WILMA
Meet Wilma, an 8-year-old Boxer with a personality as unique as her always-hanging-out tongue! This sweet girl is housebroken and adores sleeping on the bed, making her the perfect cuddle buddy. Wilma absolutely loves car rides, so if you’re an adventurer, she’ll be right there with you.

Though she's on the smaller side, don’t let that fool you—Wilma can easily clear a fence, so she’ll need a secure yard. Wilma prefers to be the queen of her castle, so she’d do best in a home without other dogs. If you’re looking for a loyal, quirky companion, Wilma is your girl!

DOGS 1-3 $60, DOGS 4 AND OLDER $50, Under 1 year $200

LIBERTY
If you're looking to add more of a pony sized dog to your home, Liberty is your girl. This giant sweetheart is a 4 year old great dane mix with the most adorable ears. She loves to give hugs and dance with her human. She is good with kids but would probably best be served as the only animal in the home. Liberty originally came to the shelter as a stray in 2021. She was adopted for two years but was returned- due to no fault of her own. She has been with us for now over a year and we would really like to find her the home she deserves. She loves to get out and run in the yard as much as she loves to laze around and just hang out with you.

What do you get when you cross a Shih Tzu and a Blue Heeler? Adorable faces like these! Mom and Dad were both relatively small, so we are guessing these kids will remain small as well. We are open 1-4 today if you would like to add to your family.

You guys… we have a problem. It’s a good problem: we’ve had 25 adoptions in barely over a month!! 🤯 However, we only have 8 cats (plus our resident kitty, Millie) currently in our lounge for tomorrow, or until our humane shelter partner can replenish the cats in our care.

Due to this, I’ve shut down the reservation system for Saturday (July 27th) and we will instead be operating on a walk-in basis only, offering 30 min lounge visits with a maximum of 8 people in the lounge at a time. We will re-evaluate tomorrow for Sunday’s schedule.

The best cat cafe experiences are where there are an equal or higher number of cats than human guests, so we are keeping it small and more personal for guests during our time of less cats.

Thank you so much for your understanding, and we hope to see you soon! The kitties still need guests to play with, and there’s still some delicious prepackaged baked goods from local bakeries in our cafe side, plus some cool cat merch! We will be open Saturday 11am to 8pm.

Frank got his wheels today!!! 😃

Tarzan

Jeff and Rodeo, two very good boys, enjoying the sunshine.

🐾 Meet Tarzan, the heart-stealer extraordinaire with the most enchanting eyes! 👀🐶💕 🎉 Age: 2 years 🚹 Gender: Male Tarzan isn't just a dog; he's a bundle of love wrapped in fur, and those eyes tell a thousand tales! 😍 At 2 years old, this sweet boy is all about spreading joy and giving the best hugs ever! 🤗 Tarzan's superpower? The ability to jump fences (yep, he's got skills! 🚀), so keep an eye on this acrobat with those gorgeous peepers if he's left to his own devices. But fear not, his love outweighs any mischief! 💖 Get ready to fall head over paws for Tarzan's charm and those captivating eyes. Share the love, share the joy, and let Tarzan be the highlight of your day! 🌈🐾 #TarzanTheHugMaster #DazzlingEyes #DoggoLove

Nico!

Update: ADOPTED! Where are all of our German Shepherd lovers? This is Nico. She’s a gorgeous 5 month old and she is smart! She learns very quickly and gives great eye contact. Judging by the size of her paws, she will probably be a big girl. Nico is spayed and ready to be adopted!

Heidi

Peanut butter is a special treat. Combine it with a kong and it provides much needed stimulation for shelter dogs. We are always in need if you would like to donate. Always be sure your peanut butter does not contain xylitol or “birch sugar.”

This is Petey. He is about 7 years old. Super friendly and loves a cuddle. He is also very clean. He will not go in his kennel. Some may say he’s over the hill but still has lots of energy and life in him.

Rosie and Buddy got some sibling time this morning to play together. They have been quite sad. Their family, while moving cross country abandoned them at the shelter. They are very sweet and would love a family to take them home. Adult dogs are only $75 right now. A perfect time to add to your family.

Owen has an eventful day!

An update on our fan favorite dog, Owen. This morning, he went outside and met two friends, Al and Pacino. Al is a very shy, scared dog, just like Owen, and the three of them bonded immediately. This trio will now enjoy play time as often as possible. This afternoon, Owen had his first vet visit with Dr. Holscher. As we suspected, Owens paw is a birth defect. It only affects his mobility inside the building, and that is due to the way the nails have developed (see the original photo below). We are evalauting his progress, but there is a real possibiity he will need to have one or more nails removed so he can better navitage being inside. He is fine on grass. Right now, our staff have to carry him in and out. We are also instructed to "get some groceries in him." :-) As you can see, Owen--and ALL of our animals--get the best care we can humanly provide. Our staff go above and beyond, for little pay, because they are passionate about what we do at THHS. Please, give them a thank you when you stop by. They really appreciate it! We will continue to update Owen's story as he begins to live his best life!

Heidi needs a foster!

Heidi is in need of a foster. If you recall, we took Heidi in. She was pregnant and having hip issues. We are now looking for a foster for her so that we can consult with the vet and possibly pursue the surgery. The problem is that she will need a home to recoup in post surgery. Heidi is the sweetest pup. She loves to play and be goofy. Heidi does not like to be around other dogs, so she would need to be the only pet in the house. If you are interested in fostering her, please reach out to us so we can get this girl to a healthier state.

Our volunteers are so important to our mission! This is just some of what they do to help get animals adopted. If you'd like to join our team, email [email protected] . Our next volunteer orientation is Saturday, June 17th!

CALLING ALL FOSTERS! We’ve got 5 kittens in need of a foster! They will need to be bottle fed every few hours. We can provide you with any supplies necessary. If you are interested in fostering fill out the application in the link below ⬇️ https://www.thhs.org/info/display?PageID=14193 If you have any questions concerning fostering email our foster coordinator at [email protected]
