Rainy Day Hide & Seek
Rainy day hide-n-seek! ☔️ A few rounds of this will make everyone cooped up inside feel so much happier and more calm! ☺️ If your dogs don’t know sit-stay yet, you can use a leash to hook up to a piece of furniture or a gate to keep them corralled while you go hide the treats. It’s always fun to teach your dogs new tricks and keep their noggins working hard. DM us or comment below if you have any questions about how to do this with your pup(s)! 😊
KU Men’s Basketball draws pets!
They can 🏀 ball 🏀 but can they draw?! We asked Kansas Men's Basketball to draw people’s pets for a donation to Lawrence Humane. Turns out a lot of our 2024 Men’s Basketball Team are quite the artists! And some of them should just stick to their talents on the court 😂 But we can promise you that they all tried really, really hard! They are competitive athletes after all 😉 AND they helped us raise $1,750 for the animals in our care - NEAT!! ❤️🏀💙We’ll share their final artwork in another post so you can see all their beautiful drawings! 👀

William’s Vet for a Day
It was an absolute joy to have William in the clinic to be a Vet for a Day! He was an amazing assistant and we had a great time coming up with superhero names for all the animals. We wrapped up the day with good ol Mickey D’s and a beg to grandpa for him to adopt Bat the Cat. We had so much fun - thanks for an awesome day in the clinic, Wills!
Now available at Lawrence Beer Company - our 2024 crowlers featuring the winners from our spring photo contest, Hootie & River Monster!!!

Cheers to another amazing year of collaboration, local beer, local artists, and supporting the 6,500+ animals that come through our doors! 🍻
Vet for a Day: Greta
Greta joined us in the clinic to learn all about what our medical team does at Lawrence Humane! There were a LOT of cats to care for this day and Greta did an excellent job ensuring they were treated with plenty of comfort and care. We enjoyed yummy pizza for lunch and we made sure to go say goodbye to the cat she named Greta Jr. before she “clocked out” for the day! 😻 Thanks for a wonderful day, Greta!

Stella Bunny: Songs that Shelter Pets Would Sing
Why has nobody adopted Stella Bunny?! 😢 She’s such a wonderful dog with a ton of love to give! Stella Bunny arrived at the shelter in November 2022 by way of shelter transfer. She came with 10 adorable 1-week-old puppies — all who were raised by their mom while in foster care. After her puppies were adopted, Stella Bunny was spayed and made available for adoption herself. She spent five months at the shelter and has been living in a wonderful foster home for the past YEAR!
Foster parent, Jen, says 5-year-old Stella Bunny has been an excellent houseguest. She is house trained, can be trusted to be left alone inside the house without fear of her getting into anything, and is a very calm companion. Stella Bunny prefers to be the only animal in a home and can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, so she needs time to warm up but once she knows you, she really shows off her absolutely wonderful personality! Jen has an Instagram account that features Stella Bunny, which can be found at https://www.instagram.com/adoptable.doggies?igsh=bWR4ZzlsYmFrZ2w4. An American bulldog, Stella Bunny is white with black spots and loves playing with toys, sunbathing and lounging. She’s a super chill dog. Learn more about Stella Bunny by emailing [email protected] !
Also - a shoutout to local music teacher, Emily B. for working with us to create this super fun series! We look forward to more parodies featuring adoptable animals at Lawrence Humane!
Sheeva had an awesome Mass Street Mutts adventure with volunteer, Valentine! 💘
Val had this to say about Sheeva: “Sheeva is an absolute love bug! She’s a little timid at first but relaxes with reassurance from a trusted human. We went downtown where she really opened up and loved receiving pets from people. Did I mention loose leash walking?! No harness or pulling from this laid-back potato. We left Mass street to find a quiet spot in South Park. As soon as I sat down, she laid down in my lap where she stayed for about an hour, where we enjoyed the birds chirping and the beautiful spring sights! Sheeva is truly a delight and would be a great fit in your home!”

Brought a lil ray of sunshine named Happy to the KSNT 27 News studio this morning! 😍
