Our boy Panda is now, again, in search of his forever home. As most of you know, Panda has had a wild winter. His last foster home had a mishap, and he ended up on the run for several months. Panda recently went to the vet and is on preventative care for any tick-borne disease he may have contracted on his adventure. He still has a few trust issues, but we feel like with the proper introduction, he would transition into a new home successfully. If you would like to meet our boy Panda, please follow the link below and fill out a pre-adoption application.

Say Hello to Luna!
A total love bug who thrives on affection and attention. She wants to be the center of your world! This sweet girl has always preferred a home without cats, and at one time, we thought she needed to be the only dog too. But recently, with help from Billie at Koda's Canine Academy, she had a successful introduction to another dog, and she did absolutely amazing!
With the right dog and a family whoā€™s attentive and understands dog body language, we believe she could happily share her home. She just needs someone whoā€™s willing to go slow, listen to her cues, and set her up for success.
Luna lives for treats and car rides, and just a heads up.. Luna is a shameless little food thief! If there is a snack left unattended, she'll happily claim it as her own. She's got a bit of a "trash-dog" streak and doesn't care who is watching!
Luna is incredibly smart and has the most adorable grinning smile that she loves to show off while wagging her tail and greeting everyone she meets. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate, and utterly lovable companion, Luna is ready to steal your heart!
She is a spayed Staffordshire Terrier Mix, 1 years old, vaccinated, chipped, and up to date on preventatives.

Meet Chance!
A 3 year old, fun, affectionate boy who absolutely adores people. Heā€™s a true ā€œpeople dogā€. His playful personality will almost always put a smile on your face. Whether heā€™s zooming around the yard or leaning in for some love, Chance knows how to make every moment full of joy.
In his previous home, Chance did well with cats. However, he does have a tendency to resource guard his toys around other animals. Because of this, heā€™ll need a knowledgeable owner who can recognize his cues and help ensure playtime remains safe and fun for everyone.
Chance is a neutered pitty mix, vaccinated, chipped, and up to date on all preventatives. Heā€™s ready to find his perfect match!

It has been a very emotionally heavy weekend knowing that we had reached the point of having to say goodbye to the most handsome and loving fighter we were lucky enough to know.. His name was Candy, and he was special. This is part of shelter life that a lot of people don't get a glimpse of, and the hardest part of our job.
Candy came to us with a multitude of health problems and although we tried to get him back to health, it was too late and his time was limited. That is when we reached out to find him a hospice foster home.
We want to thank Melinda Dawes, one of our most valued foster moms, who took him into her home without hesitation, and introduced him to her cat family. She did this knowing that he was in advanced kidney failure and it would end with heartache for her. Candy became a different cat in her quiet and peaceful home. He had always been nervous at the shelter and didn't like to venture out of his cage much, but he loved it at Melinda's.
Unfortunately, Candy only had a few weeks remaining, but he made the most of them. During that time he played like a kitten, cuddled with his new fur friends, slept on the bed with Melinda and when the time came, he was able to pass at peace, in his final home, with a lot of love around him.
Candy is the best example of how important fosters are for our shelter. Every animal deserves a home, whether its for a few days, a week , or for many years. Fostering helps animals like Candy have a home and the love that comes with it when adoption is not an option for them.
šŸ’œCandy you will be forever in our heartsšŸ’œ

My name is Freckles!
I am a 2 year old, young lady who is looking for an active family who can keep up with me! Iā€™m a mixed breed. Maybe a little Bulldog, a dash of Pit, a sprinkle of Beagle? Honestly, no one really knows... but what I do know is that Iā€™m 100% unique and 100% lovable.
I am really hoping this next home will be my last home, I have already had too many homes for one pup.
I do tend to get a little over-the-top sometimes. But, what can I say? Iā€™ve got big feelings! So, I appreciate gentle reminders when itā€™s time to chill. But once Iā€™ve calmed down, Iā€™m all about the snuggles and being adored.
One thing to know about me is I want to be your one and only. I donā€™t like other animals, so Iā€™ll need a home where I can soak up all the love and attention without any competition. Trust me... Iā€™m more than enough dog to fill your heart.
I am spayed, vaccinated, chipped, and up to date on preventatives!

PANDA HAS BEEN FOUND!

We are absolutely over the moon to share the news that Panda has been found and is safely back at the Somerset Humane Society!

For those who donā€™t know Pandaā€™s story ā€” he arrived at our shelter on September 30th, 2024, a gentle and reserved soul who needed time to trust. On Monday, February 10th, Panda took a big step and left for his new foster home on Ella Gerald Road in Canaan. But just 15 minutes after arriving, he slipped his collarā€¦ and ran.

What followed was an emotional and tireless two-month search filled with heartbreak, hope, and community support like no other.

To our staff who searched tirelessly, to the compassionate residents of Canaan who shared sightings, to those who drove around day after day, to the Canaan Animal Control Officer who helped set traps, and most of all to Melissa, who gave us hope when we needed it most. A week ago, she shared that Panda had been taking refuge in her shed. She set up motion cameras and, finally, today, she caught Panda and Megan rushed to retrieve him!

We are crying happy tears right alongside Megan, one of our dedicated canine techs, who you can see in the photo with Panda. The moment Panda spotted her, he let out the sweetest cry. It was clear just how much she meant to him, and how deeply that bond has remained.

Next steps are to get him looked over, give him all the love, and get him in to see a veterinarian for assessment soon! šŸ’™

To everyone who never gave up, thank you. Your support and love for Panda made all the difference.

Welcome back, sweet boy.

Calling All Cat Lovers!
This Friday and Saturday (April 11th & 12th) We are doing $50 adoption fees to approved homes on all cats over 1 years old!

We have snugglers, biscuit makers, or...if you're lucky a dramatic fur ball that will reluctantly allow you to live in their home.
Some of these cats are here to steal your heart with sweetness, and others will give you a lifetime supply of judgmental stares and demand your love only on their terms.
Either way, youā€™re falling in love.

Swing in during our normal business hours!
All cats are spayed, neutered, vaccinated, chipped, and up-to-date on preventatives.
