📜👑From the Desk of Her Royal Wrinkliness, Princess:

I, Princess the Shar Pei, aged 11 years young, hereby declare my search for a suitable estate.

⚔️Applicant requirements:⚔️
👑 At least one premium couch or chaise lounge, upon which I shall recline.
👑 A heated blanket for chilly evenings (silk sheets optional, but encouraged).
👑 Television access to Animal Planet, so that I may stay informed on my subjects.
👑 Meals shall be delicious, frequent, and served with grace. If attempting to disguise medication within said meal…please note, I possess a PhD in Pill Detection and will politely return your efforts to sender.

I am a lady of refined taste and impeccable manners. I keep my kennel spotless, walk with elegance on a leash, and have demonstrated excellent etiquette when engaging in polite conversation through the fence with other canines. 🐶 I am open to cohabitating with another dog, provided they share my temperament being calm, respectful, and equally uninterested in chaos. I do not indulge in rough play. I socialize, not spar.

👧🏼🐱I’ve done well with kids (so long as they respect my throne) and can coexist with cats, provided they stay out of my dining room.

✨ I’m the full package: wise, gentle, loyal, and sophisticated with just the right amount of sass. I’ve earned the right to be spoiled, and I’m looking for someone who agrees.

If you believe your home is fit for royalty, present yourself at Huntington Humane for an audience with me.

Signed with grace and wrinkles,
Her Majesty, Princess the Shar Pei

✨ Meet Charlie… the kind of dog that makes your heart skip a beat. ✨🥹

Life threw Charlie a curveball when his parent got divorced and he lost his home, but he hasn’t let it dull his spark one bit. At just 2 years old and 45 lbs of pure Border Collie brilliance, this boy is ready to start fresh with a family who can keep up with both his mind and his energy.

Charlie is the full package: handsome, wicked smart, and endlessly loyal. He knows his basics: sit, shake, down, and rollover and he learns faster than most people can Google “how to teach my dog to…”
He’s house-trained, rides like a dream in the car, and has lived peacefully with other dogs (though his play style is more “track star” than “lap lounger,” so another active dog would be ideal).

He’d thrive with an adventurous family - the kind who loves hiking trails, weekend road trips, or just finding excuses to be outside. Charlie doesn’t want to watch life from a window; he wants to live it right beside you.

Border Collies aren’t just dogs; they’re partners…thinking, feeling, eager-to-please companions who shine when given purpose and connection. If you’ve ever dreamed of a dog who looks into your eyes and seems to get you, Charlie might just be that soul-level kind of dog. ❤️🐾

‼️✨Folks, we have full dog kennels, zero adoption fees, and several more scheduled to come in next week. So let’s get the show on the road and make some magic happen for these kiddos! ‼️✨

💡 Meet Dodger

Dodger is one of those dogs who makes an impression. He’s a Spaniel mix who is bright, motivated, and thrives when his mind is engaged. Training comes naturally to him. He loves to learn and loves even more when there’s a treat involved.

He’s also social with people, greeting staff and volunteers like old friends, and once he’s comfortable, he’ll lean in for affection and attention. He does have a bit of “stranger danger” at first with a few barks and some caution but give him thirty seconds, and he’ll decide you’re part of his circle.

Dodger would do best as an only dog. He prefers human company and doesn’t love sharing the spotlight. He just doesn’t understand doggy networking and has poor social skills. Because he’s strong, energetic, and eager, we recommend an active home that enjoys walks, yard time, and continued training.

He’s not a couch potato, but he is the kind of dog who will reward your effort tenfold. Smart, loyal, and full of potential! Dodger is waiting for someone who sees the same in him.

John Travolta Called. He Wants His Face Back. 😆
Someone mentioned Bruce looks like John Travolta. We laughed…..Then we looked.
Now we can’t unsee it. 🤣😆

He’s got the face, the swagger, and the “I absolutely know I’m stunning” energy.
He struts around the play yard like he’s in Saturday Night Fever: Shelter Edition. He’s all confidence and 100% cool. 😎

Dogs love him.
Kids adore him.
Volunteers swoon over him.

Bruce is handsome, charming, and fully aware of it. He’s the kind of dog that would check himself out in a car window, wink, and then pretend it was for you.

Come meet him before starts insisting on bottled water and a private suite up in here 😉

⚡️DON’T FORGET: ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED ON ALL ANIMALS THROUGH SUNDAY!

⚔️👑 Introducing Sir Didimus, the bouncy, affectionate nobleman of the shelter realm.

He greets all visitors personally (and sometimes by jumping directly into their arms…manners are a work in progress). He loves snacks, strolls, and short chariot rides (aka car trips).

He’s good with other dogs, great with people, and absolutely not amused by cats.
Sir Didimus would thrive in an active kingdom, perhaps one with big kids, plenty of yard space, and frequent snack breaks.
Long hikes? Nay. But a jog to the fridge? Absolutely.

Bow before his cuteness. 😍 Then adopt him before someone else bends the knee first.

**Sir Didimus is a 5 year old Bully mix**

**ADOPTED**

🔋⚡️ Ann-ergy Level: MAX POWER 🔋⚡️
Ann’s motto? If it’s not fun, we’re doing it wrong!

This 3-year-old American Bulldog (aka 65 lbs of wiggles and whoops) is bursting with personality and loves to play, run, and just generally be the life of the party! She’s silly, social, and perhaps just a touch ornery 😉

She’s best suited for homes with older kids or playful adults who can match her energy and other dogs who can roll with her joyful and free spirited chaos.

If you’re looking for a couch potato…she’s not it.
If you’re looking for a partner in crime with an unshakable zest for life, Ann’s your dream dog!

💔 Our hearts hurt for Henry and his papa.

After his story was shared far and wide, only two local people reached out. One never returned calls. The other had a meet & greet scheduled… but ultimately backed out before the meet.

Henry’s dad let himself hope again, that maybe his best friend would have a safe place to land until they could be reunited. And Henry had a shot at leaving the shelter.

But he’s still here.

Please don’t break his dad’s and our hearts again. f you’re truly serious about giving him a long-term foster, email [email protected].

This one matters more than you know. 🐾

💔Henry wasn’t surrendered because he wasn’t loved. Quite the opposite. He was deeply loved. His dad lost everything in a devastating house fire and had no choice but to move in with relatives who already had pets. With no way to keep Henry safe and cared for, he did the hardest thing imaginable: he asked us to help.

He tried to get Henry into temporary foster programs, but without a firm timeline for when he could take him back, he didn’t qualify. So here Henry sits, confused and heartbroken, waiting for a family who will see past his sadness and give him the stability he deserves.

Henry is 6–7 years old, house trained, and rides beautifully in the car. He adores toys, stuffies, and a cozy bed. With us, he’s been a little fearful understandably, after losing his home and family but his dad tells us he’s always been around kids. Because of his nerves in the shelter, we are recommending a home with older kids. He does well with respectful dogs and is frequently a part of our “calm kids” playgroup, but no cats, please.

Henry’s life has been turned upside down, and helping him find a new forever home is the best gift we could give both him and his dad. 🐾

**I AM HOME!**

‼️ MISSING DOG‼️
Cornbread (our shelter pup) was adopted this morning but when he got home, his adopter fell and Cornbread got away. They’re currently out searching for him but if you all could PLEASE HELP US FIND HIM, that would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Missing in warren around 500 block of E first street. He’s very friendly - just scared and won’t know his surroundings. He is wearing a Cubs collar and dragging a Colts leash.
