Good morning! It’s Thursday, which means we have more adorable adoptables from the fine folks at Judge's Park. Meet Luna and Celeste—two sweet bun buns!

**These bunnies are fully vaccinated for RHDV**

**They have been waiting for a home since June of 2025**

**They are in foster in Niles, OH**

Here’s more about them from the shelter:

Breed: Some sort of American type mix. Luna (gray/white) and Celeste (black)

Size: About 6-7 lbs full grown

DOB: Born around February 26,2025

Reason in Rescue: We took an owner surrender of 3 girls when someone took in a stray bunny who ended up having a litter of babies.

Personality: This group of babies are just that, babies! They are goofy and outgoing and love to play! Luna and Celeste are a bonded pair. Luna is definitely the boss of her sister and is the biggest. They are all so sweet and love being petted and snuggled, though Celeste is more timid than her gray sisters. They are very good with their litter box.

Requirements: Must be adopted as an indoor animal, with an as large as possible plastic bottomed cage or puppy pen (minimum 4' x 2' for a single and 4 x 4 for a pair).

Adoption process: An adoption application must be filled out (http://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html), and approved by us. Then we will arrange a meeting time to see the animal of interest. A home visit is required prior to adoption (but can be waived if pictures or video are supplied of where the bunny will be living).

Suggested adoption fee is $125 for a pair which includes their spays , vaccines, and microchips.

Today Madame and Monsieur come home, so today is officially the last day of Henry giving me dirty looks for taking his spot. I feel like I need to remind Henry that guests have privileges, and one of those is taking whatever spot on the couch they prefer.

For me, that is always the spot closest to Mistress Patti. I like to abut her...well, her butt. It's my favorite place, although I don't mind abutting her leg or her arm or her back or whatever part is available to me.

Henry also likes abutting Mistress Patti. Oh, well. He can abut as much as he wants in a few short hours.

In other good news, it looks like someone applied to adopt April. We'll keep you posted. We may have to have a party for her if it happens. That would be the best news ever!

Have a great day, friends! Enjoy this glorious Wednesday. :)

Hi there! My name’s Buddy Martin, and I’m a 2-year-old bundle of joy with a heart as big as my smile! I might have started life as a stray, but now I’m dreaming of a forever-home where I can share all my love (and a few of my silly zoomies).

I’m a sweet, affectionate guy who adores hugs, kisses, and playtime. Give me a tennis ball, and I’ll show you my best moves! I spent some time in a foster home where I proved that I’m both housebroken and crate-trained. Pretty impressive, right?!?

I do like to keep an eye on my home and can be protective when new people visit. It helps me feel safe to relax in my crate with a tasty treat when guests come over. That’s why I’d be happiest in an adults-only home without too many visitors, just me, my favorite humans, and lots of love.

My dream home would have a fenced yard where I can run, play, and get all my energy out. I’m still working on some basic training, but I’m super eager to please and very treat motivated, so I’m ready to learn everything you want to teach me!

The shelter can be a little loud and stressful for me, so I can’t wait to find a calm, quiet home where I can finally relax, cuddle up, and just be your Buddy.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving friend who will keep you smiling every day, come meet me, Buddy Martin, and let’s start our happily ever after!

Do you have room for one more this Thanksgiving? Consider inviting a shelter animal to spend the holidays with you! 🦃🥧🍂

For animals at the shelter, the holidays can be a lonely time. When you sign up as a foster at the Beaver County Humane Society, you provide an animal with a safe and nurturing environment to flourish. Even a long weekend is a wonderful holiday break for them!

Shelter animals are most thankful for a break from the kennels and the love you give them. Add a furry friend to your Thanksgiving table and apply for our foster program today! ❤️

Good morning. As you can clearly see, the situation at Mistress Patti's Home For Wayward Dogs is getting serious. We have four dogs and only one tiny corner of toast left. This will not end well. Especially because we are all Master Beggers.

How can you tell a Master Begger from a mere Requestor of Table Scraps? It's a combination of pseudo starvation mixed with dramatic sighs. It works. Trust me. No one can resist it the sighs. But the real secret is even more important. It's all in the eyes.

You can see it, can't you?

Everyone can. It's that undeniable pull that draws every human in and makes them putty in our paws.

Well, everyone except for Madame. She's like immune to my charms. Do you know what she says to me when I beg?

"No way, Capone. I'm not falling for it. You just ate."

So harsh. So cruel. So true, and yet so thoughtless.

Fortunately, Mistress Patti has a softer heart. She just needs more toast. Maybe she needs to make five pieces and divvy them up evenly. Frankly speaking a corner isn't enough for anyone.

*NOT that I'd refuse the corner if she offered it. I may be desperate, and a Master Begger, but I'm not stupid.

Sigh.

Is she going to split it four ways? At least it would be something, right?

Have a great Monday, friends. I hope you can all the toast you can wish for this morning.

Sunday morning at Mistress Patti's Home for Wayward Dogs.

It's pretty blissful at the moment, despite the fact that Henry is in my spot. AGAIN. But so far, this visit is going well. That means that:

1. I did not wake up and yark in Mistress Patti's bed at 3 am.
2. I did not have explosive diarrhea in the house at any point whatsoever.
3. I did not p**p in any bathtubs.
4. I did not break any coffee cups by wagging my tail too hard.

Since these are all things I have done in the past, I'd say that this visit is going particularly well. No puking, p**ping, or pottery breakage in the house. It sounds like a win to me.

Enjoy your Sunday, friends. I hope your day is as peaceful and perfect as ours.

xoxo

Mistress Patti has been feeling poorly with an infected tooth and a puffy, sore face. Thank goodness she has me to take care of her.

I really am the best nursemaid. What makes me so good?

1. I go into deep snuggle mode, curling up and providing a kind of furry comfort.
2. I stare at whomever is sick with a mix of concern and adoration.
3. I snore, which is proven to be the most soothing sound in the world.
4. I provide a valuable heat source, and I'm far better than any electric blanket.

Mistress Patti is so lucky to have me. And I'm so lucky I get to take care of her all weekend.

Deep snuggle mode really is the best medicine. I'm sure she'll be feeling better in no time.

Guess where I am this weekend?

It's my last stay of the year at Mistress Patti's Home for Wayward Dogs, and I'm so happy to be here. Yes, I'll miss Madame (she's on a wine-tasting trip with her sisters—boring), but I really enjoy spending time with my doggie friends and also Mistress Patti.

I had a feeling this was coming. While Madame was on the phone today, I heard her talking about it. I was sleeping on the couch, but as soon as she said the word "Patti," my ears perked up. And when she mentioned Henry, Elliot, and April, I started to bark and dance around the room.

I couldn't wait to leave. As soon as we reached, Wampum (where Mistress Patti lives), I began to sing the song of my people. By the time we pulled up in front of her house, I was losing my ever-loving mind. I nearly ripped Madame's arm out of the socket dragging her to the front door.

My buddies were so happy to see me too. Who needs wine-tasting when you can have butt sniffing? We are going to have the best time ever.

BTW: We're still looking for a home for sweet April. She's a beautiful girl, and so well-behaved. She's also good with other dogs. If you have room in your home, and in your heart, for this precious doggo, please let us know. We'd be delighted to set up a meet and greet for you. As a special bonus, I could be there as well. You could meet all of us at once! Now that would be really special, don't you think?

Have a great Friday, friends! Enjoy your day.

Good morning! It’s Thursday, which means we have another adorable adoptable from the fine folks at Judge's Park.

Meet Tanzanite! The wee hamster!!

*He’s a silver/gray dwarf hamster.
*He was one year old as of November 2025.

Here is more about him from the shelter:

-This boy came in as a transfer from another rescue who had a ton of small animals and needed some help!
-He is a roly poly little boy who comes right out for attention.
-No biting or anything but he is fast so not recommended for being handled by small children.
-Dwarf hamsters can be more on the side of watch and be entertained but don’t necessarily carry around lol.
-We recommend large size hamster cages/bin cages for them so they have lots of room to run around and play and get their energy out, with lots of activities, things to climb on and chew, and solid bottomed wheels to run on, as well as a good healthy hamster diet supplemented with fresh foods.
-Bar spacing for dwarf hamsters must be small enough to ensure no escapes!
-Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html
-Adoption fee is $20 for a single hamster.

The spot next to Madame on the loveseat is mine. Monsieur does not seem to understand this very basic rule. In fact, he seems to purposely want to break it.

I’ve noticed that lately every time I get up from this spot (aka MY spot), he jumps in. It’s almost like he wants to mess with me.

It’s torture. It’s cruel. I hate it.

And do you know what the worst thing is?

Monsieur thinks it’s funny. He enjoys my pain. In fact, he laughs and laughs.

Do you know who isn’t laughing?

ME.

I hate this. Ugh.

It’s a good thing Monsieur travels so much for work. Otherwise we might need a bigger loveseat.

Hello! I am Alani. I am a 3-year-old female, brown brindle German Shepherd Dog mix.

I’m a beautiful lady with the prettiest stripes and the softest fur. I'm a little shy, and sometimes, new people scare me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make new friends!

I came to the shelter as a stray. The staff here know very little about my past, but they’ve learned a lot about me. For example:

1. They know I love to run and zoom around the yard, so they named me after an energy drink.
2. They know I’m very smart, so they’ve been teaching me all sorts of new tricks.
3. They know I need time to warm up to new people, which is very shepherd-like of me.

I would do best with a family who has experience with working/protective breeds. They will understand how I view the world and they will adore my wicked smart brain. I’d also like a home that wants to work with me, and help me learn new things like using a crate. Above all else, I’d like a home that will love me forever.

Maybe that home is yours...? Come in today and find out!

Staff member Aubrey says: "Alani is a sweet but shy girl who finds comfort in leaning on things she trusts whether that be a brick wall or your legs. She may greet you with a bark when she gets scared or a wagging tail when she recognizes it’s her friend come to take her outside where the world is a little quieter and less scary. She loves to play in the yard and is still learning to make new doggy friends but she can wall surf her way into anyone’s heart."

Note: Alani may need multiple meet and greets as she can be shy getting to know new people.
