🥰 Meet Kevin! 🥰

Kevin is an energetic (some might say crazy🤪 ) 6-month old pittie mix with a beautiful black and white coat.

Even though he realllly wants to jump and get your attention, he will sit for treats. You know how excited he is because his little teeth start chattering in anticipation.

If you're looking for an active dog with lots of potential, this is your guy!💗

🥰 Meet Spike! 🥰

Spike is a one-year old Terrier mix weighing about 23 pounds. He is very friendly, but is a little scared walking on leash. He was recently transferred to us from an overcrowded shelter in southern Indiana and would really like to find a forever home.

Stop by and meet this little guy❣️

Meet Novo: The Most Eligible (but Tragically Overlooked) Bachelor!

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round and behold the heartbreak that is Novo—the goodest boy who somehow still didn’t get picked as someone’s Valentine. That’s right. While other dogs were getting love notes and belly rubs, Novo was left sitting by the door, a single tear rolling down his adorable snoot.

But don’t worry, he’s ready to pick himself up, dust off his fur, and find the one—and by that, we mean YOU.

Novo is a certified catch:
✔ Handsome? Obviously.
✔ Great listener? You bet.
✔ Always down for snacks and cuddles? Say no more.
✔ Willing to forgive you for passing him over on Valentine’s Day? …He’s working on it.

This sweet, affectionate boy just wants to love and be loved. So, if you’re ready to turn his heartbreak into a happily-ever-after, come meet Novo today! Let’s make sure he never spends another Valentine’s Day alone. ❤️🐶

Another poem for you…
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you don’t adopt Lucy
There’s something wrong with you

Lucy has been on numerous Doggy Day Outs and everyone says the same thing: she loves to play, then loves to snuggle. That's what most people want, right? A dog they can play fetch with and cuddle with on the couch. She is gentle with kids, too!

Today marks two months at the shelter for this brown-eyed, short stack and that’s two months too long!! She’s snuggled in with her stuffies but she’d rather be on the couch with uou!!

Come and meet Lucy and make her your forever Valentine today!!

Open 11-7 today and 11-4 this weekend, no appt necessary!!

💜ADOPTED💜

Roses are red 🌹
Violets are blue 💙
Come adopt Ringo🐶
He’s waiting for you!! 💞

Can’t decide between a lovable Lab or a smarty pants German shepherd? Ringo’s (likely) a mixture of both!!

Don’t let this sweet, playful, energetic pup spend another night in the shelter… if you’ve been thinking of adopting, here’s your sign:

Let Ringo be your Valentine 💘

We are open 11-7 today, no appt necessary & we have lots of pups to meet!!

In memory of Cali, a goodest pup, donations were made for her 2nd year at the 🌈 bridge.

Her family loved her so so much and they wanted to share some love with the shelter on her anniversary. 💜

Thank you so much to Cali's family.
She was lucky to have such a wonderful home, and we’re lucky for adopters like you 💜🥰

Memory eternal Cali 💖

Menorah and Shalom
Menorah and Shalom

Have you ever seen anything cuter than Nori and her brother Shalom cuddling?? (No you haven’t) Both puppies are looking for their forever families… Where are you?? Nori (Menorah) is very friendly and outgoing, loves other dogs and is a total sweetheart. Shalom is a little more reserved, loves toys, and they both would love their own pair of crocs 😂 Their foster says they are both the easiest puppies she’s ever fostered! 🥰 Apply to adopt one of these cuties at hshobart.org (The white dog is not available, he’s their big foster brother ☺️)

Behind the scenes
Behind the scenes

Here’s a little behind the scenes look at what we’ve been doing… gotta take a break from cleaning sometimes! In between 2nd and 3rd walks staff shut all of the doors and let some of our fur babies run around small/medium kennel’s back room! They got a taste of a semi real house and some freedom to explore, play, and of course get treats and snuggles 🥰

Perko & Novo
Perko & Novo

💞 Perko made another best friend in Novo!! They had a blast together during playgroup 🥰. 💞 Both handsome boys are adoptable and waiting for their forever families!! 💞 About Perko: He would do best in a home with a confident, dog-friendly dog and people that are willing to let him go at his own pace. 💞 About Novo: Sun’s out Tongue out is Novo’s motto. He loves everyone but is a bit of a bowling ball so older kids are best…🤷‍♀️ #BeALifeSaver #verygoodboys

Waylon’s ready to find his forever family! Come and meet him today!!

Even on the hard days we find things to be thankful for. We are so appreciative of Cindy from Patient Paws Positive Dog Training for providing Thanksgiving dinner to our homeless pets, including our newest medical girl left in our outside runs overnight. She has a very long road to recovery and any donations towards her care are greatly appreciated.

💜ADOPTED! 💜 Meet Macklemore. He was found behind a goodwill thrift store, where many said he has resided for quite some time. He’s a meaty lil bohunk, weighing in at 57lbs of low riding love. Macklemore enjoys singing and uniquely rolls his R’s to entertain staff at the shelter! If you say “How high?” Macklemore will gladly jump into your arms! He has lots of sassy attitude but he’s well mannered and listens super well! He’s potty trained, keeps a clean kennel, and really doesn’t pull on walks. He’s very food motivated and loves salmon jerky treats the most! #BeALifesaver #AdoptMe

About Us

The Humane Society of Hobart, Inc. is a charity registered under IRS 501 (c)(3).

It was founded and received it’s charter in 1954. Before this time, people were struggling to find a solution to the ever increasing number of strays who often met a cruel fate. With no facility to hold stray and abandoned animals, valuable and loved pets were sometimes cruelly mistreated or euthanized because they had wandered from home; strays were often shot in the streets.

The shelter was founded by a group of local citizens on land donated by Bertha Jacoby. The first president, Morris Cox, started a drive to raise funds, supplies, time, labor, and material…anything people were able to give. Through the help of many, the shelter became a reality.

The Society has provided animal control for the City of Hobart since 1957.
