It’s official… Faya, our longest resident, has been adopted after 420 days of living in the shelter! 🥹

To say our staff and volunteers were overjoyed is an understatement. We’ve given her so much love and care over the many months she was here and this is the moment we were all waiting for.

She finally gets to sleep in a home of her own. 💕

We are so incredibly happy for her and her new best friend!

Prince Sparkle is a lucky guy to be in one of our loving foster homes. He initially was shy upon arrival but has become a very friendly guy who wants nothing more than to be loved and understood. He would do best in a home with someone who has another dog as he really enjoys his foster siblings and gets a long with both large and small dogs.

Words of his foster mama:
- I love him and am shocked no one has gobbled this sweet pea up.
- He is very well behaved.
- He is very much a Velcro dog and will follow you everywhere.
- He's sooooooooooooo gentle.
- Threat level -100. That's negative 100.
- Introduced him to all size dogs -he takes social cues well.
- Would be happiest in a home with another dog.
- Likes toys, especially tug toys and keep away with humans and other dogs.
- He's housebroken.
- Loves a stuffed PB Kong in his crate.
- Redirects quickly, good boy!
- Acts like a puppy and is goofy clumsy-being so so happy older children are best.
- He LOVES stealing his foster mom's socks and cuddles with them (oh my heart).
- Sweet and sensitive personality, becoming more confident daily.
- Foster mom is taking him to various places to continue to build his confidence by working on exposure therapy.

Overall he is a very nice well rounded sweet dog who would be a great addition to any family.

If you would like to meet Prince Sparkle and schedule a meet and greet, please email [email protected]! 🐾

Nutter Butter, the sweetest senior cat with a knack for adventure. Once a notorious cat burglar, he swiped a few too many butter packets from the local diner. One day, while trying to sneak into the kitchen, he slipped on a butter packet and ended up sliding right into the arms of the diner's owner, who, laughing, delivered him to the shelter. He's friendly, curious, and mellow with a penchant for cuddles. His airplane ears are always tuned in for the sound of a friendly voice. Nutter Butter is looking for a forever home where he can retire from his life of crime and enjoy a good cuddle. If you're looking for a companion who will keep you entertained with his tales of butter heists and who will always be there to listen, Nutter Butter is the cat for you! 🐈

Swing by to meet Nutter Butter and the rest of our adoptable pets Monday, Wednesday & Friday 12pm-5:30pm, Thursday 2pm-6:30pm, and Saturday & Sunday 12pm-4:30pm! 🤩

06/15/2024

The first time you pet this sweet bean behind the ears, you're going to be amazed by how soft he is. But the first time you touch his velvet tummy, you're going to let out a breath you didn't even know you were holding-you don't know what soft feels like until you've given Bingo Dingo a belly rub. 🥰

Bingo knows sit and walks well on a leash, is playful, funny, and so, so friendly. He is initially a bit shy but warms up quickly and will climb right into your lap-all 70lbs of him. He is an absolute love who makes friends wherever he goes-he doesn't care! They've all got hands to pet these delicious, silky ears. He's even going to get that grumpy old uncle who claims he doesn't like dogs to pet him. He wants nothing more in life than to be with his people, but adventures and cheese are pretty great, too.

Bingo's worst qualities are that he always thinks it's his turn to drive, he loves to kiss right on the mouth, and he'll help himself to the cold foam on top of your coffee without asking. He might lick a slipper, but this civilized guy knows what's his and what's yours. Except the cold foam-that's so delicious, it must be for everyone. 🥹

He loves the outdoors, maybe being on a farm, someone with a fenced yard or who likes being outside may be his ideal home as he isn't fond of the crate or kennel runs-free and by your side outside and sleeping inside is his happy place.

To meet this delicious boy visit us during our adoptions hours!
Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12pm-5:30pm

Ready to have your heart do cart wheels. This girl is the dreamboat missing from your life.

Lasagna is SO kind. She genuinely is. She wants to spread her love to everyone and is just pure sweetness to all. She loves love. And she loves her job in life, of being mans best friend, and it's a job she takes very seriously. She is easy going, yet playful and will make you laugh guaranteed, and feel better when you need it most. She would be the most wonderful addition to any family, or the best friend to any person. She is gentle, walks well on a leash and quietly sits in her kennel observing everything. That saying, "she is gold"- that's Lasagna.

Lasagna is not in the main public section of the shelter, so be sure to ask for her by name if you come to visit her!

Come meet the dog of your dreams, and new best friend! 🐶

In case anyone was wondering how our volunteers feel 🤭😂

Ranch Dressing is a cool, crowd favorite.

Rachel Dressing originated right here in the Midwest.

Some people debate which brand of Ranch Dressing is the best, but we have to always remind them there’s only one kind here 🤷‍♀️

Ranch Dressing is even on sale right now.

Ripley (tan) and Crash Nebula on Ice (white) had a blast in their playgroup together yesterday!

Ripley is a 4 year old female who got to spend some time in a foster home recently. She showed us she is house trained and knows basic commands. Great example of the kind of “hidden gem” you can find at your local animal shelter!

Crash is a 2 year old male who came in as a lost pet. No family ever came forward for him, so he’s been with us for a little less than two months now. He’s a great dog and would make a great match for anyone that has another dog friend his size to play with or a family that likes to entertain their dog and provide enrichment and exercise!

While these two are friends, they do not need to go to a home together by any means (but could if you’re someone looking for two pups at once!). Don’t let their play group fun deter you from adopting just one of them ❤️

We appreciate all who participate in Trap/Neuter/Return to make the lives of outdoor cats better!

For those who participate and/or are new to TNR, here is a tip of the day:

🚩 Do NOT trap a cat without having a plan first.

If your plan is to take the kitty to a shelter, work with a TNR organization, or rescue, please reach out to them first to find out their policies and availability to help. ✨

If your plan is to take the cat to a low-cost clinic, make sure you know what days/times and availability the clinic has for appointments.

Here is more info on TNR: https://www.alleycat.org/resources/how-to-help-community-cats-a-step-by-step-guide-to-trap-neuter-return/

And of course, we are here for the kitties that can’t be TNR’d, such as kittens too young, injured or ill cats, and cats that do not have a safe place and caretaker to return to!

If you need information about 'How to TNR', please visit our website at hssc.us/trap-neuter-return or call the shelter at 563.388.6655 option 1 to speak with Liz!

🐈‍⬛ Our next TNR date is June 17th! 🐈 Call Liz for details if you are new to our service! ❤️

Part-time model, full-time goofball!

Jones is a laid-back guy who loves nothing more than a cozy bed and some belly rubs. He loves to get attention, but he also would love to hog the bed. You may wake up with a crick in your neck, but you'll never sleep better!

Jones takes treats gently, knows sit, and thoroughly enjoys walks. He's happy for attention, but never complains if he doesn't get enough. He's just so grateful for everything he's given each day. He most definitely enjoys a good meal and treats! Sitting as close to you as he can just lights up his world.

Jones would make a wonderful new best friend to anyone. He'd do great with a family, a couple, or a single person looking for their ride or die.

Jones is included in our Free Love event where all adult pet adoption fees are waived through June 30th! 🌈

Fred is a loving guy who has all of the classic energy, intelligence, and spice. He is young, active and usually on the move. While he's a hardcore snuggler, he wants a best friend who will take him on lots of long walks and hikes.

To say he's intoxicating is an understatement. It took us less than a week to be completely head over heels. He knows some basic obedience, loves toys, snuggles, being goofy and chase with zoomies. He's already an amazingly beautiful, abundant, spunky, sweet, charming, adorable, and absolutely wonderfully awesome dog in a stunning package!!!
