Spud’s Happy Tail Update ✨

You may remember our recent post about a stray English Bulldog we named Spud. When he first came to us, we were told he was “aggressive.” The truth? He was just terrified. Once he realized he was safe, his real goofy, lovable personality came shining through. 🐾💙

Fast forward to today, and we couldn’t be happier to share an update from his new mom and dad. His new name is Benjamin. He's thriving in his new home and even creating art. 🎨

From scared and misunderstood to safe, loved, and thriving—this is why we do what we do. 💕

🌟 It’s Adopt a Less-Adoptable Pet Week! 🌟

Meet our Seinfeld litter — three special kittens who prove that different doesn’t mean less lovable. 💛

All three of these cuties were diagnosed with glaucoma, but that hasn’t slowed them down one bit! With daily medication, their eye pressure is under control, and they are thriving. They run, play, and cuddle just like any other kitten — they just need families who will love them exactly as they are.

✨ “Less-adoptable” doesn’t mean less deserving.

It simply means these sweet souls may need a little extra understanding, patience, or care. And in return, they’ll give you a lifetime of love and laughs.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to open your heart and home to an extra special cat — this is it. 🐾

🎉 Exciting news! 🎉
We are so grateful to share that the Union County Humane Society has received a spay-neuter grant from the Ohio Pet Fund! 🐾

The Ohio Pet Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been helping shelters like ours for 25 years. Their mission is to raise money for spay and neuter programs across Ohio and to support legislation that increases funding for animal rescue groups.

✨ The #1 way they do this is through the sale of specialty Ohio Pet License Plates! Every plate purchased helps provide life-changing care for pets in need. You can order yours today at your local BMV or online at oplates.com

This particular grant will go directly toward covering the cost of spays and neuters for adoptable animals in our care—helping them get one step closer to finding their forever homes. ❤️

Thank you, Ohio Pet Fund, for all you do for shelters and animals across our state! 🐶🐱

✨ Happy Update! ✨

Remember the cat who was abandoned at our door a few days ago? We have some wonderful news. He had actually been missing for a couple of weeks, and his family saw our post! 💌 They came today to pick him up and were overjoyed to have him back home.

The best part? He is now microchipped, so if he ever sneaks out again, he can be scanned and reunited much more quickly. 🐾

This is a great reminder that sometimes a simple post can be the key to reuniting lost pets with their humans. Thank you to everyone who shared his story—you helped make this reunion possible! ❤️

✨ Last week, we had the honor of attending the Beneficiary Awards! ✨

We’re thrilled to share that UCHS was recognized as the top beneficiary at the Marysville location thanks to YOUR support. ☕🐾

As many of you know, our kennels are in constant need of maintenance and updates. Together as a team, we’ve decided to put these funds toward replacing worn parts and making much-needed improvements—all to keep our animals safe, comfortable, and happy. ❤️

👉 Here’s how YOU can help keep the support coming:
1️⃣ Stop by any Richwood Bank location and pick up a coffee card (you don’t even have to bank there!).
2️⃣ Choose Union County Humane Society as your beneficiary.
3️⃣ Every time you enjoy a coffee, snow bank, smoothie, latte, or other tasty drink, you’re also helping our animals. 🐶🐱

So go ahead—get caffeinated, treat yourself, and know that every sip helps us fix our kennels and care for our shelter pets.

☕🐾 Thank you for choosing us—and thank you, Richwood Coffee, for fueling both our community and our mission!

✨The 3-3-3 Rule of Adoption✨

Bringing home a new rescue pet is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming for both you and your furry friend. 🐾 That’s where the 3-3-3 Rule comes in! It’s a simple way to understand the adjustment period many adopted animals go through:

🐕 3 Days – Your pet may feel overwhelmed, scared, or unsure of their new environment. They might sleep a lot, hide, or even test boundaries. Be patient and give them space.

🐾 3 Weeks – They start to settle in, learn your routine, and show more of their personality. You may notice both good behaviors and some challenges that need gentle training.

❤️ 3 Months – By now, your pet feels safe and secure. They truly start to feel like part of the family, with trust and love growing every day.

👉 Every animal adjusts at their own pace, but the 3-3-3 rule is a great guideline to remind us that patience and consistency are key.

📢 Thinking about adopting a new pet like Nala or Amelia? Remember—rescue pets need time, love, and understanding to become the very best version of themselves.

🚨 Abandoned Cat – Do You Recognize Him? 🚨

Yesterday morning (9/15), this sweet boy was abandoned at our shelter doors. He is neutered but does not have a microchip. He’s very friendly and clearly deserves better than being left behind. 💔

If you have any information about him, please call us at (937) 642-6716 or email us at [email protected]

➡️ Please remember: abandoning an animal is illegal under Ohio Revised Code §959.01. Not only does it put the animal in danger, but it’s also punishable by law.

Even when we are at full capacity, we will always work with you to find resources and solutions. There is always a better option than abandonment. 🐾❤️

Meet Marshmallow 🍫🔥the sweet, squishy pup who’s ready to melt your heart!

Though he was dealt a rough hand in life, this goofball is all about toasting up some fun and finding a home where he can be his goofy self.

Like a perfect s’more, Marshmallow’s heart is filled with sweetness, and he’s ready to share that love with a family who’ll appreciate his playful spirit. He’s the kind of dog who might be a little gooey around the edges, but once you give him a chance, he’ll be the most delightful treat you could ask for. So, grab a seat by the campfire—Marshmallow is ready to be the marshmallow to your s’more!
