🥫🐾 Introducing: Cans for Cats & K9’s! 🐾🥫

We’re excited to announce a brand new way to support the animals at Livingston County Humane Society — our Cans for Cats & K9’s program in partnership with Pontiac Recycling!

You can now donate your pop cans, steel, aluminum, and pet food cans, and Pontiac Recycling will match 10% of the donation back to LCHS to help care for our dogs and cats. It’s an easy way to turn your recycling into lifesaving support! ♻️❤️

Huge thanks to the Pontiac LACC Graphic Design class for designing this awesome flyer to help us spread the word about this new program. We appreciate your creativity and support more than you know!

Start saving those cans — every little bit helps! 🐶🐱

🐷🐾 Everyone, meet Peppa! 🐾🐷

Yes, she really does snort like the pig she’s named after — and yes, it’s just as adorable and hilarious as you’re imagining. Peppa is about 3 years old and is basically a round little ball of love, energy, and personality.

She loves everything she meets — people, attention, fun, snacks, life. Peppa is the kind of dog who walks into a room and instantly makes it happier. She’s silly, social, and always ready to make you laugh with her piggy noises and joyful attitude.

Peppa is full of zoomies, cuddles, and good vibes. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep your days full of smiles, snorts, and unconditional love…
💗 Peppa is ready to meet you!

🐾 Murphy’s Doggy Daycation with Kim! 🐾

Our handsome boy Murphy got to enjoy a Daycation with Kim, and let’s just say—this guy is pure fun, curiosity, and puppy energy all wrapped into one adorable package.

Murphy did great in the car, happily looking out the window and even putting his paws up on the console to see everything. He needed a little help getting in the car, but once he was on the move, he was ready for adventure! 🚗

During his day out, Murphy went for a walk, played ball (his favorite!), and practiced sit—which he doesn’t quite know yet, but hey, that’s part of the puppy charm. 😄

Murphy walks very well on leash, did great meeting Pat, and was very curious about everything. Inside the house, he paced a bit—not from stress, but because he just wanted to explore and check everything out.

Kim said Murphy would adjust to almost any home—family, seniors, or singles—and once he’s comfortable, he’s a typical goofy puppy who might counter surf, grab shoes, or steal stuff just to get your attention. When he gets bored, he definitely lets you know… and would love toys and enrichment to keep his busy brain happy. 🧠🧸

Her final verdict?
🐶 “Very good dog. I honestly don’t understand why Murphy is still at the shelter.”

Murphy is fun, social, adaptable, and full of personality—and he’s more than ready for a home of his own.

🎤🐺 Roman — The Singing Sweetheart with the Biggest Heart 🐺🎤

If you’ve ever wanted a dog who comes with his own soundtrack, meet Roman! This handsome husky mix is famous for his adorable “songs” — whether he’s saying hello, asking for attention, or just narrating his day like the dramatic king he is.

But Roman isn’t all vocals — he’s also a champion snuggler. The second he gets close, he melts right into you, resting his head on your chest or leaning in for all the love he can get. He’s gentle, affectionate, and has the kind of goofy charm that makes every day feel brighter.

Playful, loving, and full of personality, Roman is the perfect mix of fun and cuddle. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will sing you songs and steal your heart…
💙 Roman is ready to meet you.

Butterbean isn’t just a soft, sweet girl — she’s also got a fun, happy personality that makes everyone around her smile. She absolutely loves people and wants to be right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. If you’re moving, she’s coming with you. If you’re sitting, she’s climbing up beside you.

She’s affectionate, social, and full of life. One minute she’s trotting around with a wagging tail, the next she’s leaning into you for pets or nudging you for attention like, “Hey, it’s my turn for love.”

Butterbean truly doesn’t know a stranger — every person is instantly her new best friend. She’s the kind of dog who makes you feel special the moment she meets you.

After bravely finishing heartworm treatment, she’s now healthy, happy, and ready to live her best life — full of adventures, cuddles, and all the attention she can get.

If you’re looking for a dog who is loving, joyful, and always excited to be part of your world…

💛 Butterbean is ready to steal your heart.

👻🐾 Meet Spook — The Only Ghost Who Will Steal Your Snacks 🐾👻

Despite his spooky name, Spook is not here to haunt your house…
He’s here to haunt your kitchen.

This lovable guy is a professional cuddler, full-time lap warmer, and part-time food detector. If you open a treat bag within a 3-mile radius, Spook will appear like he was summoned by dark magic.

Spook’s hobbies include:
👻 Sitting directly on you
👻 Purring like a tiny engine
👻 Staring at you until you share snacks
👻 Running to the food bowl like it owes him money

He’s goofy, affectionate, and has never met a lap he didn’t immediately claim as his own. If you’re looking for a cat who believes personal space is a myth and mealtime is a sacred event…

🎃 Spook is your guy.

Warning: adopting Spook may result in fewer snacks and more cuddles.

💛🐾 A Full-Circle Moment for Johnny 🐾💛

Some stories come back around in the most beautiful ways — and Johnny’s is one of them.

Back in August, Johnny arrived abandoned on our property with four other cats, including his close companion Rhythm. All five came to us scared, unsure, and relying on one another as they tried to understand what had just happened.

Over time, Rhythm found his forever home… and now, something incredibly special has happened for Johnny too. 🥹💛

One of our amazing familes that volunteer — the same family who recently adopted Rhythm — has sponsored Johnny’s adoption fee. The bond between these cats didn’t end when Rhythm left the shelter, and the love certainly didn’t either.

Johnny is still the shy, gentle soul we’ve watched grow braver every single day. He’s making progress at his own pace, learning that people can be kind and that safety is possible. With his adoption fee sponsored, one more barrier has been removed between Johnny and the quiet, patient home he deserves.

We are endlessly grateful for volunteers who don’t just help — but truly commit to our animals and their stories.

Johnny’s journey began with abandonment…
but it continues with compassion, connection, and hope.
Now all he needs is his forever home. 🖤🐾
