Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here at the Humane Society! Frenchie and Tux are in the holiday spirit today. These two kitties came in together after their caretaker passed away, almost 2 years ago! Tux is a very outgoing cat and Frenchie is a lot more reserved and shy. This month only, with an approved application, you can take two kitties home for the adoption fee of one! Share to help us find these two a home! We are open 12-4pm Wednesday through Saturday.

Lucky didn’t feel so lucky on Saturday when he parted from his senior owner who could no longer take care of him. At 14 yrs of age, it was heartbreaking for all of us, as this guy had been with his owner since he was adopted from Homeward Bound at 6 months of age. These are before and after pics of his grooming session today. Our vet seen him on Wednesday and we did senior blood work. Lucky has some tumors and a liver disease in addition to aging eye and hearing issues. But, maybe he’s lucky after all because tomorrow he is going to a loving foster home to live out his golden years.

Our litter boxes are scooped 2-3 times a day at our facility. This morning, one of our volunteers started laughing when scooping. She said that Venice must be getting in the holiday spirit. So please meet Venice and her artwork she left in the litterbox. This was not made by anyone but Venice. We told Venice we could not keep it but we all got a good laugh.

Meet Samson! Samson was recently surrendered after his owner was moving and couldn't find a place for him. Samson is a great little guy! He was so scared the first couple of days, but his personality is starting to show! He loves people and he is also housebroken. We are also told he is good with kids. You can meet this cute little guy during our public hours, 12-4pm Wednesday through Saturday.

Are you looking for a small dog? We have a couple available! Meet V***n. V***n is the mom of Dancer and Prancer. V***n does take a bit to warm up to new people. But once she lets you in, she will give you all the kisses! She seems to like women better than men. She does not seem to be a fan of small children. We haven't tried her with other dogs yet, but we know that there were several other small dogs in the home she came from. She is thought to be around 2 years old. V***n is not housebroken. You can stop by and meet V***n between 12-4 pm Wednesday through Saturday.

Momma Mya is a great mom and is doing a great job teaching them to play. Mya is thought to be around 3 years old. She has an amazing personality. She has not yet met a stranger and has loved everyone she has met. We will keep you all updated!

Carmie's outgoing personality quickly won over her new owner. When we called and let Carmie's new owner know she was approved, she asked who was one of our oldest or long term kitty residents she could also take home. After showing her a couple of our long term kitties, she decided to also adopt Bunny, who looks just like Carmie! Bunny has been with us for almost 3 years! We are so happy that Carmie and Bunny have been adopted and want to thank their new owner for taking the time to meet Bunny and give this sweet girl a home! Both of them deserve it!

London's new family was originally looking for an older male kitten but London just wanted to snuggle up with them all. That quickly made her the choice of this family. Thank you for adopting!

02/09/2025

I did end up messing up the Eagles cookie before her prediction, but here you go! Who do you think will win?

Our little Arges thanks everyone for the donations to help cover his care and also help the other animals here. Yesterday, Arges had his eye removed. When we picked him up, he was feeling great and continues to improve. Arges is thought to be around 6 wks old he still needs to get a little bigger to get neutered in a few weeks before going up for adoption.

Update: Rosie has been placed in foster care as well. Wow! Another very busy week. This little cutie pie was brought in the other day by a Good Samaritan who found her in tall grass. Her little eyes were matted shut and she was having some difficulty breathing. A Dawn bath to get rid of fleas and some antibiotics, and, little Rosie is doing great. At about three weeks old, she’s chowing down canned kitten food.

Elton loves our kitty wheel! Elton is one of several cats who enjoys taking walks on the wheel several times a day! Elton is a 2 year old neutered male. This little guy has really grown up into a social kitty. He has really come around and enjoys people but he also loves his kitty friends. A home with a cat would be ideal for Elton. Stop by and see Elton, and maybe see him work out for you! We are here until 4 today!

Ok here is Glinda's video. Do you agree with her pick?

Adoptable Mae is still waiting on a home to call her own. Mae has been with us for over a year now. She came to us with puppies and they were all adopted. Mae is a good girl and she loves to snuggle. She enjoys her jolly ball and playing in the yard. Mae knows her basic commands and walks well on a leash. Mae needs an experienced dog owner to help her teach her full potential. Mae is thought to be 2-3 years old. She has not been around children and is very selective with other dogs. Stop by and meet Mae between 12-4pm Wednesday through Saturday.

Here is Mae's prediction. Do you agree?

This is our 3rd year of having one of our dogs pick a Superbowl winner. So far we are 1-1. How will we do this year? Adoptable Nugget makes her prediction! Do you agree?

Fluffy water therapy

Fluffy update: we are 3 weeks past Fluffy's TPLO surgery. This week she started her water therapy to help strengthen her leg and build her muscle back up. She is still on restricted walks and crate rest.

Bambi is a sweet fourteen month old Boxer/Lab mix. Bambi was hit by a car in the care of previous owner, and, did not receive necessary veterinarian care. Now she is at the Humane Society of Decatur and Macon County in Decatur, Illinois, awaiting surgery for amputation of her right front leg. Neurological damage cannot be repaired, and, during the length of time she did not receive medical attention, she tried to chew her foot off. She is currently on pain medication and daily bandage change while waiting for scheduled surgery.

Bambi is one of four special needs dogs currently at our facility. Another is Heath, a young, chocolate lab male, waiting for his scheduled surgery at SportsVet in Savoy. Heath needs to have the femoral head removed on his left hip. Heath is another hit-by-car tragedy not receiving veterinary care. He is currently on pain medications. Then, we have Rebecca, a 7 year old Maltese, mostly blind from cataracts. We would like to be able to take her to an ophthalmologist to see if she is a candidate for cataract removal. And, last, but not least is Scooby, a two year old rat terrier mix, that came in mostly blind.

These special dogs would really appreciate any monetary donations to the Humane Society of Decatur and Macon County to help provide for their surgeries and care. You can donate through Network for Good #Giving Tuesday starting now. The Humane Society of Decatur and Macon County is a no-kill animal shelter/rescue that is mainly volunteers, and, depends entirely on private donations and our fundraising activities.

Can you help us help these special dogs?
