ADOPTABLE: Beautiful Sage is a 3-year-old Australian shepherd/pitbull mix who loves other dogs and people, especially men.

Sage has been through obedience training and does great with eye contact and hand signals. Because she is a very smart girl, she needs a strong, active owner who will reinforce routines. She is house- and crate-trained, and she has been living in foster care.

After being attacked by a raccoon last year, she no longer does well with cats/chickens/small fluffy animals. Sage loves playing and rough-housing with other dogs but may be too intense for grumpy or older dogs.

Sage is a dog on high alert and would do well in agility (she is very fast!) or as a member of an active family. She does get excited when meeting new people, so a house with older children would be best.
Sage is a great size and fully grown at around 40 pounds and is a very low shedder. She would do best with a fenced-in yard where she could fully participate in her daily zoomies.
Her adoption fee is $200. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.

Here is her link on Petfinder:

This is Thunder (formerly Merlin), who snoozed on the ride home to his adoptive home, and who has snoozed many times since settling in.
His new family told us: "His favorite thing right now is the cat tree!"

Thank you for adopting Thunder from the Clinton County Humane Society!

Now this is love and a family who did not give up on an adopted dog.
When they said "chewing phase," we weren't expecting to see the damage to the DRYWALL. 😲
Despite her "chewing phase," Grace and her family celebrated her 1-year Gotcha Day anniversary on Friday.
Her family sent us the gorgeous photos and told us: "She is such a beautiful soul and we are so lucky to have her. She and her sister are inseparable, and she is getting spoiled as she deserves living out in the country. I can't believe it has been a year already. She went through a chewing phase when we brought her home, you can see the patches in the background 😂.
"Thanks again for all that you do for animals."

Thank YOU for adopting Grace from the Clinton County Humane Society and for being OK with patching drywall.

Arlo is definitely living his best life after recently being adopted! He has been exploring his new neighborhood, then joining his new canine snuggle-sibling for a snooze on the couch (with not one, but two comfy quilts 🥰).

Thank you for adopting Arlo from the Clinton County Humane Society!

📣 URGENT: Help Us Help These Amazing Dogs! 🐶❤️

Dear Friends and supporters,

We need your compassion and support now more than ever. For the past couple of months, we’ve been caring for a group of incredible dogs who were rescued from a backyard breeder — and then we added several more dogs from a different breeder in another part of Clinton County.

These sweet souls have been receiving the love and medical attention they so desperately needed — getting healthy, vaccinated, and spayed. But as you can imagine, the costs have been overwhelming.

One of our most urgent cases is Paige. During her spay surgery, Paige suffered a cardiac arrest. Thankfully, she was resuscitated, but we need to schedule a complete cardiac workup to determine the cause and to ensure she gets the care she needs. This crucial diagnostic test and bloodwork alone will cost nearly $900.

On top of that, we have ongoing expenses for vaccinations, surgeries, and general care for the normal load of animals — PLUS 38 kittens 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈 in our care.

Our expenses are mounting, and we urgently need your help to give these animals and others the second chance they deserve.

💔 How You Can Help:
* Donate: Click on the button on this post. Every dollar counts! Please consider making a contribution to our nonprofit organization. Your generosity will directly support Paige’s heart workup and the ongoing care of all our rescued animals. We survive solely on donations, adoption fees, and thousands of hours of volunteer work.

* Share: Spread the word to your friends and family. The more people who know, the more support we can gather.

* Adopt: Please consider adopting an animal instead of buying from a backyard breeder, pet store, puppy mill, etc. Shelters all over are treading water. Here's a link to our adoptable pets:

Together, we can make a life-changing difference. Please donate today and help us continue our mission of rescuing and healing these precious animals.

It's so fun to have a new bestie to play with!

From Winter's new family: "Fluffy, now known as Winter (on the right), is doing great. She is adjusting well into her new pack. Every day I see a little bit more of her personality coming out as she settles in. I think her and her new big sister Storm are going to be besties."

Thank you for adopting Winter from the Clinton County Humane Society!

Look at little Lucious Puffy — he is the mini-me of his new older sibling! So cute!

"I appreciate all the work you do and send you a message to say thank you, and let you know how happy we are together. 😊"

Thank you for adopting from the Clinton County Humane Society!

Wow! 🌟 We are beyond grateful to the amazing folks at La Bella Vida Dog Grooming, who transformed Mia, a sweet Alaskan malamute, from a tangled mess into a stunning beauty! 🐾 Their kindness and skill have made a world of difference for her!💕

Mia, who came to us from a difficult situation of backyard breeding in our county, is looking fabulous and will be ready for her forever home starting Thursday after she’s been spayed.

Mia was STRUTTING upon arrival back at the shelter! She has come a long way — check out the photo of her previous lifestyle and then her glamour shot this evening!✨

🐾 Adopt an Arctic companion: Help us find homes for these wonderful dogs! 🐾
We have several amazing Arctic-breed dogs in need of loving homes. These magnificent pups, including Siberian huskies, Alaskan malamutes, and various mixes, have come to us due to unfortunate overbreeding situations in our county.
🌟 Here’s some traits of Arctic breeds:
* Unique Adaptations: These dogs were bred for the Arctic, with thick fur and special adaptations to handle cold climates. In warmer areas, they need extra care to stay cool. Ensure they have plenty of fresh water, shade, and access to air conditioning to keep them comfortable.
* Active and Engaged: Arctic breeds thrive on exercise and mental stimulation. They love long walks, runs, and engaging activities. Without proper outlets, they might become bored and exhibit challenging behaviors.
* Pack Mentality: These dogs are incredibly loyal and crave being part of the family pack. They do best with consistent leadership, positive reinforcement, and a fenced-in yard where they can safely play and explore.
💙 How You Can Help:
1. Adopt: If you have an active lifestyle and can provide the care these dogs need, consider adopting one of our Arctic breeds. They’ll reward you with their loyalty and affection.
2. Share: Spread the word about our adoptable Arctic dogs. Your shares and recommendations might just find these dogs the homes they’ve been waiting for.
3. Support: If you can’t adopt, support our shelter through donations to our private organization — we rely solely on donations and adoption fees! These dogs required veterinary attention, including our usual spaying/neutering and vaccinations. Your help allows us to continue caring for these wonderful animals.
Our Arctic breeds are looking for dedicated, loving homes where they can thrive and be part of the family. If you’re ready to take on the rewarding challenge of caring for one of these incredible dogs, please check out the link to all our adoptable pets on Petfinder. Together, we can give them the second chance they deserve!

🌸🐾 When you adopt a puppy from the shelter and she ends up being the flower girl at your wedding, you know you have a fairytale in the making! 🐾🌸
Miley is a shelter superstar who ended up being adopted almost two years ago by wonderful folks from Ontario, Canada.
Yesterday, Miley took her flower girl duties very seriously, walking down the aisle like a pro.
We are so happy to see these photos!
Miley (known as Pixie at the shelter) had arrived in our care needing surgery for cherry eye. Several of you contributed to the expense of the treatment!
Miley's journey from a discarded little furball to wedding royalty is nothing short of magical.
Cheers to happily ever afters, and to lots of wagging tails! 🥂💖

Adorable Lucy's family said that she has been "the best addition" to their home. A DNA test revealed that Lucy (formerly Elle) is not a Lab-shepherd but mostly a shepherd, just like her big brother, Theo, who adores her.
Little Lucy has already been on her first camping trip and has attended her first dirt race! It's great to know she has such an amazing life already!
