♪ Little bunny Lulu hoppin through the shelter, picking out a family for Penelope and her ♪
Legend says Rabbits feet are good luck, well what about 4 of them? These fluffy bouncing babies are so ready to blow this popsicle stand, even though the girls that work here are just the coolest. These cool bunnies are beyond sweet, Lulu has a bit more personality than Penelope but man o man these girls are just the perfect addition to any family. Come meet these girls between 1 and 4 pm , give them a dandelion to munch on just be careful, they just might hop right into your heart!

These girls are bonded and must go together but Rabbits really do better with a sibling or a friend to be homed with.

Gorgeous gorgeous girls sit politely for photos and strike a pose as gorgeous as Phoenix has done here! Phoenix is the light of every room she walks into I mean literally her personality radiates pure joy! Phoenix is extremely great with other cats, she especially loves kittens that have lots of energy but she gets along and loves adult cats as well, but lets be honest she is still young at heart and thriving! Most days you will catch Phoenix in the midst of an infamous cat nap, playing around with her toys in her kennel, or asking for pets from any and every person that enters cat adoption she is a social butterfly for sure! If you are looking for some light in your life Phoenix is the girl for you come on in and meet her yourself!

She was adopted!
"I'm a little kitty soft and sweet, here are my puffy cheeks and here are my feet"! Spesspurrona would be my name... well that's the name the ladies here gave me and I am about 3 months old and ready to find a home that I can call my own with all the snacks and toys you can offer! I thoroughly enjoy playing with my kitty friends especially the ones my own age they are the best. We can play with toys together my favorite are feather toys, we can cuddle on the couch when were all tuckered out, and best for last we can eat snacks together (I mean how could you not share snacks while looking at that face?)! I can be a little shy when going into new places but if you give me a couple days to adjust I will surely be the light of your life come on in to PHS and take my word for it!

Ted is the kind of dog that loves adventure no matter the weather. Ted is roughly 4 years old and if he could tell you one thing about himself he would tell you he loves playing ball (as you can see in the second picture!) it is a fascination of his if he locks eyes with a ball in your hand he is at attention ready to go! Ted can’t wait to find a home where he can show them his silly goofy personality like his super cute smile when he gets excited that you will fall in love with the minute you see it, to him being the most loyal pup around making sure none of the squirrels or bunnies can get ya! Ted will be patiently chewing on his toys waiting for his forever home to come in and fall in love with him! (Trust me you’ll love him immediately.. I mean who wouldn’t?!)

Jessi and Potato had the best time playing in the snow this morning! They both would have rather experienced their first snow day of 2025 in a home.. As you can see Jessi enjoyed the snow a little more than Potato! They're both available for adoption and you can see more information on our website. You can call us between 1-4PM as well. If you're feeling brave enough to go out in the snow today, you could leave with one of these sweet babies. They're both hoping their next snow day will be in their own backyard with their new family!

When Spesspurrona arrived at PHS in November she weighed 1 pound, was feral and super sick. After lots of love and medication she became a whole new cat. She can still be shy at times but has blossomed into the sweetest kitten. She weighs almost 4 pounds now and has the cutest little round face. Spesspy is looking for a home who will go slow with her and show her there is love out there and not just at PHS. Come see this little chunker 1-4PM and we guarantee she will steal your heart.

Jessi is as sweet as they come! This girl is around 2 years old and the perfect family dog. She can be a little crazy but once she settles down she is a love bug. She loves going for walks and playing fetch in the yard. She does well with other dogs so that's a plus! If you're looking for a spunky and loving dog she is your girl. She has all the personality and is wanting to show it off to her new family. Come in 1-4PM and visit this sweet angel.

01/02/2025

With the New Year we wanted to put out a reminder how important rabies vaccines are! Cats and dogs should always be up to date on their rabies vaccine. This protects them from catching rabies and makes sure our community is safe. All the vets in the area are great at accommodating animals with aggression, fear or who just need a little extra love when going to the vet. Any animal who bites another animal or person is required by the state to go on a day 10 quarantine at the vet or our shelter if the rabies vaccine is not current. In 2024 we had 46 animals who were here for a bite quarantine. A rabies vaccine is cheaper than the 10-day quarantine, the quarantine can also be stressful on any animal. They’re away from their family and home, if they’re up to date on their vaccine then they get to stay home. If you recently got a puppy/kitten or your pet is in need of a rabies vaccine, contact a vet to schedule an appointment. Below is a link to our website with more in-depth discussion behind the rabies virus, vaccine and quarantine process. For any questions reach out to us at 308-635-0922 or any vet. https://panhandlehumanesociety.org/site/news/rabies-101-1

This bundle of fur is Ted! Ted is a border collie mix roughly about 4 years old! If Ted could talk he would tell you that he loves playing ball especially if you have one ball to throw and another in your hand waiting for when he comes back to throw that one! Ted is a little ball of fire he is ready to go go go when he is outside but as soon as you come inside he finds a nice comfy spot to lay and he will play with his toys or chew on a treat and then take a good ol nap so he can dream of chasing bunnies and squirrels! Ted does good with spayed/neutered dogs but due to dominance reasons he's not a huge fan of intact dogs but when he meets other dogs he looks to his owner to make decisions and move him away from situations which is very good! Ted is a bundle of love and fluff waiting for his forever home where he can run around and chase all the tennis balls his new home has to offer!

Videos

Penelope and Clarabell got some much needed play date time yesterday. These two girls both were brought in as strays and unfortunately like many, their owners didn't want to bail them out. These girls were brought in 3 days apart and have bonded over being kennel neighbors during their stay here. They go on walks together in the morning, get play dates in the yard and are so excited when they see each other. Over the last month of them being here we have learned their fun personalities and wonder why they're still here. They love other dogs, every person they meet and especially outside time playing fetch. These sweethearts are looking for someone who will give them all the love they need and deserve. They may be a little crazy and jump up when they first meet with you, but it's so hard for them to contain their excitement. Its very heart breaking for all of us here at PHS (and i'm sure for the girls) when people come in meet with them and then another week goes by that they haven't been adopted. We're hopeful with this fun video of them being silly that this will finally be their time to shine! For more info visit our website of give us a call 1-4PM 308-635-0922. https://panhandlehumanesociety.org/site/adopt/dogs

You can hear just how loud Patricks purrs are from listening to this video and they just warm my heart as soon as I hear them each morning. Patrick is a senior kitty at almost 9 years old but that doesn't stop him from being as spunky as a kitten, Patrick enjoys spending his off time playing in heaps of catnip that's his favorite past time hands down!

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.
