🚨 Temporary Closure – Today Only 🚨

Last night, Huntington Humane assisted with a large scale hoarding case involving hundreds of animals across multiple species. The team was on scene until after 1:00 AM and more than 40 animals were impounded and brought into our care. We cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation for our staff, officers, board members, and support team who worked through an incredibly long, stressful day with professionalism, compassion, and unwavering focus: to care for animals who desperately needed it.

To allow our team the uninterrupted time needed to assess and care for these animals, we will be CLOSED to the public today.

➡️ Exception: Previously scheduled meet & greets for dogs that are being considered for adoption will still be honored.

We are hopeful to reopen Sunday and will provide updates as soon as that decision is confirmed. To protect an active legal investigation, we cannot share any details of the case at this time.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we do the hard, behind-the-scenes work this day requires 🩵

January Pet Food Pantry Schedule 🐾

As we head into the heart of winter, we want to remind our community that our pet food pantry is here weekly to help keep pets fed and families together.

Tomorrow we’ll be at United With Love of Huntington County from 10-1pm.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re also exploring the possibility of adding a third pantry location in one of our smaller municipalities to make access easier for folks who may not be able to travel.

So we want to hear from you…where do you see the need greatest?
📍 Andrews?
📍 Warren?
📍 Markle?

❄️ Last day. Waived fees. One very floofy reason to say yes. ❄️

Shirley the snow bunny is doing what she does best today: soaking up the winter air, fluff first, ears perked, waiting for her person. And she’s been waiting… a really long time. Longer than feels fair for a dog this smart, loyal, and full of heart.

Here’s the honest truth (because Shirley deserves that): she’s not everyone’s dog. She can’t live with cats or small critters. She has opinions on those creatures. And guess what? That doesn’t make her “difficult.” It makes a normal dog.

Just like people, dogs exist on a social spectrum. Not every dog wants to be best friends with everyone and everything and that’s actually normal. Preference is common. Love still fits inside that.

What Shirley is:
• wildly intelligent
• deeply loyal
• kid-approved
• a winter-loving, belly-rub fan
• a dog with purpose, presence, and a huge capacity for connection with her people

What she needs:
• a cat-free, critter-free home
• someone who values devotion
• a semi-active family or room to sniff and play outside

Today is the last day of waived adoption fees, and Shirley is quietly hoping you’re the one who finally chooses her.

Surely… there’s someone for Shirley. 🥺🩵

Meet ✨CASSY. THE. SASSY. ✨
Does she demand attention? Yes.
Is she rude about it? Also yes.
Does she immediately feel emotionally conflicted about getting said attention and in return decide to both purr AND hiss at you simultaneously? Yeah, that too.

Does she care how you feel about it? No.

Cassy is 18lbs of jelly belly. She is a landmass. When Cassy jumps on your lap, you stay there. For good.

Cassy is for the person who:
✔️ Thinks “a little unhinged” builds character
✔️ Understands love doesn’t always come wrapped in gratitude
✔️ Has a real sturdy couch for her to lounge on

👉🏻‼️ REMINDER: ALL ADOPTION FEES ON ADULT CATS AND DOGS ARE WAIVED UNTIL JAN 1! ‼️👈🏻

That means you can take home 18 lbs of sass, judgment, and psychological warfare for $0. Come meet Cassy the Sassy. 💁🏼‍♀️

🎄 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 🖤
