There is no better feeling than when we reunite a pet with their family 💟

Today is !

Microchipped pets are more than twice as likely to be reunited with their families, but having your pet microchipped is only one part of the equation.

Many microchips are never registered or are not kept up to date when owner information changes.

Today serves as a very important reminder to make sure your pet's microchip information is up to date!

Because we want to keep your pets at home where they belong 🏡

No one can resist Sam's movie star eyebrows, not even Sydney Stallworth! 🤨

Sam is an 8-year-old Miniature Schnauzer with the most adorable bushy eyebrows!

He's been compared to Sam Waterston and Eugene Levy 🤩

Sam arrived at HSMO heartworm +, but that won't stop us from finding his forever home! While Sam is undergoing treatment he is available to be fostered until he completes his treatment and then adopted 💕

Sam made his way to KSDK News this morning to show off his adorable personality and even enjoy a snack on air! If that doesn't capture someone's heart we don't know what will!

Ta**us is a sweet pup with beautiful brown eyes and an adorable speckled white chest.

Today is the first week with no Kids for Critters Camp and we're already having withdrawals!! 🌊🐟🐠🦈🐬

Our Summer Camp theme this year was all about Making Waves for the Animals and along the way we dove straight into the deep end of fun!! 🎉

Every day at Kids for Critters camp is an adventure:

From meeting shelter pets, making dog treats, becoming a Shelter Buddy, meeting an ACT Officer, training dogs on an obstacle course, and even visiting Longmeadow Rescue Ranch armed with Piggy Popsicles and ready to enjoy Pony Rides!!

Each and every week we made new friends: two-legged, four-legged, furry, scaly, winged and hooved! 🐶😻🐹🐰🐴🐷

All of this fun would not be possible without all the time, effort and energy from our devoted Volunteers, Camp Counselors, Humane Educators and our incredible staff!

After a Fin-Tastic 7 weeks 🦈 our campers made a Tidal Wave of difference 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️

We can't wait to see you all again next summer!! 🌞

Letty is forever home 🥳

7 months to the day since Letty arrived at HSMO her forever family found her 💕

When Letty arrived at HSMO in December she was nursing a litter of puppies right before Christmas.

Everyone in the shelter immediately fell in love with her sweet nature and beautiful eyes.

After her pups went on to find forever homes of their own, Letty headed into a foster home where she could enjoy some peace and quiet after raising the sweetest puppies.

She spent 5 months in foster homes where she was a perfect house guest. We knew it couldn't be too long before someone got lucky and adopted this perfect girl!

It was love at first sight as Letty met her dad! He knew immediately that Letty was the dog for him! 💟

Happy Tails Letty! 🐾

Pupdate | Adopted!! 🥳

It's and while he may not be looking for a foster home, Chewie is getting to hang out with our Foster Coordinator, Savannah! 💕

Chewie is a 2-year-old Pekingese mix. While he may be slow to warm up, once he knows he can trust you all he wants to do is be right next to you.

Chewie is looking for a quiet home where his personality can start to shine! He is easily overwhelmed by loud noises so he would prefer a home without small children.

If you're looking for your next lap dog, meet Chewie at our Macklind location today! 🐾
