It's official! The 2025 No. 1 Montgomery County Dog has been named along with number 2 and number 3. Congrats to Sailor for being this year's #1 Dog along with Sophie as #2 and Santiago as #3 (who conveniently traded her #3 status for the 007 number instead). All three of these licenses were purchased during our Pet Afflaire Gala last year as part of our fundraiser to support animals in need at our shelter. We want to thank Auditor Karl Keith for helping to coordinate this and want to congratulate these top dogs for pawing-it-forward to support other animals in their community!

Meet Patches, a sweet and loving senior kitty ready for her second chance at happiness. After losing her owner, Patches found her way to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. The shelter can be overwhelming for a sensitive girl like her, so she’s currently thriving in a foster home while waiting to meet her forever family. Patches has easily managed thyroid issues and takes her daily medication like a pro—especially when it’s tucked into her favorite Churu treat!

Patches is an affectionate and friendly cat who would flourish in a calm, quiet home. She enjoys the company of other cats and would love a feline friend to keep her company. While she adores attention, loud noises can make her nervous, so a peaceful environment will help her feel secure. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and easygoing nature, Patches is ready to meet you!

HSGD family we need your help. Earlier this month we told you about a litter of 7 puppies abandoned at the shelter with Parvo. Sadly, despite all of our care, three were too far along to survive this extremely dangerous illness. However, we still have four puppies who are now far enough along that they are in need of special foster homes. We always want to be very transparent with all of you and these puppies could still be shedding the virus. We do not recommend someone who has small puppies in their home to foster, but people who have just cats can be an ideal home to temporarily house them as they continue to heal and grow so that they can then be entered into our adoption program. This is a short-term foster experience and we will provide you with everything you need to make this a successful experience. If you are willing to open your heart and home to one of these four puppies, please reach out to us at by filling out a foster application now at www.hsdayton.org/foster.

Fiona’s journey from fragile to fabulous is nothing short of inspiring!

This sweet girl arrived at our shelter as a small puppy in desperate need of help. She was suffering from severe demodex mange, which left her completely hairless, unbearably itchy, and covered in painful sores. Her discomfort didn’t stop there—an infection caused by her condition damaged one of her eyes so severely that it had to be removed.

But Fiona never gave up, and neither did we. With the compassionate care of our Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital, she received the medical attention she desperately needed. Every bath, every treatment, and every cuddle brought her one step closer to healing. Fiona also had the love of a devoted foster family who surrounded her with warmth and patience.

Day by day, Fiona’s coat slowly grew back, and her playful puppy energy started to shine through. Now, Fiona is thriving in her forever home, where she’s not just surviving—she’s truly living her best life.

We’re profoundly grateful to Best Friends Animal Society for helping make success stories like Fiona’s a reality. Together, we’re ensuring every animal has a chance to heal, thrive, and find their happily ever after.
