Rayne is wrapping up a hard day’s work as our Chief Toy Inspector! It’s not an easy job but someone’s gotta do it!

MAHS would like to send a huge thank you to Pet Supplies Plus - Marion, OH and Petco for their continued support of our shelter!

MAHS has cats available for adoption at both locations, and they have been so successful at finding homes for our residents these last few months! We’ve had several long term cats find homes through these two stores!

Currently housed at Petco are Kalie and Cuddles and currently housed at Pet Supplies Plus are Anna and Grace, which are pictured below!

Please help us thank these two companies for their partnerships in the comments!

Who remembers Samson?! A long term resident who was with us for 9 months and then got adopted on his birthday!

Well today we got to celebrate his birthday and his 1 year “adoptaversary”!!! He came to visit us and his mom and dad brought ice cream for all of his MAHS resident friends.

It’s moments like these that fill our hearts with so much joy. We LOVE seeing our residents after they have been adopted. Updates make our days so much brighter!

Thank you Shana & Chris for thinking of us and making our day. Thank you to everyone who has adopted a pet from MAHS and loved them!! We appreciate you more than you know 🩵🐾

We Need Your Help!!!

We are reaching out to the community asking for help! For the last two years we have been running over capacity in our free roaming cat room. We are looking for someone to build a “catio” for our feline friends. The room is situated in the perfect corner of the building where the cats could access the outside via the window.

If you are able to, please help!

Everybody meet Lexi, our newest obsession! Lexi is a one year old pittie mix who loves everything and everyone. She can be a little shy when you first meet her but once she gets comfortable she wants to be up in your lap! Lexi has a very nonchalant, relaxed personality and would thrive in a variety of homes!

We’re going to pretend that Rayne hasn’t been here for almost two years, and introduce her as a brand new arrival, so… INTRODUCING RAYNE!!! Rayne is the life of the party! She loves every person she meets and has a soft spot for children. Rayne is looking for a new home where she can be your one and only pet. She is just shy of four years old, which means she is past the obnoxious puppy phase and is ready to give you the best version of herself.

Rayne is an excellent listener and rarely judges and will never hesitate to watch a six hour long tv marathon with you. Her zodiac sign is Libra, and her Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff. Rayne is the friend you’ve always wanted, she’s just waiting for you to notice her. Now accepting applications!💞

Posting for Hardin County Dog Warden

Calling all hound lovers ❤️❤️ This Guy is around two years old and is very handsome. He was found as a stray in Hardin County. If you’re looking for a handsome hound to add to your family please reach out to our friends at the Hardin County Dog Warden

We forgot to tell Judie that shelter dogs are supposed to be sad! Look at that smile! Judie was found curled up on a stranger’s porch, emaciated to the point where she could hardly walk. Luckily, the person who found Judie was able to take her to the vet and get her nursed back to health but was unable to keep her permanently. This is where you come in! Judie is looking for a comfy new home where she will never again have to worry about going hungry. Judie is a coonhound, estimated at eight years old. She seems to get along well with other dogs and would likely do well with gentle children. She does need a home without cats. Please come meet Judie! 🩵

What’s that lump on Judie’s neck, you ask? To our knowledge, it is a large skin tag!

We’d like to introduce our newest MAHS resident who’s needing a little extra love and care at our shelter.

Meet Nala! Thanks to the 100 Women Who Care Marion, Ohio and their generous donation, we were able to immediately take Nala to the vet for the care she desperately needed. She came to us in an emaciated state and had severe infections in her back legs from laying in her uncleaned/wet crate for an extended period of time.

All negative comments will be deleted as we are just looking to uplift Nala and shine some light on the amazing group who helped us replenish our emergency medical fund budget! We are so grateful to have been able to take her to the vet without worrying about how to raise the funds.

Nala is NOT currently available for adoption! She is on a strict feeding plan to get her healthy again. We will keep everyone updated as she progresses!!

Zoey is wondering if anyone will ask to meet her today or if they’ll only come to meet the Husky puppies! We think Zoey is around two years old. She came to us from the Marion County Dog Pound where she was seized as a neglect case; she had been abandoned. Zoey is a volunteer favorite with her perky, playful attitude. She was briefly adopted by a family but was returned to our care for not getting along with the cats in the home. The adopters were very fond of Zoey and spoke very highly of her. Zoey has spent a combined 373 days in our shelter and we don’t understand why! We recently did a DNA test on Zoey and will include her results below and in the comments!

33% American Pitbull Terrier
17% Siberian Husky
14% American Staffordshire Terrier
13% Australian Shepherd
7% Mini Australian Shepherd
7% Alaskan Malamute
6% German Shepherd
1% Each Boxer, Chinook, American Bulldog

Happy Wet Nose Wednesday Everyone.

Pope here is letting everyone know that MAHS is out of bleach used to clean and do our laundry with as well as large trash bags that help keep everyone clean and happy.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

As always we are thankful for everyone in the community that helps us keep these babies clean healthy and taken care of.

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

How is Remi still here?! Remi is an eight year old German Shorthaired Pointer. He is looking for a home without children, and without hyper dogs, but we feel he would do fine with other mellow dogs in the home! Remi loves to play and has such a free spirit! He is cheerful and outgoing and hasn’t let the shelter life wear him down. Please help us find this happy old man his forever home!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

Pooh Bear has been here for 182 days which means he is officially a “longterm resident”. He is a 3 1/2 year old blanket hogging, slobbery kiss giving, sweetheart of a dog! We were told Pooh Bear loves children and enjoys playing with them. We were told he gets along well with other dogs but he will need a home without cats. Pooh Bear’s previous owner stated he is housebroken, and referred to him as “a big teddy bear”! He enjoys playing tug-of-war, and allegedly enjoys swimming but has yet to get in our kiddie pool! Pooh Bear was surrendered by his owner because he had a habit of sneaking out of the yard, and he will need some supervision while he’s outside, but don’t let this deter you! Pooh Bear is ready for any adventure you throw his way. If you’re looking for a dog who will go with the flow, come say hi!

As always, any kids or dogs in the home must come in for a meet and greet.

Do you have a rowdy dog at home? Does he or she need a playmate? Bring them to meet Pierre! Pierre is a fantastic dog. He exudes confidence and walks around the shelter like he owns the place. Pierre is the type of dog who wants to roughhouse, and that’s definitely not every dog’s style! He gets along well with kids and they will need to be prepared for his energy. He would absolutely thrive in an active family who will give him the love and exercise he so desperately craves. Our volunteers are obsessed with Pierre, and for good reason! Come say hi and fall in love with this boy!

This big meatball is Chase! Chase is plump and stocky, and has the biggest noggin in the whole building! He LOVES attention and curling up in your lap. He’s a little on the lazy side and would rather plop down in the grass with his toys but once you get him up and moving he loves to trot around the exercise yard. Chase is estimated around four years old and weighs 75-80 lbs. He can be a little nervous when you reach over his head and would need an adopter willing to work on boosting his confidence! Chase is “dog selective” and a meet and greet with any kids or dogs in the home is required prior to adoption to ensure he’s the right fit. Chase is a big lovebug and is ready for someone to take him home and spoil him rotten.
