We have a very VERY cute young pup named Groot that we would love to place in a foster (or forever!) home!!!

Groot is a sweet boy who would be great with children, has lived with other cats and dogs, and is mostly potty trained. Groot is a lovebug and a goofball with a moderate play style with other dogs. Here's what his previous foster family had to say about this sweet pea: "He loves fruits and vegetables, is generally calm and docile. He needs lots of repetitive opportunities to learn a command. He loves to cuddle and is wonderful with kids, other dogs, and cats!!"

The shelter has been a loud and scary place for Groot so we'd love to find him a spot to crash as soon as possible! If you're interested in learning more about Groot, please email [email protected] for temporary placement and [email protected] if you'd like to adopt him! 🤩

MEOW! All of our kittens (2-5 months old) are BOGO right now! That means that you can adopt two kittens for the price of one! We know that might sound crazy to some but having two kittens is SO much easier than just one - trust us!

And if kittens aren't your jam, we've got a special for adult cats too! Adoption fees for adult cats (6 months +) are HALF PRICE! All of these fabulous felines are already vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. And this special goes all weekend long - what a deal!

This adoption special extends to ALL Lawrence Humane cats - that means ones at the shelter AND the ones at Petco, Petsmart on Iowa St, Petsmart on Bauer Farm Rd, and Espurresso Cat Cafe! Who's ready to bring home some feline love?! 😻

Are you looking for some pint sized love in your life? 💕 7 month old Junie is a petite gal who is BIG on affection and snuggles! Junie is currently in a foster home with kids and another dog, and does great with both. Her foster reports that she's got potty training 99% down, sleeps through the night in her kennel, and overall is an excellent houseguest! Junie is already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. And don't forget - right now all dogs 25 lbs + (that includes Junie!) are only $25! 🤩

If you'd like to meet Junie, email [email protected] or call us at 785-843-6835. And check out all of our available animals at https://lawrencehumane.org/adopt/

Athena Bambina is simply the loveliest, chillest dog and very much deserves to spend her golden years in a home rather than in a shelter kennel. Read all about her and then come meet her! We open at 12pm and Athena Bambina will be ready to greet you!

📰 Thank you to the The Lawrence Times for featuring Athena Bambina today and providing this new opportunity for us to showcase the wonderful dogs at the shelter!

The first Lawrence Humane Society Pet of the Week is Athena Bambina, an 8-year-old female pit bull who would be a great first dog or a fantastic addition to a family with kids.

✨Mass Street Mutts Adoption Story✨

Kate and her kids decided to take a pup out for a Mass Street Mutts adventure and were lucky enough to hang out with good boy Bruno for the day!

They had so much fun with him that they were considering fostering Bruno or even adopting him, but decided they would sleep on it before making that decision. When they went to check out the website a few days later, they discovered that Bruno had been adopted.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?!), that home didn't work out and Bruno was returned to the shelter a few days later. Once Kate and her family learned Bruno was back at the shelter, they didn't hesitate to come right in and sign the adoption contract!

Here's a little update about Bruno with his new loving family:
"Just wanted to give you an update about sweet Bruno. He has been adjusting so well with us. I think the CBD helps tremendously with his separation anxiety. Also having Kevin (our other dog) probably helps as well. He does excellent in his kennel when we are gone. He is also so good with the daycare kiddos. He is very calm around them. He had a toddler accidentally fall on him and he did not react at all. We are so in love and incredibly grateful to have added him to our family. We really do believe it was fate it didn’t work out with the previous owner. Thanks for all you guys do!”
