Meet R***r: part-time heartthrob, full-time attention hog. 🐶 This handsome devil is a certified people-lover, handling wild puppies like a saint and soaking up all the love you’ve got to give. But don’t let his chill vibes fool you—he’s still figuring out how to be confident in this big, unpredictable world (aren’t we all?).

R***r’s rules: dogs and cats are cool, sudden moves are a no-go (scary!), and he’d prefer kids over 12 who know the art of respecting boundaries. His dream job? Full-time couch companion and occasional walking buddy. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving sidekick with just a touch of bashful charm, R***r’s your guy.
Come meet him and give him his happily ever after—he’s ready to steal your heart (and your spot on the couch). 🐾

**TINKERBELL HAS BEEN ADOPTED!! 🙌🏻💛

🚨 EMERGENCY PLEA: TWO ANIMALS NEED HEROES NOW 🚨

Today, we’re sharing the stories of two precious souls in desperate need of saving. These are not just animals in need of homes—they are animals in crisis and cannot hold on much longer.

🐾 Henley:

Henley is a 7-year-old German Shepherd who is suffering deeply. The constant noise, confinement, and lack of mental stimulation have pushed her into extreme stress. She pants, paces, spins, and whines—she’s breaking down.

Henley is a bright, intelligent dog who craves a life filled with love, activity, and purpose. But being in a kennel—surrounded by dogs she does not like —is destroying her. Henley needs a home where she can be the ONLY pet, where she can have room to run, and someone who will give her the attention she deserves.

🐾 Tinkerbell:

Tinkerbell is a senior cat who has lost her will to live. For two months, she held onto hope, greeting staff and visitors with little chirps. But now? She’s given up. She spends her days face down in her litter box or bed.

Tinkerbell deserves to spend her golden years in a peaceful, loving home where she can receive affection at her own pace. She’s calm, low-energy, and gets along with animals who respect her space.

💔 Why We’re Pleading:

We are a humane society, and seeing these two deteriorate in front of us is devastating. This is not humane. It’s not what they deserve. They need help NOW.

If you have space in your heart and a suitable home for Henley or Tinkerbell, please come in today. We are begging for heroes to step forward.

Share this post. Tell your friends. Help us give these two a fighting second chance, please 🙏🏻

🥹🙌🏻 Today was a BEAUTIFUL day.
When Nova came into our care, she was a shadow of the dog she was meant to be—emaciated, frail, and broken from neglect. Confined to a crate for so long that painful pressure sores developed, her body condition was ruled a devastating 1.5 on a 10-point scale. She had been failed in every way.

But Nova’s story didn’t end in tragedy. Over nine weeks, she transformed. Through steady meals, tender care, and unwavering love, she gained weight, healed her wounds, and rediscovered her spirit. Day by day, she became the joyful, resilient dog we knew she could be.

And today, Nova’s story came full circle. The officer who helped us rescue her, who saw firsthand the suffering she endured, couldn’t forget her. Officer Wiseley not only saved Nova once—he saved her twice by giving her the ultimate gift: a forever home 😭🩵

Nova now has the life she deserves, filled with love, safety, and a best friend who truly understands how far she’s come.

We are deeply grateful to our law enforcement partners who stand beside us every day, proving that animal abuse has no place in Huntington County and ensuring justice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Nova’s journey is a powerful reminder that love and justice can triumph over even the darkest beginnings.
This is why we do what we do. ❤️ 🐶🏠

01/24/2025

💔 Adoptions have slowed to a crawl, but the animals keep coming—litters of tiny kittens, emaciated dogs who have known nothing but hunger, pups needing urgent surgeries, and even a sweet guinea pig who came in last night after being dumped in crate on side of Guilford Street to freeze. 😢

These precious souls haven’t given up hope. They’re holding on for their chance to feel safe, warm, and loved. But we can’t do it without you.

Please, be the hero they’re waiting for. Whether it’s a playful pup, a purring lap-cat, or that little guinea pig with the biggest heart, there’s a friend here who’s already dreaming of you.

We’re open today from 12–6 PM. Don’t wait. ❤️

🎤😺 Straight from the Late Night Lounge (aka our kitten room), introducing the comedy trio you didn’t know you needed: Fallon, Leno, and Kimmel!

🐾 Fallon (first photo): The wild card. He’ll trip over his own paws mid-chase but recover with a charm offensive of headbutts and belly flops.

🐾 Leno (2nd photo): The classic. Big personality, even bigger purr. He’s the kind of kitten who steals your chair and still makes you laugh about it.

🐾 Kimmel (3rd photo): The ringleader. Always ready with a snarky “meow” and a dramatic tail flip. He’s here to keep the audience (and the laser pointer) on their toes.

These tiny comedians are ready to take their show on the road… straight to your living room! They promise nightly entertainment, plenty of laughs, and just a little bit of chaos (because kittens 🤷🏼‍♀️) 🐱✨

01/22/2025

🚧 Pardon Our Dust! 🐾

We’re giving our dog kennels a little TLC today, so things are looking a bit… chaotic around here.
But don’t worry—beneath the mess are wagging tails, wet noses, and your future best friend!

We’re STILL OPEN and ready to help you find your furry soulmate. So come on in, dodge a dust pile or two, and leave with the only thing that really matters: a new best friend who doesn’t care about clutter! 🐶 See you soon! 🛠️🐾

01/22/2025

🟥👀 SHEPHERD LOVERS! If you’ve been dreaming of adding a loyal, smart, and endlessly entertaining companion to your life, we’ve got just the crew for you.

Meet the squad:

🐾 Nova (2 years, female):
This survivor has transformed from emaciated to extraordinary. Nova loves kids, other dogs, and turning your house into a home. But if you have a cat, Nova says, “Hard pass.”

🐾 Henley (7 years, female):
Henley is not okay, folks. Her energy, brains, and need for stimulation are no match for kennel life—she’s spinning in circles like a shepherd-powered tornado. No other pets for this queen, but she’s desperate for someone who can keep up with her zest for life. If you love puzzles (and dogs that solve them), she’s the one for you!

🐾 Wiley (10 months, male):
The puppy with potential! This handsome young guy knows how to “sit” but is still learning how to keep all four paws on the ground (puppy energy, you know?). He loves to play, is great with kiddos and other dogs, and is maybe okay with cats. TBD.

🐾 Stormy (2 years, female):
Stormy’s got the whole package: manners, recall, and a love for her fellow dogs. Cats? We’re not sure yet, but she’s ready to meet you and show off her skills.

💡 Why Adopt a Shepherd?
They’re loyal, smart, and, let’s face it, they’ll probably learn how to use your coffee maker if you ask them nicely. But they need a home to thrive—your home!

01/21/2025

🚨 Attention, Huntington County Cat Parents!

💡Did you know kittens can start making more kittens as early as 4 months old? And yes, they’ll mate with anyone—siblings, mom, dad, you name it. Cats have no shame in their game.

We still have spots open for February and March through our Prevent a Litter (PAL) Program—and it’s the best deal in town:

💲 Just $30 for spay/neuter AND a rabies vaccine! (Yep, you read that right.)

📅 AVAILABLE DATES:
• Feb 7: 4 Directions Mobile Vet – 🐱 3 spots for males left (Good work ladies, you’re sold out!)
• Feb 17: Humane Fort Wayne – 🐱 13 spots for any gender (The more, the meow-rier!)
• March 8: Public Vet at the Legion in Huntington – 🐱 40 spots available for any gender!

👉 If you live in Andrews, Huntington, Roanoke, or anywhere else in Huntington County, your cat qualifies. Indoor ✅ Outdoor ✅ Feral ✅

Sign up today at www.huntingtonhumane.org/prevent-a-litter-program before these spots vanish faster than your cat when it hears the word “vet.” 😉 Let’s stop the kitten chaos before it begins! 🐾

🥶🐧 This weather is for penguins, NOT pets!

If you see animals left outside in this Arctic chill for longer than a quick potty break, CALL DISPATCH IMMEDIATELY at 260-356-8316. Hypothermia can set in within minutes, and no fur coat is warm enough for this!

Some breeds may love the snow, but ALL animals can be at risk in extreme cold. Better safe than sorry—make the call and help us keep every pet safe and warm. ❄️❤️

01/20/2025

❄️ BRUTAL COLD GOT YOU DOWN? ❄️

Escape the chill by coming into the shelter today—we’ve got the hottest deal in town: a brand-new best friend! 🐾🔥

Big, small, fluffy, sleek—we’ve got furry friends in every shape, size, and color just waiting to warm your heart (and your lap). Bonus: they’ll never judge your thermostat settings or your winter layers. So, ditch the frostbite, come snuggle up, and find your perfect match! 🐶🐱

🐹 COURTESY POST 🐹

These little critters are in search of a new loving home and we’re hoping one of our followers can provide it! Their mama says
“The brown and orange one is McQueen. He is approx 1.5 years old and is the dad to the white and orange one, whose name is Kachow, and he is roughly 6/7 months old. They are a bonded pair that are held often by my teenager. They also really love green peppers and carrots for snacks.”

Heather’s contact info is 260-504-0283. Please TEXT as Heather has hearing loss. 🧡🤍

**THEY ARE NOT AT THE SHELTER NOR BEING ADOPTED THROUGH US**

Looking for a calm, laid-back companion who’s all heart and zero drama? Say hello to Nico! This sweet, 7-year-old guy might not be flashy, but he’s the kind of dog you can’t help but fall in love with.

✨ The Perfect Gentleman:
🐾 No barking in his kennel and excellent kennel manners.
🐾 No wild puppy chaos or high energy play.
🐾 Just a content, loyal buddy who loves to follow his person wherever they go.

Nico is knee-high, under 50 lbs, and 100% purebred good boy. While we’re still figuring out his breed mix (your guess is as good as ours!), one thing is clear—he’s a calm, loving soul who just needs a laid-back home to thrive.

💔 A Little Extra TLC Needed:
Nico has double cherry eye (the red tissue covering his eyes), which means he’ll need surgery to help him feel and see better. We’ve got that scheduled for him but it sure would be nice if he had a good home to recover in.

🐶 So far, Nico hasn’t shown any concerns with kids, dogs, or even cats—just more proof he’s as gentle and easygoing as they come.

If you’re ready to give Nico the love and care he deserves, he’ll repay you tenfold with unwavering loyalty, quiet companionship, and a heart of gold.

Meet Wiley, the 9-month-old German shepherd mix who’s rocking his best “mini coyote” look and a personality that’s ALL puppy energy. 🐾 This guy is playful, goofy, and ready to turn your living room into his personal playground.

Sure, Wiley might need some training and a few pointers on the whole “manners” thing (he’s still a baby, after all), but don’t let that fool you—he’s got the smarts of a shepherd and the heart of a best friend in the making. 🧠💡 He’s a quick learner and eager to please, especially if treats are involved.

🐕 Dog-friendly? Yep, he’s the life of the paw-ty.
🦴 Playful? Oh, he’ll keep you laughing for days.
🏆 Potential? Through the roof.

If you’re ready for a furry tornado of fun and love who just happens to look like he stepped out of the wild, Wiley is your guy. 🌟 (Bonus: You’ll have the coolest-looking dog in the neighborhood.) 🐕

From all of us at Huntington Humane, we extend our deepest condolences to Briar’s family and friends. He was a true friend to our shelter and our furry friends. His incredible kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for our shelter will never be forgotten. Briar went above and beyond for our furry friends, always tackling plumbing issues (and more) with a smile and a can-do spirit. 🤍🕊️

If you’d like to support his family during this difficult time, a GoFundMe has been set up to assist with funeral expenses. Please consider donating if you feel inclined: https://gofund.me/c9ab11e5

Clint is the ray of sunshine we all need on this cold, snowy days 💛 Are you ready for the ultimate package of love, laughs, and wag-tastic joy? Meet Clint—our certified heartthrob who’s been with us 45 days too long (seriously, what gives?).

This guy is a triple threat:
🐶 Dog-friendly – He’s the life of the pup party, making friends like it’s his full-time job.
🐱 Cat-approved – He’s cool with the kitties, as long as they can handle his playful energy.
👶 Kid-compatible – He’s a pro with older kiddos who can match his ready-to-go vibes.

Clint’s charm is undeniable. He’s goofy, fun, and will leave you grinning from ear to ear with his signature zoomies and wiggles. Oh, and let’s not forget his cuddle game—it’s next level.

He’s the joy bomb ready to detonate your dull days! 💣💛 So why hasn’t anyone scooped him up? We have no clue, but if you’re looking for a reason to smile every day, Clint’s waiting to bring the magic.

✨ Adopt Clint today, because life’s just better with a little wiggle in it. ✨

🎄🐾 A Whimsical Christmas at the Shelter While most folks were unwrapping presents and sipping cocoa, our amazing staff and volunteers were here, making sure our furry friends had the pawfect Christmas celebration—and let us tell you, it was nothing short of magical! ✨ 🎉 We kicked off the day with a homemade feast for the pups—pancakes, scrambled eggs, blueberries, apples, and a dollop of whipped cream. (Yes, it was as adorable as it sounds!) 🍳🥞🍎 🥓 Afternoon Delight: For snack time, our friends at Lengerich Meats made spirits and tails bright with delicious ham hocks that had the pups dancing in their kennels! The day was filled with wagging tails, belly rubs, and plenty of shelter family fun. And because no great day is complete without a little celebration… 🎂✨ A HUGE Happy Birthday to our very own Roberta Whitacre! 🎉 Roberta, we love you, appreciate you, and hope your day was as special as you make every day for our shelter family. 💕 Christmas at the shelter may be unconventional, but with all the silliness, laughter, and love, we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐶🐱 Here’s to more magical moments and second-family memories! ❤️

🎅🐾 Santa Paws came to town, and boy, did he deliver! Today, our pups had their own holiday celebration —stepping outside to find a magical mountain of brand-new toys, courtesy of the big guy himself! 🎁✨ Each dog got to pick their very own special gift, and let’s just say, the joy was off the leash! 🐕❤️ But while toys bring tail wags and smiles, the best holiday gift of all? A home to call their own. 🏠💖 We’re open one last day before the holiday—Monday, 12-6 PM. Come meet these good boys and girls and make their holiday dreams come true! 🎄🐶

Home Starts HERE!

We may be a small shelter, but our impact is MIGHTY 💪😻 Every year, nearly 2,000 animals come through our doors - each one derserving of love and care. 💥Here's what YOUR support helps us achieve: 🐶 We are a life saving shelter. Over 95% of dogs and 93% of cats have been saved through our support. Animals come to us in all conditions and many require life-saving measures- surgeries, rehabilitation, illness recovery, fostering, and more. We're in the trenches with them every step of the way. 🏠 Over 65% of all stray dogs are able to be reunited with their families. 😽 720 community cats in Huntington City have been spayed/neutered through our PAL program. 🍽 Thousands of pounds of free pet food have been distributed to our community. 🩺 Hundreds of pets have received low-cost vaccinations and microchips through our shelter and events. These animals are from right here, in OUR community and with YOUR HELP, we're able to provide the care they need. We're doing all of this with our original building from 1972 which was NEVER designed to meet the demands of today's shelter. While we can't change our building (right now 😉), we CAN change our kenneling system. New kennels will help us keep animals healthier and less stressed, both of which helps them find homes faster! 🎉🎉 DON'T FORGET: YOUR GIFT WILL BE DOUBLED! Today's the day to make the magic happen for our furry friends! 🎉🎉 SAVE LIVES NOW ➡️www.givebutter.com/huntingtonhumane

📱🐟 Kids and their screens these days, am I right? 🐟📱 Today’s kitty enrichment? A riveting game of “Tablet Fishies” 🐾—and let’s just say, our cats are hooked! 🎣 Watching those little paws swipe at the screen like pro gamers was a sight to behold. But don’t worry, we made sure to set screen time limits. 😉 So if you’re in need of a tablet buddy who also doubles as a top-tier snuggler, come meet these little digital dynamos. They’re paws-itively perfect in every way! 🐾

‼️‼️ PSA: SCAM ALERT ‼️‼️ We have been notified by multiple individuals today that someone with a 339 area code phone number is texting Huntington residents who have posted their missing pets and contact information to various Huntington lost/stolen pet Facebook sites. This individual is claiming to be an animal control officer who has found their pet. ❌ We do not have (nor have we ever employed) an “Officer VanHook” as a Huntington animal control officer. Our officers are Officer Holley & Officer Carpenter. ❌ Our animal control team does not text individuals when animals are found and all calls made by our officers come from 260 area code phone numbers. ❌ We NEVER ask for a pin/verification code. If you get one of these messages, please do not reply! Please contact us directly through Facebook, at the shelter (260-356-0355), or through police dispatch (260-356-8316) if you get a message like this about your missing pet.
