🎄 Holiday Hug Hotline ☎️ Sasha Speaking 🐶

Feeling emotionally fragile? Tired? In need of a professional-grade hug dispenser?

Hi, I’m Sasha, and yes, I take my job very seriously.

I am deeply, enthusiastically, unapologetically people-obsessed. If you sit down, I will be there. If you stand up, I will follow. If magnetizing myself to your hip were an option, I would’ve already done it. Lap? Yes please. Leaning in for full-body pets? Even better.

I love my humans big time! Hugs, attention, proximity, all of it. I thrive on connection and bond fast with my people. New situations and new dog friends can still make me a little unsure, but I do best when I’m with you.

Once I’m comfortable, my sweet side shines: soft eyes, wiggly body, gentle treats-taking, and the kind of affection that makes your bad day noticeably better.

If you’re looking for a dog who:
✔️ wants to be involved in everything you do
✔️ believes personal space is fictional
✔️ will happily trade toys for your love
✔️ gives elite-level hugs

…I’m your girl.

Come sit with me. I’ll handle the rest. 💕

Hawkins had Eleven (and Will).
Huntington Humane has YOU.

These tiny adventurers (and their friends) somehow wandered into their own version of the Upside Down.

They need helping finding their way home!

Ready to be their hero? Stop into the shelter today from 12-6! 😉

Christmas Eve looks a little different for some.

For Capone, it’s a quiet morning.
And another day waiting to be seen.

Capone already has two strikes against him:
he’s black, and he’s a pit bull. But here’s what those labels miss:

He’s affectionate and loves hard.
He gives full-body hugs and lives for belly rubs.
He sits, gives paw, takes treats gently, and works for his people because he wants to.
He’s food-motivated, eager to learn, and solid with dogs who enjoy rough-and-tumble play.
At the end of the day? He’s a couch potato who just wants to be close.

He’s not perfect and we’re not going to pretend he is.
He’s big. He’s athletic. He needs structure, guidance, and an adopter who understands him.
But he’s also loyal, goofy, affectionate, and ready to belong to someone.

We’re open today from 12–4 PM.
If you’ve ever thought about meeting a dog like Capone, today counts more than you think.

Sometimes the best dogs are the ones people walk past first 🖤

Salsa has been with us far too long and if you’ve spent any time in Kitty Shack, you already know him. He’s the watchful papa bear of the room, quietly keeping an eye on every kitten pile, every nap, every tiny chaos moment. Patient, gentle, steady. The kind of cat who makes everyone around him feel safer.

Salsa would also like to pass along an important holiday reminder:
‼️🎄 Christmas Eve hours are reduced! We will be open from 12–4 PM.🎄‼️

We’ll be back to regular hours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Our kennels are still very full, and there are so many deserving babies, Salsa included, who would love nothing more than a home for the holidays… and forever. If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart (and your couch), now is a pretty perfect time.

Salsa promises to supervise kittens responsibly, keep watch over your household, and love you endlessly in return. 🥰🐾

The power of fostering, in real time. 🙌🏻

When Clive first came to us with Rayna, he was the quiet one. Shy. Shut down. The kind of dog who makes himself small and hopes the world won’t notice him. Rayna found her home… and Clive was left trying to figure out what came next.

Enter foster family and hero extraordinaries, the Caley family. ❤️🎉 They said yes when Clive needed it most!

After just one month in a foster home, Clive is barely the same dog we met:
▪️Thrives with a friendly, social dog(s) showing him the ropes
▪️Does well with dogs, cats, kids, and even chickens
▪️Housebroken and crate trained
▪️When new people come over, he may bark and move away at first but then he approaches. He allows petting. He chooses connection but he’s still sensitive in new situations. But he does warm up quickly.

Clive coming back to us now compared to when he first arrived is a night & day difference. He’s much more confident and affiliative.

That doesn’t happen by accident.
That happens because a foster gave him time, safety, routine, and grace.

This is why fostering matters.
Not every dog falls apart in a kennel but the ones who do, need the opportunity to flourish in a foster home.

Now here’s the honest part: Clive is really ready to settle down in his forever home. We don’t want to see him lose this hard-earned confidence by returning to a shelter environment. He’s done the work. He’s shown us who he can be.

➡️‼️What he needs now is someone to say this is it: you’re home.‼️⬅️ ✨ And this is the moment where forever truly matters.

🩵 Being able to help families keep their pets fed, supported, and right where they belong -at home- is at the heart of why the STAY (Standing Together for Animals and You) program was created!

Today, 94 dogs and 189 cats were kept fed, alongside 62 families (185 people) who just needed a little bit of a helping hand. That’s a lot of full bellies, wagging tails, and one less impossible choice someone had to make.

We know this time of year is hard. If we can help stretch a dollar a little further and take one worry off your plate, we’re here for it…no judgment, no hoops. 🫶🏻🐶🐱

Huge thank you to Melissa Osborn, Lisa Reyes, and Stacey Mauk for showing up, braving the cold, and making this happen!
And a big shout-out to our incredible Board Member, Hillippy Nick (whose birthday is TODAY! 🥳🎂🙌🏻) who helped get everything loaded into the van last night so we could roll out ready to serve this morning. Teamwork in the truest sense.

If you or someone you know could use help feeding their pets, please know: this resource is here, every week 💙
