Someone adopt this wonderful dog! Check out all our available animals at lawrencehumane.org/adopt! 💖

Guzma may share a name with a Pokémon villain, but the only thing he’s focused on catching is hugs. https://lawrenceks.news/3Xj9Tfs

We are open normal hours this week but closed to the public on Thanksgiving Day! Then open normal hours again the following day on Friday! We hope you’ll come visit us or check out all our available animals at lawrencehumane.org/adopt!

PS - If you are a Lawrence Humane Volunteer and would like to spend some time helping us care for the animals, we would love to have you join us on Thanksgiving! There will be two shifts available in Better Impact from 7am to 11am; and 3pm to 6pm. We are seeking support with cleaning both cat and dog kennels, laundry and dishes, making enrichment, running dogs to playgroups, supporting the clinic, and more!

Come join us at the shelter if you need to burn off some calories or maybe you just need a quick break from your relatives - we won't tell anyone! 😉

Our first-ever tattoo fundraiser with Black Chapel Tattoo was beyond all our wildest dreams! We raised $4,340, forty people were tattooed, and we had so much fun selling merch while folks waited in line!

We were blown away by all the interest and support. We cannot thank Jake, Erin, Morgan, and Peyton at Black Chapel enough for donating their time and talent to help raise money for the 7,000+ animals we care for every year! If you're looking for animal-loving tattoo artists who are guaranteed to do an incredible job, we highly recommend Black Chapel!

Can you please help? We are seeking a foster or adoptive home for this goofy fella named Goose! He is struggling at the shelter and desperately needs some time out of a kennel and in a home.

One of the reasons we have struggled to find any placement for him is because upon first being around him, he can be uninterested in people. And of course, we all love when a dog runs right up to us to say hello! But once you have won this goofy guy's trust, he really opens up and is quite sweet and affectionate! Goose is INCREDIBLY smart and once he knows you have treats and want to work with him, he really enjoys pleasing you! He is super food-motivated and loves a chew toy. He would do great with someone who is willing to spend time training and teaching him new tricks! He has spent some time in playgroups at the shelter but is choosy about who he likes so we suggest he go to a home with no other animals. When he's spending time in the open office with Lawrence Humane staff, he enjoys learning new tricks or playing tug, but can also be rather content hanging out/snoozin' by himself!

We have worked a lot with him on his leash skills and are proud to report he's improved greatly on his sniffaris and checking in with his handler to make sure he's being a good boy!

While we wish for a loving home for all the animals in our care, Goose is a very high-priority animal for us to see in a home. Fostering him would truly be lifesaving! If you think you would be a good foster or adopter for Goose, please email [email protected]! We are doing all we can for the deserving dogs in our care and we need your help spreading the word about Goose!
