✨ New artwork alert! ✨
Our viewing room got a little brighter thanks to our amazing volunteer Kendall 🖍️💕

She created these sweet, simple pieces that capture each of our dogs in just a few words — and honestly, they’re perfect. From “best boy” to “loved” and everything in between, it’s such a special reminder of who these dogs truly are beyond their kennel doors.

We are so grateful for young volunteers like Kendall who share their time, creativity, and heart with our shelter animals. These little details mean more than you know. 🐶❤️

Be sure to check them out next time you’re visiting — we think they’ll make you smile just as much as they made us smile.

Thank you, Kendall! 🫶

Yesterday, our kennel was filled with wagging tails, happy barks, and pure excitement as our dogs received their Christmas presents. 🎄🐾

For dogs spending the holiday in a shelter, these moments mean everything. New toys to toss, treats to savor, and special gifts to call their own brought so much joy and comfort to a day that can otherwise feel long and lonely. Watching their faces light up reminded us just how powerful kindness can be.

We also want to give a heartfelt thank-you to our incredible staff who showed up on Christmas Day to care for these dogs, make the holiday special, and ensure every animal felt loved and safe. Your dedication, compassion, and selflessness do not go unnoticed.

And to everyone who donated gifts and made this possible—thank you for thinking of our dogs and filling their Christmas with love, joy, and hope. ❤️🐶🎁

💛 FIV Friday — Meet Ravioli 🍝

This big, beautiful girl with the biggest heart is Ravioli, one of our Pasta Party survivors — and one of our FIV-positive cats ready for a forever home.

Ravioli came from a situation that was overwhelming and heartbreaking, but despite everything she’s been through, she is still sweet, affectionate, and full of love. She might be a little shy when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take long for her to warm up — and once she does, she’ll happily soak up pets, belly rubs, and treats like the comfort queen she is. 💛

Let’s talk about FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) for a moment: • FIV is NOT contagious to people or other animals • It is primarily spread through deep bite wounds • Many FIV+ cats live long, happy, completely normal lives • FIV+ cats can thrive as only cats or with other friendly, non-aggressive cats

Ravioli isn’t “sick.”
She isn’t fragile.
She isn’t defined by a test result.

She’s a loving, gentle soul who deserves the same chance at a family as any other cat. 🏡

Ravioli is ready to leave her past behind and start a new chapter — one filled with soft beds, full bowls, and someone who sees her for the amazing cat she is.

If you’ve ever considered opening your heart to an FIV+ cat, let Ravioli show you just how much love they have to give. 🍝💛

🎄🐾 Merry Christmas from the Adoptable LCHS Pups! 🐾🎄

Our dogs wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! ❤️
They’re spending the holiday with our amazing staff and volunteers, making the best of Christmas Day in the kennel with extra love, attention, and treats. 🐶✨

While they’re still waiting for their forever homes, they’re surrounded by people who care deeply about them.

From all of us at LCHS — Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 🎅🎄

Of all the magic that happens during the holidays, this might be our favorite. 🎄🐾

This Christmas season, our animals were wrapped in love—not with ribbons and bows, but with toys to chase, treats to savor, cozy beds to curl up in, and comfort items that make shelter life a little brighter. Every single donated gift represents someone who thought about an animal they may never meet and chose kindness anyway.

For our dogs and cats spending the holidays in the shelter, these presents mean so much more than “stuff.” They mean enrichment, comfort, joy, and a reminder that they are not forgotten. They mean wagging tails, playful pounces, content purrs, and moments of happiness during a season that can otherwise be hard in a shelter.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you to everyone who donated, dropped off gifts, shopped wishlists, or simply shared our posts.
Your generosity truly changed the holiday season for the animals in our care.

Because of you, Christmas was full of warmth, love, and hope. ❤️🎁🐶🐱

🐾 London’s Doggy Daycation with Kim 🐾

One of the biggest reasons we love our Doggy Daycation Program is because it helps us learn who our dogs truly are outside of the shelter environment—and sweet London showed us just that.

London spent the day with Kim and enjoyed a quieter, calm outing that was perfect for her. She went for a walk, practiced sit and shake, and showed off her excellent leash manners—no pulling and no reacting to cars driving by. She was a little nervous in the car, but handled it well and just needed reassurance.

At home, London’s favorite things were snuggling on the bed, belly rubs, and napping close to her person. In fact, she went from cuddling on the bed to the living room… and then right back to the bed. 💕

London does best when given a little time to adjust to new surroundings. She wasn’t scared by new noises—she’d just perk up, listen, and settle right back in. Kim shared that once London knows you, she does very well, is incredibly sweet, and would make someone an amazing companion.

🐶 London will make someone a GREAT dog. She just needs patience, understanding, and a calm home to truly shine.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup who thrives on closeness and quiet moments, London may be the perfect match for you. 💛

It’s the little things like this that mean absolutely everything to us at LCHS.

This Christmas, Alfredo received gifts that weren’t just toys or supplies — they were reminders that he is seen, loved, and never alone. 🥹

Syringes for his meds. Soft toys to toss around. Cozy comforts to help him feel safe. And the most beautiful notes filled with love and encouragement for him and his foster mom, Jamie.

Alfredo has been through more in his short life than most could ever imagine. There were days we didn’t know if he would make it. And yet here he is — celebrating Christmas in a warm home, surrounded by kindness, healing, and hope.

And Alfredo isn’t the only one. Every single day, our dogs and cats are touched by moments like this — donations, notes, gifts, prayers, and support from people who may never meet them, but care deeply all the same.

To everyone who sends a toy, a supply, a message, or a simple “thinking of you” — please know this:
you are changing lives.
You are making the hard days lighter.
You are reminding our animals (and our humans) why this work matters so much.

Thank you for loving Alfredo.
Thank you for loving all of our animals.
And thank you for being part of their story — especially this Christmas. 🎄💛🐾

From all of us at LCHS… thank you.

🎄✨ Roy & Noel’s Christmas Eve Goodbye 🛷❄️

Well… it’s time. Roy’s sleigh is packed, Noel is buckled in, and the North Pole is calling. 🎅🛷

This Christmas season at Livingston County Humane Society was filled with wagging tails, happy purrs, warm beds, extra treats (don’t tell), and so much love.

Roy and Noel will be heading back to Santa with full reports — about the incredible staff who never stop caring, the volunteers and fosters who give so much of themselves, the adopters who open their hearts and homes, and the supporters who make everything possible. ❤️🐾

They’ll be sure Santa knows that the animals here are doing their very best and that this place is full of kindness, dedication, and quiet miracles every single day.

Thank you for letting Roy and Noel be part of the magic this season. 🎄✨

They’ll see you again next year… but their hearts will always stay here.

💔🫛 Green Beans Is Still Waiting… Quietly, Gently, Patiently 🫛💔

Green Beans doesn’t cry out for attention.
She doesn’t press herself to the front.
She doesn’t demand to be seen.
She waits.

This sweet girl has spent far too long in the shelter, watching the world from a safe distance. The noise, the constant movement, the unfamiliar smells — it’s all overwhelming for a cat who just wants peace. And the longer she stays, the harder it becomes for her to show who she truly is.

Green Beans has so much potential to be a loving, gentle companion — but the shelter environment makes it difficult for her to feel safe enough to bloom. She needs a quiet home, a patient heart, and someone who understands that love doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it tiptoes in.

She’s not broken.
She’s not unfriendly.
She’s just scared… and tired of waiting.

We know there’s a home out there where Green Beans could finally relax, exhale, and show her sweet side — a home where she wouldn’t have to hide anymore.

Please don’t let her be forgotten.
Please share her story.
Please help us find the calm, loving home she deserves.

Green Beans is still waiting… hoping someone sees her. 🖤🐾

✨ Thank You From All of Us at LCHS ✨

We just want to take a moment to say thank you—not only for the holiday treats and goodies for our dogs and cats, but also for thinking of our staff and volunteers.

The animals may be the heart of our shelter, but the people behind the scenes are the ones showing up every day—cleaning kennels, giving meds, offering comfort, and making sure every paw feels loved. Being reminded that they are appreciated too means more than we can ever put into words.

Your kindness brought smiles to wagging tails, happy purrs, and tired (but grateful) humans. Moments like these remind us how lucky we are to have such an incredible, compassionate community standing behind us.

From our furry residents and our two-legged caregivers—thank you for making this season a little brighter. 💙🐶🐱
