Yesterday was National Puppy Day! 🐶💕 Our paw-some volunteer, Mallory, headed out to our puppy playgroup to see what our young pups had to say about this special holiday! 🎤We know it’s easy to fall in love with a puppy’s silly antics, floppy ears, and adorable round tummies, but behind every cute face is a reminder of why this day matters. Pet overpopulation is a REAL issue and it’s worse than you may realize. Shelters across the country are bursting at the seams with puppies, dogs, and pets of all ages waiting to find loving homes. Shelters and rescues simply cannot keep up and sadly, many healthy, loving, deserving pets all over the US lose their lives due to capacity limitations and lack of resources. Our four legged best friends deserve better and us humans are the ONLY solution! What can YOU do to help the pet overpopulation crisis? Spay and neuter your pets, adopt don’t shop, and get involved with your local shelter! Adopt, foster, donate, volunteer, and make a difference in the lives of these sweet, innocent, souls. ❤️To learn more about how you can get involved in our work, check out our website at thomasvillehumane.org !#thomasvillehumane #adopt #adoptme #adoptdontshop #nationalpuppyday #adoptyourbestfriend #dogsdeservebetter #createimpact #spayandneuter #spayandneuteryourpets #spayandneutersaveslives #puppylove
Ember loved her visit last week to Thomas University! 💚 Thanks to everyone who stopped by to give her some love, or sneak her some of their lunch🤭 We also owe a huge thank you to Brooke at K9 Life Lessons for perfecting Ember’s leash skills and polite greetings, making this sweet girl even easier to love! Ember has been waiting for a family to find her for almost 400 days. Could that family be you?

Please Read Before Commenting 🙏We ask for kindness and understanding as we share Bruno’s story. His family is facing unimaginable challenges, and we deeply respect their efforts to care for him during this time. His owner, a mother doing everything she can to recover from this tremendous loss, was actively seeking help for Bruno when we stepped in. There’s no judgment here—only support. Because one of the greatest acts of compassion is helping someone hold on to what they have left, including the pets they love dearly. If you’d like to make Bruno’s stay extra special, please consider a gift to support his care. Your donations ensure Bruno and others like him receive love and care in their time of need. 💙 . . . Ways to Donate: 👉 On our website at: thomasvillehumane.org/donate 👉 Venmo: ThomasvilleHumane (Put "Bruno" in the caption so we know!) 👉 Amazon Wishlist: https://a.co/i7dzKPv (Bruno LOVES toys, puzzles, and obviously, treats! 😉) 👉 Donated goods or checks may be mailed to 180 Big Star Dr. Thomasville, GA 31757. Thank you for Creating Impact with us.

A quick note from Monty about his recovery!
Hi friends, it’s me, Monty! 😻
I just wanted to pop on here to thank all of you who helped make my surgery happen. Thanks to your kindness, my entropion surgery is done, and wow—what a difference it has made!
Now that my eyes aren’t irritated all the time, I can finally see the world clearly, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely beautiful! I never realized how green the trees are or how much fun it is to watch the staff zoom around the shelter. It’s like a whole new world has opened up for me. ✨
I’m doing great in my recovery, even though they’re making wear this silly cone for a few more days (which is seriously impeding on my head rubs). But come Monday, it’s coming off (thank goodness!) and my head and ears will be ready for all the scritchins.
Thank you again for helping me feel better and see better. You’ve made my life so much brighter, and I’m so grateful for every single one of you who helped me get one step closer to my forever home. Sending lots of purrs and head boops your way! 💛
Love,
Monty
A quick update on Tractor! 🚜🐾 He spent yesterday at the vet getting a good grooming, which ended up being a full shave down due to his extensive matting; and he got a full assessment, giving us some answers on some bumps and lumps we found under his thick, matted coat. We left with a weight-loss and diet plan, and we could tell Tractor was already feeling SO much better. The best part? We found a perfect foster to support him through his recovery. 🙏🏼 Thank you to everyone who has reached with foster inquiries and to those who sent healing prayers for this sweet boy. We’re happy to see him back on track towards finding himself in good health and in a loving, furever home ❤️
We let our shelter dogs pick their own Christmas presents this year 🎄🎁 Thank you to those that donated toys to make this adorable video possible!
These little troublemakers are ready to find their forever homes! 🐾 This litter of seven 9-week-old puppies may be tiny, but they’ve already mastered the art of wreaking adorable havoc. If your life could use a little (or a lot!) of puppy energy, come meet them! They’re sure to keep you on your toes—and fill your heart with love. 💕 Check out their headshots at thomasvillehumane.org/adopt for some serious cuteness! 😍*Please note that these puppies are not quite available for adoption, but are available for Foster-to-Adopt! Please stop in or give us a call with any questions.
If we had a fantasy football team here at Thomasville Humane, Ember would be our first pick! 🫣😆🏈
Don’t worry, Shrek is a great sport and loves to play ruff right back! Our rough and rowdy playgroup in the morning always gives us something to laugh about!
Who would you put in your fantasy lineup? Check out our whole team at thomasvillehumane.org/adopt !

There’s no question that working in an animal shelter is tough, both physically and emotionally. But it’s sweet moments like this that remind us why we do what we do! Is there anything more special than a pet’s love? 🫶🏼
Bones is one of the many sweet, loving pups we have in care waiting to find a furever home. He came to TH back in June as a transport from a nearby shelter. Since his arrival, he’s been treated for heartworm disease, has learned to love his time in playgroups, and he’s shown us what a wonderful dog he is!
Bones is ready to be your new best friend! His $100 adoption fee covers his neuter surgery, HW treatment, vaccines, and microchip. Adopt him today!
