Happy $5 Friday!
This past week we had an emergency intake of 10 kittens. The smallest kitten weighted in at 7 ounces, the largest a little over 1 pound.
These kittens require meals every few hours. We are quickly going through our supplies.
We desperately need liquid KMR (kitten milk replacement) and kitten pate can food.
It takes a lot of time and resources to get these mini panthers ready for the adoption floor.
They will receive 3 FVRCP vaccinations, a rabies vaccination, be tested for FeLV/FIV, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped and treated for fleas and parasites.
Without your support we could not help all these kittens.
Thank you from us and all the baby cats!

Changes in Dog Sheltering Contracts for towns of Barton and Spencer

Effective September 1, dogs running at large in the towns of Barton and Spencer will be transported to the Humane Society of Schuyler County for shelter and care, where they will be held for five days. In partnership with the Dog Control Officers serving each municipality, every reasonable effort will be made to reunite stray dogs with their owners. At the end of the five-day period any unclaimed dogs will become the property of the Humane Society. These contracts will be in effect through December 31, 2025.
Under New York State law all animals leaving the shelter must have a current rabies vaccination and a valid license. If an owner is unable to provide appropriate documentation the Humane Society will arrange for vaccination at the owner’s expense and complete a license application.
For residents in the Town of Barton please contact the Dog Control Officer at 607-237-1370 or contact the Humane Society at 607-594-2255 – extension 201.
For residents in the Town of Spencer, please contact the Dog Control Officer at 607-778-9103 or the Humane Society.
Residents for the town on Van Etten, will continue to contact Dog Control Officer, Dustin Rose at 607-342-1054 or the Humane Society at 607-594-2255 ext 201.
The Humane Society looks forward to continuing to advancing animal welfare and to support the pets and residents of our nearby communities.

Happy 5 dollar Friday!
You may remember that we posted this handsome guy on Saturday hoping to find an owner. No one claimed him. He came to us with a broken leg, a head tilt, and wasn’t eating. He is also blind.
He would not have survived outside much longer.
We had to take him to an emergency hospital where he spent 2 nights in intensive care. The cost of this emergency hospitalization was $3975.
At the hospital, they found that his body temperature and heart rate were low. He has a leg fracture, a BB in his leg, a severe middle/inner ear infection that was causing so much pain he was unable to eat and he’s blind. Thankfully, he was able to be stabilized and to start eating again without pain.
He’s not out of the woods, but he’s back at the shelter and doing better each day.
He will be on medication for 28 days. He is hanging out in a pet tent to give him room to be comfortable on a single level so he can rest for his leg to heal.
We named him Walter. He is an absolute love bug who cuddles in when you hold him and purrs up a storm. Your support helps us save cats like Walter.
If you prefer to give supplies towards his care, he is eating soft pate. He especially likes the Sheba brand.
Thank you. We couldn’t do what we do without your help.

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you—we really do have what look like twin mastiffs! While we don’t think they’re related, they’re about the same age and definitely turning heads.

🐾 Layla is the first to make her debut and is officially accepting applications! She’s a sweet young girl who enjoys the company of other dogs (we haven’t cat-tested her yet). Because she can get a little bouncy when she’s excited, she’d do best with older kids—or kids who bounce just as well as she does. We were told she is a boxer but there is definitely a little Mastiff DNA in there we think

✨ And here’s your sneak peek at Missy! She still needs to see the vet, get updated on her shots, and be spayed before she’s adoption-ready. She can’t take visitors until she has her shots but we just couldn’t resist showing off this adorable “twin set.” 😂
If you get to the last picture put in the comments which one it is 😉
