Cold Weather Reminder: Reporting Animals in Need โ„๏ธ๐Ÿพ

With colder weather upon us, we know many of you are concerned about animals left outside without proper shelter or care. We greatly appreciate your compassion and willingness to help these animals in need. Here's how you can assist:

๐ŸŒ Report Online Anytime
If you see an animal in distress, the best way to report it is through our online form: https://www.highlandhumanesociety.org/report-cruelty/. This system allows our Humane Agent to access reports while on the road, helping her respond faster.

๐Ÿ“ž Why Online Reports Work Best
If you call to make a report, please note that our agent may not be in the office to take your call immediately. In these cases, weโ€™ll ask for your name and number or guide you to make a report online. While it may feel frustrating, this approach ensures your report gets to the right person as quickly as possible.

We understand not everyone has access to a smartphone, internet, computer but most people know someone who does who can help them. If you truly cannot use the online form then please leave your name, number and an agent will return your call as soon as they can.

๐Ÿš™ Our Team at Work
We currently have one experienced Humane Agent in the field and a second agent in training who is not yet able to work independently. Balancing investigations, follow-ups, and new reports takes careful coordination.

โฐ Patience Is Key
Our agents canโ€™t work 24/7, and there will be times when immediate responses arenโ€™t possible. Like you, we want the best outcomes for these animals, and protecting the well-being of our agents is part of that mission. Burnout in this demanding role can delay help even more in the long run.

๐Ÿ’› Thank you for your understanding and for being a voice for animals in need. Together, we can continue to make a difference in our community! ๐Ÿพ

With the weather getting colder, we need some bales of straw to have on hand here at the shelter for us to give out to people in need of straw for outside dogs and cats. Also, this allows our Humane Agent to be able to put straw in outside boxes whenever she finds a need.

We realize not everyone agrees with animals like cats and dogs being kept outside but especially in our current animal state an outside home with someone caring for them is better than homeless or stuck in a shelter not moving or worse.

If you can help please let us know!

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’– Meet Kimi Finster! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿถ

Kimi is the last of our Rugrats Litter, and sheโ€™s as unique as they come! Unlike her Australian Cattle Dogโ€“looking siblings, Kimi is a total standout with her short, chunky legs (complete with an adorable front bow!), and she looks more like a mini Basset Hound mix as Kimi still only weighs 13 lbs at 4 months old. With a white coat dotted with black spots and a face painted in black and tan, this low-rider pup is full of charm! ๐Ÿพ

Kimiโ€™s mom was a 40-lb mixed breed, but we think Kimi may have had a different dad. That just makes her even more special to us! Sheโ€™s a wiggle-butt through and through, which makes weigh-ins a hilarious challenge. ๐Ÿคญ

Kimi is a snuggle pro who loves to give kisses, play, and cuddle with kids, dogs, and people of all ages. And weโ€™re pretty sure sheโ€™ll warm up to cats, too! ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’• Ready to give this doll baby the forever home she deserves? ๐ŸŒˆ

Kim Finster's adoption fee is $300, includes vaccines, flea & tick treated, and will be microchipped and be scheduled for her spay.

You can apply online for them at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sr2794&method=online_form_html&formid=21 OR stop into the shelter 12- 5 pm Tuesday through Friday or 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday to meet who is available at that time. Please arrive no later than 30 minutes before we close to ensure we have time to do the adoption.

Take advantage of our foster-to-adopt program, where you can take any dog 4 mos and older home for a week to make sure it is a good fit before committing to adoption.

UPDATED: Anyone know this dog?

He has a head tilt and is spinning a lot.

Vet says it is most likely vestibular most common causes are hit in the head or severe ear infection since heโ€™s not old. He is currently on meds to see if his condition gets better.

Found around the 124-panhandle over by wildlife area.

He has some weird movements and we would like to know if this is new like he was hit by a car or had seizures or something?

We will be having him checked out by a vet but any background info would be helpful!

Do you have kongs laying around that your dog no longer uses?

We would love to have them!

Our kong supply for dogs and puppies has gotten low and we are needing more to help keep the pups less board during their stay with us.

We will also take any puzzles, lick mats, benebones, toys, other treat dispensing toys, balls, and really any dog toys that your dog no longer needs.

If you have any that you can donate please drop off during open hours 12-5 pm Tuesday through Friday and 11 am to 3 pm on saturday.

Bugs Moran is loving life indoors!

This 10+ year old blind dog who was living in a tiny pen of about 3 x 6 has completely adapted to inside living. He loves to chew on toys, chase a ball, climb on the couch, sleep on the dog beds and gets so excited for every meal time.

Bugs Moran is still looking for a retirement home to live out his remaining years enjoying inside living.

His bloodwork came back great, he is getting neutered and a dental.

If you would be willing to give this sweet boy with lots of life and love left to share a home please reach out! He is in a foster home so an appointment does have to be made so he can be brought to the shelter.

WOW WHAT A CLINIC YESTERDAY! IT WAS OUR LARGEST EVER!

Thank you to everyone who spent part of their day waiting in our parking lot to help your animals be healthier!

Thank you to everyone who was kind and polite to the staff and was so patient with the extra-long wait. We had no idea yesterday was going to be so big. We really appreciate the patience and it's the reason that the staff was willing to work an hour after closing to get everyone in who signed up before 1.

SO HERE'S THE NUMBERS FROM YESTERDAY AND THEY ARE IMPRESSIVE!

There were 4 staff members running things.

We had 3 adoptions on top of seeing 89 animals yesterday in 6 hours!

We averaged 4 minutes an animal for the actual vaccinating and microchipping.

We vaccinated 32 dogs and 55 cats
We microchipped 15 dogs and 3 cats
We gave flea & tick to 12 dogs and 21 cats
We gave dewormer to 10 dogs and 27 cats

The staff was exhausted but we were happy to do it knowing that 89 animals will have a healthier life because of so many caring people.

We will do this every month on different days of the week until our FREE vaccines run out and then we'll reapply for more free vaccines then and hope we get them.
