And your 2024 HHS Spooky Costume Contest winner is... Martino!

Unfortunately, Martino must celebrate privately because he is feeling a little under the weather and isn't currently up for adoption, but we will make sure news of his victory meets his little orange ears.

Thank you to everyone for participating in the contest! We'll see you next year!

Scroll through to see some behind-the-scenes costume photos of pets who didn't make the running (because they were adopted before we could post. Which makes them the real winners)!

This , we are celebrating the importance of foster homes. Neymar needs a calm environment while he is undergoing treatment for heartworm, something that is difficult in a noisy and stressful kennel environment. That's where foster comes in.

Thanks to our incredible volunteer foster families, we have comfortable home environments for our animals in need. From giving an animal a weekend break from the kennels to raising kittens, our fosters are a vital part of Hinsdale Humane Society and quite literally save lives. Just like Neymar.

If you are interested in fostering animals, please visit hinsdalehumanesociety.org for information.

To help Neymar's treatment, visit tinyurl.com/HHS-Neymar.

It's the final countdown!

It's all come down to this, folks! We hope you have enjoyed your Halloween, but now it's time for the most important election of the year. Bonded pair Mollie & Pauly as a monkey and her banana vs. Martino the vampire bat!

Leave your votes in the comments and check back in a few after we tabulate the votes. As a special thanks for your participation, we'll include some costume contest outtakes when we crown the winner.

Happy Howl-o-ween!

Happy Halloween! Tomorrow is the first day of November, which means it's time for a new !

Candy is our longest-term animal, having first arrived at Hinsdale Humane Society as a stray way back in December 2023. That means she has been with us for ten whole months! We want Candy to find her forever home before her one-year anniversary with us.

Candy is a very playful young lady who loves to run around and climb. If you've ever wanted to "catify" your home with cat highways and catios, Candy is the perfect fit for you! She has a very big personality and is always making us laugh with her goofy behavior (she sometimes gets so excited by a toy that her tail will puff up like she's surprised by her own excitement).

Candy is looking for a home where she can be part of the family, front and center. She doesn't have a lot of experience with other animals, so we think she would be happiest as the only pet in a home.

If you're interested in this perfect specimen of a cow cat, visit us at Hinsdale Humane Society! Candy is waiting to meet you 🐮

Is it really the end of the year? We can’t believe it either! 🌟

As we at HHS look back on 2024, it is with so much gratitude for our community. It is because of your unwavering support and commitment to our mission that we have been able to continue saving lives.

Animal welfare isn’t easy. It’s full of heartache, an endless supply of animals in need, and daily challenges.

It’s also full of hope, happiness, love, and successes. Every animal who comes into our care at HHS becomes part of us, and we give them everything we have.

As we wrap up 2024, we are asking for your help to continue our work to find all our animals A Home of Their Own.

Hinsdale Humane Society believes that every animal deserves a safe and nurturing place to call home, and with your help, we can turn this vision into a reality.

With your support, we can help transform lives and find homes for those who need it most.

Join us in this critical, life-saving mission of finding every animal in our care A Home of Their Own.

WE CANNOT DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOU!

Ghouls and goblins! Ladies, gentlemen, and gentlethems! It's time for the semi-final round in our second annual HHS Spooky Costume Contest 🎃🎃🎃

Dynamic duo Mollie & Pauly are taking on Lilo! But don't worry—in her spider costume, Lilo has an extra eight legs so she's more than capable of taking on the monkey and her banana!

And then we have Martino the vampire bat vs. Clyde the lion! Normally we'd vote on the lion, but they're in the same weight class this time.

Leave your vote in the comments below and check back on Halloween to decide on the winner! (I promise I did not rig it so the final round would be dog vs. cat!)

Thank you so much to The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside for hosting us over the weekend for our adoption event! We are always so thrilled to work with our partners in the community for the shared goal of finding homes for these precious animals.

Neymar is a friendly, lively boy who was living at Chicago Animal Care and Control in very real danger of euthanasia. You see, Neymar has heartworm disease. Although heartworm is a very treatable condition, our friends at CACC were only able to provide him with the first 30 days of treatment. Without the funds for further treatment or the space to keep him quarantined from other dogs, Neymar was in desperate need of a rescue.

We gladly took Neymar into our care, and within twenty minutes, he was safe in one of our experienced foster homes. But that isn't the end of Neymar's story.

We are determined to see Neymar through his treatment, but we need your help. Heartworm treatment requires antibiotics (already provided by CACC), followed by a series of three injections. We need assistance paying for Neymar's care, including the injections, painkillers, food, and more.

With your help, we will be able to help Neymar on his journey to a healthy future in a home of his very own.

Please donate to help Neymar and other pets like him. You can donate here on Facebook or on our website by visiting tinyurl.com/HHS-Neymar. If you are unable to donate right now, it would help us so much if you could spread the word about Neymar!

Let's help Neymar together!

As you probably know, we have recently extended our operation hours to 7 pm every weekday. While this allows more time for adopters to visit, it also gives our animal care staff opportunities to snap gorgeous golden hour photos of our animals!

This photo was taken by animal care staff Lizzy and demonstrates how photogenic our cats are! Celebrate with Clyde by gazing upon his beauty 😍 (Psst... he's up for adoption, too!)
