Meet dog of the month Aggie!
Older pets and black animals tend to get overlooked in shelters, but if you're looking for an underdog who deserves the spotlight, look no further -- Aggie is waiting for you! This sweet senior is well-versed and full of character. When she gets excited, she does the cutest little tappy-toe dance. When she wants more pets, she'll nudge your hand with her snoot and give you the saddest puppy dog eyes until you give in. When it's time for a bath, she loves a sudsy massage. (Brownie points are awarded if you give her a blueberry facial scrub.)

Alexa is having a great time hanging out in our doggie room that is set up to give our pups an idea of what life can be like in a home! She enjoyed some snuggle time and even got to watch her favorite movie! Scooby Doo!

Thank you so much to Lee Asher from The Asher House for visiting us today! We had a great time showing you around SICSA and talking all things animal welfare with you. Our pups Hank, Josie, and Timber especially loved hanging out and getting some extra love! We greatly appreciate you stopping by and spending your afternoon with the SICSA pack!

If you'd like to see Lee, you can still grab tickets to his Dayton Live show at the Victoria Theater tonight. We'll be there with some adoptable puppies who would love to meet you, too!

Happy !
🐾 Meet Josie! 🐾
This eager-to-please pup is always ready for an adventure! Whether she’s out for a walk or just hanging out, Josie has a knack for making friends with any person who crosses her path. With her soft, fluffy coat and playful personality, she’ll charm you in no time! 🥰

Meet senior cat Miss Mary Mack! From quiet and timid, to Queen of the front office! Miss Mary has been in our care for 224 days and while here, she has really blossomed into the sweetest of girls. She's a pretty great work companion too and can be found chilling with her human coworkers in the adoption lobby! She is mellow, affectionate, and has the CUTEST little squeaky meow, which she'll use when she wants your attention.

We think Mary would make a good office or shop pet, or companion for someone without other pets. If you're looking for a laid-back velcro cat, this one may be looking for you too!

Meet Livvy from Cooper's Safe Place Animal Rescue
Livvy is such a cute, sweet perfect balance of fun and cuddles. She loves playing with other dogs and loves being by your side.
Livvy was found abandoned when she was just a tiny puppy and she is now learning, growing and thriving! Livvy is crate trained, potty trained and is doing well with basic commands. She is 5 1/2 months old and about 20 lbs! Don’t let her size fool you, she plays with her 80 lb. fosters siblings and keeps up just fine! She has been around dogs and cats and does well with both, although she is somewhat scared of our three-year-old cat. She is great with adults and children and is so excited to meet everyone! We believe her to be a mix of Pit, American Bulldog, American Eskimo, Toy poodle, Maltese and a few other breeds! (DNA Test said so)! Though she is on the smaller side, she is healthy and full of energy! She loves to run with the other dogs and follow what they do. A perfect day for Livvy is lots of playtime outside in the yard playing with her doggy siblings, and then snuggling up to rest. She loves the kiddie pool and will just go swimming when she is hot! She also loves to sunbathe and gets super excited for her walks! This sweet girl would do best in a home with children or another dog. She loves the interaction and lights up when the kids come home from school. She also gets extremely excited to have another dog to run around with so we definitely want her to have at least one dog in the home.
If you think Livvy would be a perfect fit for your family, fill out our adoption application here: https://www.coopersafeplace.org/application-page

Meet Flower! This 2-year-old, 55-pound fluffy mutt, likely a Rottie / Husky mix, is the sweetest girl!! She has a super soft coat, a gentle spirit & she’s just so sweet!! Flower is great with cats and other dogs, making her an easy addition to a multi-pet home. She loves toys, particularly tennis balls, & will happily entertain herself with her favorite ball!! Flower is already potty trained, crate trained, and an all around good girl, so she’s ready to ease right into her forever home!

Flower is available for adoption through Adopt A Pit! You can find out more information about adopting and fill out an application at https://adoptapitrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Meet Guardian Angel, Tycoon! Tycoon is a mixed-breed Chihuahua, a good boy with huge, “satellite-dish-sized” ears, who is also paralyzed in his back legs and moves around with the assistance of a wheelchair. When a rural shelter realized little Tycoon's health issues were more complex than they could manage, both physically and financially, Tycoon needed SICSA to be his safe landing place. Our Guardian Angel Fund exists to support those pets who have a promising prognosis but need significant medical intervention to return to a good quality of life. Tycoon, renamed Ty, is now where he needs to be, adopted by our President and CEO, Jack Omer! Jack couldn't say no to such an adorable face. With the help of SICSA's Guardian Angel Fund, Ty is not only receiving excellent follow-up care from our award-winning Clinical Team at SICSA, but also going to water-treadmill physical therapy and acupuncture appointments. Jack is happy to report that Ty is re-gaining use of his rear legs again! Thank you Square One Salon and Spa, MyUSA Credit Union, McGohan Brabender, and Riegel Financial for helping pups like Ty on his road to recovery!

Want to help more pets like Ty receive the life-saving care they need? Donate to our Guardian Angel Fund here!: https://www.sicsa.org/gafund/

Timber has been in our care for 1,000+ days now. While he's been here, Timber has seen 5,573 pets find their loving homes. He has made many human friends who love him deeply, and has even made friends with a few other SICSA pups, which was something he wasn't too confident with when he first arrived. We are incredibly proud of the progress Timber has made in his training while he's been here and we couldn't ask for a better team of Animal Care Techs to support and love him. We are confident that Timber's family is out there. Please help us find them. 💗

If you're interested in fostering Timber, fill out a Foster Dog Questionnaire here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/SIC/Dog
