #bestfriends #adoptadog #happytails

Take a look at Balto's introduction to our play groups! He did so well! Come meet him asap; we have a feeling he's gonna go quick.

Welcome!

The Mission of the Danville-Boyle County Humane Society is to promote the humane treatment of companion animals through sheltering, adoptions, community education, and spay/neuter programs. The non-profit group, administered by a 12-person board, owns the Humane Society building and grounds and pays for all maintenance and improvements to the facilities. The building was built in 1978 and expanded in 2005 with a room for the cats and kittens and in 2016 the Katherine E. Nelsen Adoption Center was completed to provide modern and more humane accommodations for our dogs and puppies.

Our organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors working in cooperation with the Boyle Fiscal Court to operate the animal shelter.

The Danville-Boyle County Humane Society opened the Happy Paws Spay/Neuter Clinic in October 2007. The one-day per week clinic makes affordable surgery prices available to individuals receiving public assistance or those with low incomes. Over 1,000 surgeries are performed each year! Happy Paws is self-sustaining, receiving support from private donations and granting agencies.
