🎉🐾 MEET THE THREE GOOD BOYS OF PHS! 🐾🎉
These handsome fellas are all looking for their forever homes and trust us, you’re gonna want to scoop them up!
💙 Kevin – The Sheepdog-Doodle Wiggle Machine
If happiness had a mascot, it would absolutely be Kevin. This sheepdog/doodle mix has minimal to no shedding (yes, you read that right!) and maximum wiggles. His signature bangs, goofy charm, and all-around good-boy energy make him the kind of dog who turns dull days into joyful ones. Kevin = fun, fluff, and endless smiles.
❤️ Carl – The Senior Sweetheart
Carl has been with us for a month, and we can’t understand why—he’s perfection! This gentle old soul is the ultimate lover boy. He’s all about peaceful walks, warm naps, and giving his people that “you’re my whole world” kind of love. If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion to make your home feel even cozier, Carl is your guy.
💛 Koa – The Heeler Who Forgot He’s a Heeler
Meet Koa, the heeler who never got the memo. No herding. No nipping. No chaos. Just vibes. This sweet, slightly chunky king is laid-back, well-mannered, and has the softest heart. He brings all the best heeler traits with none of the “I must herd everything” energy. Basically? He’s a catch.
🐶✨ All three boys are ready for love, adventure, and a couch to call their own.
If one of these sweet faces made your heart do a little wiggle—just like Kevin—come meet them at PHS today from 1-4PM! Your new best friend is waiting. 💕

They were adopted together!
Meet Bonnie & Clyde — the purrfectly mismatched power couple you never knew you needed.

These two are a bonded pair, and trust us… Bonnie insists it stays that way.

⭐ Bonnie (Grey)

The brains. The sass. The attitude.
Bonnie is sweet, spicy, and absolutely NOT interested in sharing her space with any cat that isn’t named Clyde. She tolerates exactly one feline on Earth — and that’s her himbo soulmate.

⭐ Clyde (Black)

Ahhh, Clyde.
If there’s a brain cell between these two, Bonnie is definitely holding it. Clyde is a lovable, derpy little muffin who shows up to life every day with a smile, a blank stare, and enthusiasm. He adores Bonnie, people, food, sunbeams… and pretty much anything that doesn’t require serious thought.

🐾 Their Love Story

Bonnie leads the operation.
Clyde follows with blind confidence.
Together? An unstoppable duo of sweetness, silliness, and snuggles.

🌿 Indoor/Outdoor Approved

These two enjoy lounging inside and soaking up the outdoors. They’d love a safe home where they can do both — preferably with a yard Bonnie can survey like the queen she is while Clyde chases butterflies and forgets what he was doing.

💕 Adopt Bonnie & Clyde

If you're looking for a pair that will fill your home with laughs, love, and a little bit of chaos sprinkled with devotion — this iconic duo is your match.

Give them the forever home they deserve… together. Their adoption price together is $100, both being spayed and neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped and all the love they have for each other and you.

🐾 Meet Chloe – The Brindle Beauty with a Heart of Gold! 🐾

Say hello to Chloe, our 8-year-old Bully mix who’s got the perfect balance of life, love, and couch potato energy! Weighing in at a cozy 62 pounds, she’s just the right size to snuggle up beside you for movie nights.

Chloe may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you — she’s still full of personality and charm. Like many older pups, she does have a touch of arthritis in her back end, but with the help of a vet and a little TLC, it’s very manageable. All she needs is a loving home to help her live her golden years in comfort and style. 💛

Chloe’s adoption fee is $100, and she’s spayed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and ticks, dewormed, and ready to go home today!

Come meet this sweet, soulful girl and see why everyone who meets Chloe can’t help but fall in love.

🐾🍲 Meet the Soup Litter! 🍲🐾
Gumbo • Gazpacho • Miso • Cheddar Broccoli • Beef Stew • Tomato Bisque • Chicken Noodle • Minestrone
These eight Shepherd/Lab/Pitbull mix pups were brought to us on 11/3 — cold, starving, soaked, and covered in their own mess. They had been surviving in heartbreaking conditions, but since coming into our care, they’ve learned what it means to have full bellies, warm beds, and gentle hands. 💛
Each “Soup” has their own flavor — from spicy and playful to sweet and snuggly — and all of them are ready for their forever homes. They’ve come so far already, but they’ll need adopters who understand that love takes patience (and maybe a few extra baths).
👉 A few things to know before you fall in love:
These little noodles are not potty trained (yet!). They’re still learning what it means to be clean and cozy.
Every day, we clean kennels, give baths, and they somehow manage to decorate themselves in p**p again by morning. We can’t even be mad — they’re just learning what “home” feels like for the first time.
What they need most is a family with an open heart, a sense of humor, and a willingness to get a little messy on the way to “happily ever after.”
If you can see the beauty in a little chaos, if you believe every dog deserves a second chance, and if you’re ready to bring some warmth (and maybe a little soup) into your home — these pups are ready for you. 🍲❤️
📅 Available for adoption now, pending spay and neuter!
🐶 Breed: Shepherd/Lab/Pitbull mixes
🧡 Age: 12 weeks
Come meet the Soup Litter we promise they’ll warm your heart from the inside out.

Happy Veterans Day from all of us at PHS! We thank all of those who have served, for all you have given, for the time you sacrificed and can never get back. ❤️🤍💙

PHS participates in the Vets Gets Pets Program. This is available all of the time, not just on Veteran's Day, as long as there is funding. Veterans have to do a little bit of "leg work" before coming in to adopt. PHS's Adoption process does still apply.

Bifur and Ducky have been adopted!!!!

🐾🖤 Meet Our Black & White Beauties! 🖤🐾

Get ready for the most purrfectly dapper crew of tuxedo cats you've ever seen — six stunning black and white kitties, each with their own unique charm and story to tell!

✨ Theodore Tuxpaw – 5 years old
Theodore is the definition of mellow — sweet, affectionate, and happiest when he’s lounging beside his favorite humans. He’s past his wild kitten days and fully embraces the finer things in life: soft beds, chin scratches, and a good sunbeam nap.

🎀 Miss Clementine Curls & Miss Beatrix Buttons – 3 months old
Double the fun, double the cuteness! These two little ladies are full of purrs, cuddles, and endless playtime energy. Whether they’re chasing toys or snuggling in your lap, these sisters bring sunshine wherever they go.

💨 Bifur – 3 months old
If zoomies were an Olympic sport, Bifur would bring home the gold! This little whirlwind loves to run, play, and then melt right into your arms for sweet cuddles. He’s the perfect mix of chaos and charm.

🌙 Vega – 3 months old
A gentle soul with a shy heart. Vega is still learning that humans mean love and treats, and she’s making beautiful progress. Her soft, cautious cuddles will melt your heart as she grows into her confidence.

🦆 Ducky – 3 months old
This little survivor has been through so much! After a long stretch of recovery and care, Ducky is finally ready for her forever home. She’s playful, affectionate, and so deserving of a cozy lap and a family to love her endlessly.

💖 Whether you’re looking for a calm companion, a playful pair, or a brave little adventurer, we’ve got the tuxedo to match your lifestyle!

Come meet Theodore, Clementine, Beatrix, Bifur, Vega, and Ducky — six reasons black and white never goes out of style. 🖤🤍

🐾 Meet Koa! 🐾

Breed: Heeler Mix
Age: 4 years
Gender: Male (Neutered)

About Koa

Meet Koa, the handsome Heeler mix with a smile that could light up a room (and yes, he knows it). At 4 years old, Koa’s got that perfect balance of playful energy and chill vibes — once he trusts you, he’s all heart and all goof.

At first, Koa can be a little shy, like that guy at a party who’s not sure where the snacks are yet. But get him outside and hand him a ball, and suddenly he’s the life of the party! He LOVES to play fetch and will proudly flash his “pretty little teeth” grin to let you know just how happy he is.

He’s neutered and ready to go home today, so you can start enjoying his hilarious antics right away.

🏡 Ideal Home

Someone patient enough to help him open up

Loves fetch as much as Koa does (bonus points if you have a good throwing arm)

A calm home where his goofy side can shine

❤️ Why You’ll Love Him

Once Koa decides you’re his person, get ready for a lifetime of silly smiles, tail wags, and a fetch partner who never quits. He’s got a big heart, a bigger grin, and a personality that’s impossible not to love.

🐾 Meet Kevin...Again! 🐾

Breed: Sheepdog (Mixed Breed)
Age: 1.5 years
Gender: Male (Neutered)

About Kevin

Say hello to Kevin, the handsome, happy-go-lucky sheepdog with a big heart and even bigger energy! At just 1.5 years old, Kevin is full of life and ready to join an active family who can keep up with his playful spirit.

Kevin loves attention and thrives when he’s included in family adventures — whether that’s hiking, running, or playing fetch in the yard. He’s super smart, eager to please, and always up for learning new tricks (especially if treats are involved!).

Kevin would do best as the only dog in the home, as he prefers to soak up all the love for himself. However, he might be okay living with a submissive female dog or a playful puppy after a proper introduction.

He’s up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and ready to go home today — all he’s missing is you!

🏡 Ideal Home

Active family or individual

No dominant male dogs

Plenty of playtime and exercise

Someone who enjoys an affectionate, loyal companion

❤️ Ready to Meet Kevin?

If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic, and loving sheepdog to brighten your days, Kevin might just be your perfect match. Come meet him today and see why everyone here has fallen in love with his goofy grin and sweet personality!

💔 Meet Crooked Carl – The Sweet Soul Still Waiting 💔
Age: 9 years | Breed: Border Collie Mix

For three long weeks, Crooked Carl has been patiently waiting, watching families come and go, hoping someone will finally stop and see him. With his adorably crossed eyes and gentle heart, Carl is the kind of dog who wears his story on his face — perfectly imperfect, and full of love to give.

At 9 years old, this Border Collie mix still has a spark of youthful energy, but what he truly longs for is a quiet home and a family to call his own. He greets every visitor with a hopeful wag, as if asking, “Is it my turn yet?”

Carl may not be a puppy anymore, but he has a lifetime of loyalty packed into his sweet soul. He’s the kind of dog who will curl up beside you and make every day just a little brighter. After all he’s been through, he deserves to finally be chosen — not for how he looks, but for how big his heart is. ❤️

Come meet Crooked Carl, and give this deserving boy the happy ending he’s been waiting for.

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.
