๐Jordan's Way is coming to The Humane Society of Hobart to help raise awareness and funding for pets like the Beautiful, sweet Zara!
๐ Zara has a past story we will never fully know. Her scars and timid, shy behavior tell a sad one for sure. She's scared. She will hardly walk when we are around, carried in and out to the play yard for quiet time.
๐ She has had multiple tests and bloodwork...her health is good...her spirit broken.
๐ Zara needs a real human to show her what real love and trust is. We are looking for foster or foster to adopt asap so this girl can begin her journey to the beautiful world of second chances.

๐ Memory Eternal to the 9 K9 Shepherds that died on July 27, 2023, of heat stroke in Lake Station, Indiana. We will never forget that night, bore witness, have stood as advocates for your lives, and have grieved alongside the community since.
๐ We recognize all parties charged in this case are innocent until proven guilty. On July 27, 2023, The Humane Society of Hobart field services personnel were dispatched by the City of Lake Station to Road Ranger Gas Station to assist with 18 canines reportedly to be suffering from heat stroke during a transport from OโHare Airport to FMK9 in Michigan. 9 Canines died of heat stroke that night. In our professional opinion, with more than 50 years of combined service in the animal welfare field onsite that evening, we believed then, and still do now that the neglectful acts and business practices of FMK9 resulted in those deaths.
๐ Today, after more than a year-long investigation by the Indiana State Police, charges have been filed against the owner and driver of FMK9 with 18 counts of neglect. We are grateful for all of the volunteers, firefighters, EMT personnel, and police on the scene that evening that tried to save these lives. We are grateful for the Indiana State Police, Lake County Prosecutors Office, Detective Christopher Eagles, and Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter for their incredibly thorough and professional investigation and collaborative effort to answer the questions we were all asking that nightโฆhow could this happen, why did this happen, and what could have been done to prevent it.
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน We are now asking what can be done to prevent this from happening again. We are obligated to ensure it never happens again. When communities suffer tragic incidents such as we have in this unfortunate one, we must learn, grow, and heal from it. We should be creating a plan that can be replicated BEFORE other communities face this tragedy. That plan is solidified through teamwork and collaboration. We are solving public problems and ensuring public safety together. We are creating dynamic and adaptive public policy and improving quality of life together. We are building humane communities together. There must be a collective consciousness and effort by municipalities, non-profits, the business community, and citizens to develop a plan to ensure that people and pets can live in a cruelty free, humane, safe, and compassionate community. Only together can we ensure this never happens again. It is our hope that together we can create this plan, strengthen our Indiana statutes, local codes and ordinances, and build a better future for pets and pet families. Memory Eternal.

Diego, (formerly known as Dago) has had a challenging journey these past few months ๐ Approximately 4 years old. Small guy with a big heart! He once had a family and a home where he knew nothing but loveโฆuntil he didnโt ๐ฅน To no fault of his own, he found himself left in the lobby of an animal clinic earlier this year, he was then transferred to the Humane Society of Hobart. He struggled for months in the smallest kennels due to overcrowding, anxiously pacing in such a confined space while watching his kennel mates go home one by one. When he finally moved to the larger main kennel, we hoped his adorable spotted face would quickly find him a loving family. No luck yet! ๐ฅน Unfortunately, his paw pads have become extremely painful and sensitive walking on pavement and staying in cement floored kennels for so long, making it hard for him to even tolerate brief walks to the play yard anymore. We carry him! We even bought him special shoes! But all that he really wants, is to GO HOME! Are you his freedom ride? Despite his hardships, Diego knows his basic commands and even how to shake. He's truly one of the best boys and is beyond deserving of a home with soft grass and a loving companion to help him feel worthy of the love he deserves. Diego is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Hobart. Stop by and meet him! #70yearsoflifesaving #MoreThanADogPound #adopt #PetcoLovePartner

๐ Henry went missing last Friday from Chicago. Dad posted flyers to over 100 locations, hit all the missing pet sites, searched and searched and found out he was dropped off at our shelter by an incredibly wonderful person who found Henry down here in Indiana! ๐ Dad drove down and sat in our parking lot after hours to see if he could hear Henry's bark-then got a hotel so he could get to the shelter minutes before opening. ๐ Henry went to foster when he came to us because we had no kennel space, so when Henry's dad came back the next day, our awesome foster Tina brought him right back for the reunion! ๐ฅฐ It was so heartwarming to see someone go to that length to make sure they got their dog home. Still a mystery how he jumped states. Only Henry knows the real adventure. Lol ๐ Henry is now chipped and registered for free at Petco Love Lost! The unthinkable can happen, get your pet chipped through HSH for $20.00 and register for Petco Love Lost for free at petcolovelost.org. It only takes a few minutes and could make all the difference in reuniting with your lost pet! #PetcoLovePartner #PetcoLoveLost #70YearsOfLifesaving

What a rough way for these pets to start their New Year and most are still here...waiting.๐ช Chewy and Blitz made it OUT of the shelter! As happy as we are for them, our hearts break for the others. Out of the 7 dogs we got in January, there are still 5 amazing babies waiting at the The Humane Society of Hobart, Inc. for their forever homes! ๐ญTHE Uhaul 7 ๐พ The Humane Society of Hobart responded to a difficult scene in January. Times can be really tough for pet families, and we choose to reserve judgement. โค๏ธ A family and their 7 dogs were living in a U-Haul Box Truck and found their way to Hobart. Circumstances forced the surrender of their pets. 2 out of the 7 have found loving homes, while the rest sit and wait their turn.
The Humane Society of Hobart, Inc. is a charity registered under IRS 501 (c)(3).
It was founded and received itโs 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 materialโฆanything 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.
