If you have a lost pet, it is best to come to the shelter in person, rather than call. The Mission of the Panhandle Humane Society is to provide a nurturing and fear-free environment for the community and its pets in our care utilizing the Five Freedoms model.

🐾 Meet Bella Ray! 🐾
This sweet 4-year-old Heeler mix is ready to steal your heart! Bella Ray came to us from the Cheyenne Animal Shelter to help them make space, and we are so lucky to have her. Despite recently being attacked by another dog (her neck is still healing), Bella Ray hasn’t let that shake her loving spirit one bit. She's resilient, affectionate, and as sweet as they come. She does wonderfully with other dogs and is gentle with kids, making her a great companion for a family looking to add a furry best friend. Today, she went on her first walk at PHS and absolutely crushed it (thank you to our amazing dog walker for the pictures)! She loved exploring and getting attention along the way. Bella Ray is a total love bug who’s ready for her next chapter in a forever home filled with love, comfort, and maybe a cozy couch or two. Come meet Bella Ray at PHS 1-4PM and see just how special she is! Bella is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her vaccines, so she is ready to go home same day!

A friendly reminder about vaccines at PHS for strays, we try to explain at time of pickup which vaccines are given if your animal has been here. There is often time some confusion after the animals has left. At our facility, the health and safety of the animals in our care is our top priority. All stray dogs and cats that come into our building are vaccinated after 24 hours of arrival (puppies are evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on age and condition to prevent parvo).
🐶 Dogs receive the following vaccines:
✔ DAPP – Protects against:
• Canine Distemper Virus (CDV)
• Canine Adenovirus Type 1 & 2 (CAV1, CAV2)
• Canine Parainfluenza Virus (CPiV)
• Canine Parvovirus (CPV & CPV2c)
✔ Bordetella – Helps prevent kennel cough (Bordetella bronchiseptica)
🐱 Cats receive the Feline RCP+Ch vaccine, which protects against:
• Feline Herpesvirus-1 (FHV)
• Feline Calicivirus (FCV)
• Feline Panleukopenia (FPV)
• Chlamydia Psittaci
Please note: We do not administer rabies vaccines to stray animals. Rabies vaccinations can only be given by a licensed veterinarian, and we do not have one on staff.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep our community's animals safe and healthy! If your animal is needing vaccines please contact a vet.

She has been adopted!
All three of Taki’s brothers have been adopted. They’ve gone off to warm homes, soft beds, and loving arms… but sweet little Taki is still here, alone. This beautiful tortie kitten came to us feral, frightened of every sound, every touch, every shadow. But over time, she started to trust. She learned that hands could bring comfort. She learned that soft voices meant safety. She learned what love felt like. And now she wants it more than anything.
Taki waits by the door when we leave. She cries for attention. She looks around for her brothers, not understanding why they’re gone and she’s not. The loneliness in her little eyes is enough to break your heart. She’s not feral anymore. She’s ready. She just needs someone to see her. Someone to take a chance on a once-scared kitten who is begging for a second chance at life. Please consider adopting Taki, or at least sharing her story. She’s been brave for so long. It’s time for her to be loved.

They have been adopted!
🐭 Meet Pip(tan) & Alice(grey), the dynamic duo of cuteness! 🐭
These two little ladies are looking for a forever home where they can be loved, spoiled, and appreciated for the quirky, smart, affectionate pets they are. Pip and Alice are both female rats with big personalities in tiny bodies, they’re curious, social, and love spending time with their people. Alice is the more adventurous of the two, always ready to explore and investigate anything new. Pip is the snuggler, happiest when curled up in a hammock or getting gentle head scratches. They’ve got so much love to give and are strictly looking for a home as cherished companions, not snake snacks. Their adoption fee is $50, this includes their cage and belongings. Let us know if you’d like to meet them, these girls are ready to steal your heart (and maybe your snacks)! Come in 1-4PM and see them today!

Eris at this point is pretty much begging to be adopted. She has been here since April, and for weeks watched all her kitty companions flee. Eris has a typical shelter cat story. Found as a stray with her children (who have all been adopted), brought in, given all the love she deserves and now sits day by day waiting and losing hope. Tabby cats often get overlooked in the shelter, there is always one who "is so much prettier" and again another home she wasn't good enough for. Eris questions everyday what will make her good enough to be the next cat adopted from PHS. Look at her beautiful green eyes, perfect little plump pink nose, the cutest smile any cat could ever have and tell her why she is still here, waiting. Believe it or not cats do go kennel crazy just like dogs, she is about to that point. She is ready to be a house cat, ready to be loved by a human of her own, and ready to get out of her kennel permanently. If you believe this tabby tiger queen is what you have been missing, just stop in and give her a visit! We have two other tabbies who are looking for a home as well!

*DONATIONS NEEDED*
We have 56 kittens currently, some are on foster and the rest are waiting to hit their milestones so they can go up for adoption.
With this being said we are in DESPERATE need of wet cat food donations. These little guys eat and we go through multiple cans a day. Pate and shreds are what the current kittens seem to enjoy the most. We also could use some catnip as we have run low keeping the kittens entertained during the day.

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.
