TAILS OF SUCCESS!
GUYS!! IT HAPPENED!!!
Tiger, our PREVIOUS longest staying resident, finally found his forever family after being here for 192 DAYS.
After being on his bestest behavior, working on his manners all the time, patiently waiting while all of the other pups around him found their place - he finally met the Carr family!
These guys were SO eager to meet him, and he was just as excited to meet them, too.
They got to know each other for awhile, hung out while he showed them just how good of a boy he is, gave them alllll of the hugs and before long, he absolutely stole their hearts.
They all knew it was meant to be, and we were soon doing adoption paperwork so they could call him theirs officially! He was even so excited to skedaddle that a goodbye photo was almost out of the picture - he was ready to see his new home and spend his time loving on his new family.
We have so much gratitude for the Carr family for taking our big man home, and we know he is going to thrive with his new humans. He'll get all of the snuggles, all of the playtime, and all of the love - we couldn't ask for better.
This was an amazing Tail of Success, and thankful doesn't even begin to explain our feelings. Carr family - you guys are amazing and exactly what Tiger needed.

What's better than having four legs?
Having three - Zahara says so!! (We're inclined to believe her as we've seen her run, girl is quick.)
Meet Zahara, our current favorite tripawd resident! She's here to let you guys know that NOTHING can slow her down - including her lack of a rear leg.
This gal is a six year old husky, and we're in love with her happy-go-lucky attitude and constant perseverance to be the brightest beam of sunshine everywhere she goes.
This special girl doesn't think there's a single difference between her and any other pup - she is still more than eager to go out for playgroup, rough house with her pupper pals, take a dip in the pool, and run for hours. And honestly, if we didn't look /too/ closely we wouldn't think she was any different either - she's 100% goofy girl and fits in perfectly with any dog pack you put her in.
Not only is this gal super dog social, she also LOVES humans and is happy to snuggle up on the couch with you anytime. AND she's house trained and crate trained - Talk about paw-fect!
If you're interested in this beautiful tripawd girl, check her out here -

WE LOVE HANK!
How could you NOT love Hank??
Just look at him!
We've never met such an affectionate little ham. This three year old, biscuit making machine is a true LOVEBUG!
He's a sucker for any sort of physical affection and a good cat tree. He loves to be the center of attention, and will make sure you're aware of his presence with his constant requests for chin rubs.
He's all around the purr-fect boy and you should come check him out today! Like, right now!!
Here's more about this baby man -

SNUGGLE CUDDLE DAY: The fine folks at Keizer Refrigeration invited us to their staff appreciation party. They served hotdogs, chips, and delicious cookies to their hard-working crew. We hate to break the news to them- there was only one hotdog at that party and his name was Bosley (Okay, he thought so anyway). It was a great time spent with some very amazing people! Kelly, Patty, and of course our critters had a wonderful time. We could never say Thank you enough for your kind, wonderful, and generous donation- it means the world to us and the pets in need!

TAILS OF SUCCESS!
Aldo was a great dog, but a big dog who had quite a bit of energy. He had been here previously, and was returned because the owners thought he needed a bit more room to run and be the goofy boy he naturally is.
When he came back, he was here for a month. Watching, waiting, ready to meet anyone that would look his way. He had a couple of adoption prospects, but they just didn't work out.
Until he met Cindy!
Cindy was looking for a dog that would fit her lifestyle. Then she met Aldo and the rest was history.
Cindy knew that Aldo was the pup for her, and after meeting him she decided to seal the deal and adopt our big, fluffy man.
It was a paw-fect match for everyone all the way around. Not only did Cindy have the biggest smile on her face when walking out with her new family member, so did Aldo. So did we.
We are so grateful to Cindy for taking this sweet boy home, ready to give him whatever he needs to flourish with her. And we're absolutely positive he's flourishing now. As sad as we get seeing our favorite animals leave the shelter, we are always SO happy seeing them get the home that they have so desperately needed.
We can't wait to see what the future holds for Cindy and Aldo, and we're hoping for some future updates to see how this guy is doing. But for now, enjoy this picture of Aldo finally finding his forever!
If you're interested in being the change in an animal's life, consider adopting. If you're considering adoption, check out our page here to see what sweet souls we have waiting for you -

HELLO HONEY BUNNY!
Literally.
Meet Honey, the bunny. With his velvety soft-fur, curious personality, and adoration for pets, this dude is sure to make you fall in love.
Honey loves fresh fruits and veggies and exploring in every little nook and crevice. He would also probably benefit from some outlets most bunnies enjoy, like little obstacle courses or having tunnels to run around in.
If you're looking for a new small animal bestie for your family, this guy is looking for a family to hippity-hop into their hearts and home! What a perfect match!

We've talked about Gracy before, and we're gonna talk about her again, gosh darn it. We'll talk about her until she goes home!!
Gracy is currently our second longest staying resident (Tiger being the first right now) and she's been here for approximately three months.
"BUT WHY?" You may ask. We are also asking the same thing.
This gal is a beam of sunshine, her smile is contagious and is sure to brighten anybody's day. Seriously, just look at it. That's just her face 24/7. Have you ever seen anything so sweet? And the bleps?? Are you kidding me?
This girl is social, treat-motivated, oh-so smart, beautiful, and as devoted as a canine companion could be.
She is truly as paw-fect as a dog can be, and YOU should come check her out. She does not deserve to be here for another minute, let alone another month.
Check Gracy out here -

UDPATE! Elsa was ADOPTED!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT SUNDAY!
This is Elsa. Elsa is an eleven year old Beagle who is certainly large and in charge.
This sausage-shaped little chickadee is as sweet as can be! She loves everyone, no matter their shape or size, and other animals are no exception to that.
With this gal being in her golden years, she appreciates the more simple things in life. Things like cuddles on her person's lap, verrrryyy long naps, and - if you can't tell - tasty treats.
Although she does love a good treat, she is a bit more on the plump side, so she would really benefit from a home where she can have a steady diet, and maybe a couple of walks to help shed some of that chunk off. All we want for miss Elsa is a happy, healthy life and her losing a couple of pounds would definitely help with that.
Elsa is a gentle soul and isn't about a bunch of commotion, so a place that is a bit more laid-back with some animal friends that are just as chill as her would be ideal.
If you're looking for a soft, tender, well-fed Beagle named Elsa who is ready to retire in her forever home, check her out now -

PLAYFUL PRINCESS!
Princess, who is so aptly named (other name considerations - Queen, Baby Angel, Royalty, Your Highness), is here and ready to bless you all with her presence.
This beautiful three year old gal with eyes that are sure to capture your heart is ready to rule over her forever home!
Princess is a catnip queen, and if she can bunny kick off of toy filled with catnip, even better.
We've noticed that Princess has a resting grump face, but don't let her little >:( face fool you, she is a complete sweetheart and loves any affection or adoration you desire to shower upon her. And she is more than happy to return the love!
Princess would prefer to be the queen of the castle, and would flourish in a home with no other fur-siblings. Human siblings, though? She's allllll about the human siblings. She would love a kiddo to play with, especially if they're down to offer her a string toy for her to chase after.

TAILS OF SUCCESS!
Lady, like all young Malinois', was an energetic gal who needed a home that was going to allow her to be her true Malinois self. You know, someone who would embrace the running, the jumping, the little bit of stubbornness, and her eagerness to learn.
In came the Wills family, ready to take this girl on and love her through everything. And love her they absolutely do!
We recently got the pleasure of an update of Ms. Lady almost a year after she found her forever home with the Wills family.
This is what the Wills family has to share with us! -

"Hey, I am reaching out to you guys. We had purchased a Malinois about a year ago from you. And I would like to say thank you for all you do she has been one amazing dog. She has come a long ways since we brought her home.

I don’t know if you remember at all, I am sure you see alot of animals all of the time but her name was lady girl. She currently walks by my side with out a leash and when I ride my bike she runs by my side with out a leash she is a very quick learner. I wouldn’t trade her for the world. Amazing dog. And thank you for the opportunity."

We LOVE to hear about our alumni flourishing in their forever homes. Thank you to the Wills family for taking this girl in with open arms and giving her exactly what she needed in her life - patience, exercise, and most importantly, love! It looks like she's truly thriving and we couldn't be more happy.

If you have a tails of success story you'd like to share, reach out to us on Facebook messenger! If you want to adopt an animal so you can be our next tails of success story, check out our website or stop on down and fall in love! -

TO BE LOVED, IS TO BE CHANGED
And Amora is living proof of that.
This three year old girl came to us after being hit by a car. She couldn't walk. We were not expecting an amazing outcome.
Siouxland Animal Hospital got her in immediately and got to work on helping this angel.
She ended up having a bruised pelvis, which was causing immobility and a lot of pain for her. With the muffins she made, you would've never guessed how much pain she was in.
Amora has been an absolute fighter. She has regained almost full mobility, her wounds are almost completely healed, and she's almost ready to find her forever home.
And now, we are looking for donations to aid with the accumulation of bills that we recieved after having this girl saved.
Between x-rays, staples, medications, multiple exams, and a spay, our current bill for this sweet girl is $525. This is a small price to pay to ensure this girl gets to live a happy, normal life.
If you could find it in your heart to donate, anything TRULY helps and we would be so, so appreciative. So would Amora.
In a couple of days, Amora will be ready for adoption. If you're interested in taking this sweet soul home, keep an eye on our website or give us a call to find out more information.
We are so fortunate to be able to have given this girl her second chance at life. She has been so sweet from the start, but now her personality has really come out.
Amora, you are loved.

MEET CHIQUIS!
Chiquis is a super senior looking for a special home!
This eleven year old queen came into us looking a bit of a mess. She had major hair loss along her back and backside, but was in very high spirits.
We got her into the veterinarian and it was determined she has some pretty severe food allergies that was causing atopic dermatitis.
We quickly got to work in helping this girl, and after about a month of recuperating with Malaseb baths, Apoquel, and hypoallergenic food, this gal is now ready to PAWTY!
What does Chiquis need in her potential home? Well, love, of course.
But she will also have to continue on Apoquel and hypoallergenic food to ensure she stays healthy and happy. Something to keep in mind when deciding if Chiquis is right for your home is the extra cost that goes into caring for an allergy-prone dog - It isn't anything crazy, but Chiquis does need these things to continue thriving!
At eleven years old, Chiquis still has SO much energy and is a joy to be around. She's a big fan of shoving herself under your feet when you're sitting to be pet. She LOVES to talk back, and always has something to say. She's an avid fetch player and is down for a car ride anytime.
This girl is so much fun to be around, and would be a wonderful addition for anyone who needs a bit more energy and love in their home.
If you think Chiquis would be the paw-fect fit for your family, consider stopping down to the shelter to meet her. Or check out her information right here -

ADOPT A SHELTER CAT MONTH!
Hey Siouxland! Did you know that the month of June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month?
Adopt a Shelter Cat Month is here to raise awareness of the overcapacity shelters face this time of year with kitten season at it's peak. This is a very real reality for many shelters across the United States, and we ourselves have had a major influx of kittens the past couple of weeks!
Personally, we think that means it's the purr-fect time for you to stop down and find a new feline friend for your family!
Not quite sure what you're looking for?
Don't worry - we have SO many different personalities and ages down here, you're sure to find a kitty that is EXACTLY what you need in your life.
We've added some pictures of some cats that you're sure to love. If these guys aren't what you're looking for, then check out our website. OR, better yet, come down today and give yourself the opportunity to absolutely fall in love with these sweet faces.
https://www.siouxlandhumanesociety.org/adopt/find-a-friend/

Can't adopt but still looking to help out? Consider sponsoring a pet - you can donate money towards a pet's adoption fee to help a future adopter with the initial adoption cost. This sort of thing can be a HUGE help for an potential adopter.
If you're interested, here's some more information on this program -
