Her name was Rella — short for Cinderella.
But she wasn’t born into a fairytale.
No glass slippers. No ball. No castle.

Just cold concrete, a rusted chain, and days that stretched into nights with no soft place to lay her head.
Rella was a cattle dog mix — smart, loyal, full of heart — but the world hadn’t been kind to her.
She watched other dogs get chosen. She wagged her tail anyway.
She dreamed, quietly. Constantly.

All she ever wanted was her “ever after.”
Not a prince. Just a porch to lie on.
Not a palace. Just someone to love her like she mattered.

Rella never chased mice or danced in gowns, but she knew how to rescue broken hearts.
She never rode in a pumpkin carriage, but she could run like the wind, ears flying like magic.

And maybe, just maybe…
There was a little enchantment in the way her eyes lit up when someone finally knelt down and whispered,
"You’re coming home."

Because the truth is, not all Cinderellas wear ballgowns.
Some wear fur, carry scars, and walk on four tired feet.
And when they find their forever,
That is the most beautiful fairytale of all.
Come be Rella's fairytale home today that she has longed for!

Adoption Update for Daly (formerly Alice)
"I just wanted to share how wonderfully Daly is doing! Since bringing her home, she’s been absolutely amazing. She walks beautifully on a leash, gets along great with other dogs, and loves like no other. Thank you so much for the opportunity to adopt her! It’s incredible to see how much a shelter dog can blossom once they feel safe and loved." Words from her incredible owner!
Daly was brought in as a stray and no one ever came to claim her but now she’s truly living her best life, and we couldn’t be happier.
Shelter dogs have so much love to give, and Daly is proof of that.

🏡✨ 3 Amazing Dogs Looking for Their Forever Homes! ✨🐾
Meet our trio of lovable goofballs who are ready to wiggle their way into your heart (and probably onto your couch).
🐶 Oreo – 9-month-old Cattle Dog Mix
This sweet, shy boy is still figuring out the world but warms up with time and love. Oreo would thrive in a home with a confident dog buddy to show him the ropes and help bring him out of his shell. He's gentle, affectionate, and just wants to be loved. Bonus: those eyes will melt you. 🖤
🐕‍🦺 Rella – 1-year-old Cattle Dog Mix
Rella has the drive and energy of a caffeine-fueled squirrel in the best way. She's smart, high-energy, and needs an active home that can keep her brain and body busy. Agility? Herding balls in your backyard? Long hikes? She’s so in. If you’ve got the time and love for a working breed, Rella will be your ride-or-die adventure buddy. ⚡🐾
🐾 Chungalina – 4-year-old Pitty Princess
Chungalina may have 84 pounds of sass in her, but this chunky queen thinks she’s a lapdog. She loves to cuddle, play, and be part of the action. She’s looking for a home that can help her brush up on her manners and gently remind her that she’s not a 10lb lap baby. With a little guidance, she’ll be the perfect couch companion. 💕
🐕‍🦺🐕🐶 All three have been loving their playgroups and get along well with other pups. They’ve shown great social skills and enjoy romping around together!
💌 Interested in meeting Oreo, Rella, or Chungalina (or all three)? Send us a message, come in 1-4PM or fill out an adoption application today!
Let’s find these sweet souls the loving homes they deserve. ❤️

🎩🐾 Lenny the Lady Cat: Queen of the Cold Season 🐾🎩

The air’s gettin’ frosty, the skies turnin’ slate,
Lenny the cat said, “Cancel your date.”
She’s wrapped in a blanket, all snug in her throne,
And if you want cuddles? You best bring a scone. 😼☕

It’s cuddle-up season, she’s callin’ the shots—
No walks, no errands, just naps in warm spots.
She purrs like a queen with a smug little grin,
As she burrows herself in your laundry bin.

She was once a hunter, all stealth and all sass—
Now she just flops like a furry bean bag of class.
The thermostat drops? She don’t even blink.
She’s hoggin’ the heater and spillin’ your drink.

So get out the cocoa, forget goin’ out—
Lenny's declared what this season's about:
"No work, just warmth. No stress, just purrs.
Now hand me that blanket, and maybe yours."

👑❄️ Long live Lady Lenny — Duchess of Duvets,
Tyrant of Toes, Blanket Burrito Extraordinaire. ❄️👑

🌿 Meet Froggy & Toad – Little Adventurers in Fur Coats! 🌿
🐾 Breed: Siamese Mix
🎂 Age: 3 Months

Once upon a time in a cozy kitten kingdom, two tiny brothers named Froggy and Toad were born with soft Siamese coats, curious minds, and hearts full of hope.

These whimsical little explorers are the last of their litter, patiently waiting for their happily ever after while their siblings have already hopped off to forever homes. Shy at first, Froggy and Toad need just a sprinkle of patience and a dash of kindness to blossom into playful, loving companions.

🌟 Froggy is the brave one — always the first to pounce on a toy or peek around a new corner.
🌙 Toad prefers to observe first... then leap into action when no one's looking!

Together, they make the perfect team: soft purrs, silly antics, and synchronized zoomies. Whether they're chasing shadows or snuggling up like storybook characters, these two will fill your days with magic.

✨ Bonded brothers – adopt them together!
🎈 Full of kitten curiosity and goofy charm
🛡️ Neutered, vaccinated, and ready for the next chapter

Are you the hero their story has been waiting for?

Come meet Froggy and Toad – and let the fairy tale begin. 💕

A little bit about PHS

Panhandle Humane Society (PHS), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was founded by a group of concerned citizens on February 7, 1974, due to the objectionable state of the then city dog pound. On August 23, 1976, the first inter-local agreement was signed by very competitive entities on both sides of the river by the cities of: Gering, Scottsbluff, and the Village of Terrytown. Since our founding and then move to our current location in September 1977, and then expansion of the facility in April 1986, over 80,000 animals have been housed at the facility.

We are not a government agency, but a holding facility for stray animals in Scotts Bluff County. PHS is contracted by local cities and villages to care for their lost and abandoned animals and to help enforce their ordinances. As a humane society, we strive for strays to be reclaimed by their owners, the placement of all adoptable animals and would like all of them to live in loving homes.
