❤️🤍💙 Happy 4th of July from all of us at Huntington Humane! 🇺🇸 While we’re closed today, we’re still wishing you a safe and sparkly holiday—especially for your four-legged family members!

A few quick reminders to keep your pets safe and your sanity intact this holiday weekend:

🐾 Walk early, potty early. Get those walks and bathroom breaks done before the booms begin.
📛 Collars & ID tags on. Don’t have a tag? Write your number on their collar with a Sharpie or slap some tape on it. Fast and simple is better than lost and frantic.
🐱 Wrangle those free-range felines. Start calling your indoor/outdoor cats now and get them in before the sky explodes.
🔊 Turn up the noise. TVs, fans, white noise—anything to help drown out the chaos outside.
🚪 Secure the fort. Kennels latched, doors locked, baby gates in place. You may be going in and out of the house more often tonight, so keep a watchful eye on where your animals are staying. It only takes a second for a panicked animal to bolt.

Bottom line: a little prep now saves you heartache later. ❤️🤍💙

And remember—Animal Control is available 24/7 for emergencies: 260-356-8316!
Stay safe, stay sparkly, and give your pets an extra treat tonight (they earned it). 🐶🎆🐱

Stitch says it’s time to declare independence—from the shelter life! 🇺🇸

While we’ll be closed tomorrow in observance of July 4th, we’ll be back in full swing Saturday and Sunday, ready to help every tail-wagger and toe-bean bring the fireworks home during the BISSELL Empty the Shelters Event (July 5–19)!

💥 Adoption specials? Oh, say can you see… DISCOUNTS:
🐱Adult cats: FREEdom (aka waived fee)
🐱Kittens: $15
🐶Adult dogs: $50

✨ Now about our featured firecracker, Stitch!
A medium-sized Heinz 57 with the heart of a marshmallow, Stitch is the perfect blend of “let’s go for a stroll” and “please pass the remote.” He starts out a little shy, but give him a minute (literally like two) and you’ve unlocked full lovebug mode.

He’s made great pup friends here—his BFF is Woody the beagle, aka his emotional support sausage. We think he’d thrive with respectful kiddos and kind humans who understand that great relationships start with trust…and maybe snacks.

So this weekend, let freedom ring—right into your living room and come adopt Stitch! He’s the spark after the sparkler. 💥✨

Once upon a meow in a land not so far away (aka our Purvanna Room), three brave boys set out on the most important mission of their lives: Operation: Get Adopted.

Perched like royalty on their bright orange sunflower throne, Muffin, Val, and Joe are ready for action. Not to save the world, but to nap, purr, and look criminally adorable until someone falls in love.🧡

Together, they form the fluffiest action trio this side of Cattown. And while they don’t need to be adopted together, they wouldn’t mind having a fellow partner in (nonviolent, extremely snuggly) crime at home!

So if you’re ready for your life to be taken over by purring orange chaos in the best way, come meet the boys on the blossom. 🌻 They’re waiting.

At just 9 months old, Benji is the husky/pit hybrid equivalent of a confetti cannon—guaranteed to make a mess (of your heart). He’s the life of the party, the ruler of the play yard, and he’s never met a squeaky toy he didn’t try to destroy in under 30 seconds.

This boy is playful with a capital P, rambunctious with a capital R, and occasionally mouthy with a capital—okay, you get it. He’s looking for an active family who understands that “zoomies” are a lifestyle, not a phase.

Benji would absolutely thrive with a canine playmate who can keep up with his energetic antics. But we will warn you—two wild things are double the fun and double the trouble. Your throw pillows may not survive, but your laugh lines will thrive!

Still working on his basic manners, Benji could use a little structure, a lot of snacks, and someone who doesn’t mind being tackled with love.

If your idea of a perfect day includes hiking, playing tug-of-war, and ending it all with a slobbery kiss to the face, Benji’s your guy. Come meet him and prepare to fall for the floof-fueled mayhem.

🌻Meet Sunflower — a quiet, cozy-loving girl who was just another sweet but stressed face in a kennel… until someone said “I’ll foster her for the week.” That one small decision gave us a huge window into who she really is — something a shelter just can’t replicate!

Thanks to her incredible fosters, Chris & Kelly, here’s what we now know about Sunflower:

🐾 A+ car rider — cruised from Huntington to Fort Wayne like a seasoned road trip queen
🐾 LOVES being outside, dog beds, cozy blankets, and all things snugglable
🐾 Crate trained like a pro — used it calmly during the day and snored away at night
🐾 Obsessed with Milk Bone Soft & Chewy treats (half at a time, please — she’s a lady)
🐾 Respects other dogs and their routines
🐾 Enjoys walks, barely pulls, and is super responsive to “no”
🐾 Housebroken with zero accidents after day one — goes to the door to ask to be let out!
🐾 Loves belly rubs and gives the best kisses!
🐾 Prefers a peaceful home — no rambunctious kids, no ornery cats, no zooming velociraptors.
🐾 Quiet as can be. Didn’t bark, whine, or cry once.

✨All of this? Learned in just a few days of fostering. Shelters can offer many things — but homes offer insight, growth, and the kind of love that helps a dog like Sunflower shine.

HUGE THANK YOU TO CHRIS & KELLY FOR PROVIDING OUR GIRL WITH A WONDERFUL FOSTER HOME! You’re the real MVPs! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

If you’re interested in meeting Sunflower, please reach out to us and we will coordinate a date/time to have her back at the shelter!

*Sunflower is a 1-2 year old, medium sized, lab/hound mix(?)

📞✨In this week’s episode of “HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE” 😆

Our internet decided to pull a full-on vanishing act. And because we work in a delightful cinderblock fortress (aka: signal black hole), when the WiFi dies, so does our cell service. Calls drop faster than our hopes every time someone says “I’m just looking today.”

Your perpetually perky social media gal (👋 hi) was on phone duty when a call came through. I caught “dog” and “surrender” before the line dropped like a hot potato and went into SOS mode. I restarted the phone, hoped for a call back… but instead, BAM — a notification for a ✨1-star✨ Google review for “rudely hanging up” on him. All within minutes. NICE. 😒

Just a gentle PSA: bad reviews (especially over tech issues) don’t punish the Google gremlins — they punish our adoptable animals. People see a low rating and scroll right past when we have deserving pets who desperately need homes. We’re out here doing our best. Every day.

Anyway. To that guy? Here’s our girl Maylasia, sticking her tongue out at you 😝🐾

🐻 BEAR-Y IRRESISTIBLE 🐾
Listen, we don’t like to brag… unless we’re talking about Bear. And in that case? Buckle up.

This 3-year-old pittie mix is walking proof that tall, dark, and handsome isn’t just a dating app cliché. With one dazzling blue eye and a grin that says “treats or cuddles, your choice,” Bear is 60 pounds of pure razzle dazzle! 😍

He’s playful. He’s social. He’s got a little mischief in his step and a LOT of love in his heart. Need a dog who gets along with others? Done — he’s a playgroup pro and came from a home with canine buddies. Need a little entertainment? He’s got bouncy energy and a zest for life that’s almost as big as his head.

Bear’s still brushing up on his manners (he thinks “don’t jump” is a suggestion), so a home with older kids would be a solid match for his enthusiastic greetings. But give him some consistency and snacks, and he’ll be valedictorian of charm school in no time.

Ready to adopt a heartthrob with a wagging tail and zero personal space boundaries? Let us introduce you to Bear today!!

Why So Cirrius? 😏

Meet Cirrius—a 3-year-old Pomsky (that’s Pomeranian meets Husky, aka the lovechild of fluff and sass). He’s medium-sized, but don’t let that fool you—his personality is full-sized deluxe.

Cirrius is a social butterfly with dogs, a charmer with people, part Zoomies Olympic sprinter/part “I’m not moving unless the thermostat reads 68 degrees.” He’s playful, sweet, and very into personal climate control—he didn’t grow this majestic mane to sweat through summer like the rest of us peasants.

Yes, he could use a little manners polishing (he’s still working on his “no jumping on admirers” policy), but he’s eager to learn if snacks are involved.

So if you’re looking for a pup who’s Cirrius-ly adorable, dog-friendly, and ready to be your fluffy co-pilot through life—preferably with the AC on max—come meet him. 🩵
