Supplying food, shelter, exercise, medical care, vaccinations, and love until our residents find their new forever home. For instance, the

Low-Income Spay/Neuter Voucher Program as well as the feline-specific SNAP program assists low-income individuals and families by easing the financial hardship of spaying or neutering their pets. The HSOTC also provides free humane education classes and presentations to the community in order to teach individuals and families how to become more responsible pet owners.

Happy New Year! 🎉 We hope you’re ringing in 2025 in with excitement for a fresh start in the year ahead.

A reminder about our holiday hours: we’re closing up early today (9:30am-noon), and tomorrow (New Year’s Day), we’ll be closed to the public. We resume normal hours on January 2nd, and we’re looking forward to seeing you next year!

It’s the Twelfth Day of Christmas, and we’ve loved sharing our shelter wishlist with you. But our final wish is the biggest one yet: A HOME FOR BENJI.

As our longest shelter resident (by a lot), Benji is more than ready to leave shelter life behind. We know there’s someone out there who’s perfect for him, and we’re determined to help him find them.

Here’s how you can help:
👍 Like and SHARE this post to spread the word.
🐾 Check out our last post(s) about Benji--drop a guess about his breed in the comments!
💬 Mention Benji to your friends and family who might be looking for a furry companion.

Let’s help Benji start the new year in a home of his own!

It’s the Eleventh Day of Christmas (aka Christmas Eve), and we’re down to one of our final Christmas wishes! 🎄🎁🐾

When volunteers take our dogs "off-campus" for a Dog Day Out, we love to deck them out in "Adopt Me" leashes or bandanas. These eye-catching accessories are a huge help in getting our pups noticed while they're out and about. A simple leash or bandana can make all the difference in catching someone's attention!

Some of our dogs, like sweet Benji (pictured), have been waiting far too long for their perfect person to come along. Can you help us stock up on "Adopt Me" gear this Christmas? It’s a small gift that can make a big impact for a dog who just needs to be seen. 👀

Check the comments for a link to the "Adopt Me" bandanas on our Amazon Wishlist!

Around here, we try to put the focus on who pets *are* rather than just what they look like. After all, breed guesses are just that—guesses! But our longest-resident pup Benji and his unique looks have been stirring curiousity for quite some time. 🧐

Where’d he get that teacup muzzle and tiny paws? The bouncy ears? The slightly curled-over tail?

While it won’t change anything we love about him, we thought it would be fun to know what breeds Benji sports in his lineage. If you’re not familiar with this boy, scroll back on our feed and look at some photos and videos of him. Then, drop your guess in the comments section: what breeds do you think Benji has in his DNA?!

Follow along and we’ll reveal the results of his genetic test soon—we think they’ll surprise you! 🧬🐾

When you're searching for your forever home, you definitely want to look (and smell!) your best.

Can you help our shelter pets put their best foot forward this holiday season with a donation of dog shampoo?

Ship it straight to our door, or come by in-person to drop it off! 🎁❤🐾

Flea medication helps keep our dogs and cats comfortable and healthy. Another small request with a big impact—every pet that comes through our doors needs flea medication, and that really adds up! Send us a box (or two!) and give the universally-loved gift of "no fleas" this holiday season!

As with all of our Christmas wishlist items, you can ship your donations straight to our door, or bring them in-person and say hello! 🎄❤🐾

❄️ We’ve got a lovely bunch of winter kittens here at the shelter. Adopting a kitten is a scientifically proven method to eliminate the winter blues—well, at least that’s what the kittens told us! 🐾😁 (Since these little girls have not yet had their spay appointments, they are available through our foster-to-adopt program, which enables adoptive pet parents to bring their new pet home as a foster placement *before* their spay/neuter surgery. We ensure they get their spay/neuter appointment, and as soon as it’s complete, we make the adoption official! This program is a way to help get pets out the door and into their new homes, even when they’re still waiting on necessary medical appointments that can otherwise delay the process.)

Benji, as you may know, has been waiting for his forever family for quite some time—502 days, to be exact. 🥵 In the meantime, he’s become a favorite among our volunteers and a frequent flyer in our Dog Day Out program, where he enjoys walks, hikes, and fun “field trips” away from the shelter on a regular basis—though certainly not as regular as he’d like! One of the most common compliments Benji receives? He’s a true gentleman on a leash and a joy to walk with—and he absolutely LOVES a good stroll. Looking for a walking buddy in the New Year? Benji would be glad to help you get your steps in! 🐕 Come meet him at the shelter on Tuesday and ring in the New Year with a New Best Friend. We’ll be open to the public on Tuesday (New Years Eve) from 9:30 until noon!

We thought this video of Coco at last month’s Wilco adoption event needed a permanent place in the feed. In case you were wondering, this lovely girl is STILL looking for a home! Despite immediately wooing almost everyone she met while at Wilco last month, she’s still here at the shelter, waiting for that forever thing. Want to see if she’s meant to be yours? Come meet Coco in person at the shelter, or at our next adoption event at Wilco on December 1st from 10am-2pm❤️

Today marks Benji’s one year anniversary of being at the shelter. While we’ve loved getting to spend time with this awesome guy, we think it’s about time for him to go home ❤️🐾🏡 Will you please like and share this video to spread the word about Benji? Let’s help him get seen. Interested in meeting him? Come by the shelter during open hours! We’ll introduce you and tell you all about him! Interested in Benji?

Jenkins and a Fluffy Bed: A Love Story❤️ Jenkins came to us after being picked up by animal control in Jamestown, where he was found wandering by himself. Unfortunately, he had no tags or microchip and no one ever came to claim him. We’re doing our best to keep him happy, but the shelter isn’t the best place for a sensitive senior like Jenkins. He longs for creature comforts like a fluffy, cozy bed and quiet place to take a nap, preferably at the feet of a person who adores him. He’s almost there—he just needs two things! First—some dental work. He has some bad teeth and needs some work done in order to be healthy and comfortable again. Next—a person to call his own ❤️ Senior dogs sometimes get overlooked at the shelter, but we know there’s someone out there for Jenkins that will appreciate his mellow demeanor and cherish his quiet companionship. Can you help us help Jenkins? Head over to our website (hsotc.org) and navigate to the donations page to make a contribution towards his dental care. If you donate, be sure to include him name in the “optional note” as you’re entering your info so we know it’s meant for him. Once his mouth is healthy again, then he needs all of our help to spread the word about him. Share this video, tell your friends, get him seen! Let’s help this sweetheart get his second chance at love and a life full of comfy beds ❤️

Did you know we’re open on Saturdays from 9:30am-3pm? 👀 Come by tomorrow and say hi! We have so many wonderful pets here, all patiently waiting for their forever homes. ❤️🐾
