Right now, we have many litters of baby kittens an Right now, we have many litters of baby kittens and a litter of tiny puppies in our care. These little ones still have a long way to go before they are ready for adoption. For now, they are receiving round the clock care from our amazing foster families, who are helping them grow strong, stay warm, and get the nutrition they need during these critical early weeks.

To support these vulnerable babies and the fosters caring for them, we are currently in need of a few essential supplies:

🔥 Heating Disks
🐾 Puppy Pads
🍼 Kitten Milk Replacement
🍼 Puppy Milk Replacement

These items help ensure our smallest residents stay warm, comfortable, and well fed while they continue to grow. Every donation helps our foster families provide the best possible care for these tiny lives. 💛

📦 Shop our Amazon Wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/UZNC1SKSXV7C

🏠 Prefer to donate in person? Supplies can be dropped off during our open hours:
Tuesday to Friday 1 to 6 PM and Saturday 12 to 4 PM

Meet Mater! This playful 2 yr old pup loves being Meet Mater! This playful 2 yr old pup loves being outside and exploring the world around him. Sniffing the grass, checking out every corner of the yard, and following whatever trail his nose discovers are some of his favorite hobbies. Being a hound means his nose is basically his GPS, and sometimes it leads him on some pretty important investigations.

If you’re looking for a fun loving, adventure sniffing pup who will keep life interesting and bring a whole lot of joy to your days, Mater might just be your perfect co pilot. To apply to adopt visit: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs

Thank you to @dayton247now  for helping support shelter animals just like Mater while they wait for their forever homes.

Dior had a very special visit to Greenmont Element Dior had a very special visit to Greenmont Elementary! 🐾

The students at an after-school club organized a donation drive to support animals in our care, collecting supplies with so much thoughtfulness and hard work. Dior’s visit was our chance to thank them in person and show just how much their generosity means to the animals waiting for forever homes.

Our three-legged wunderpup was the perfect guest, spreading smiles, tail wags, and plenty of joy while meeting all the students. Their kindness made a real difference, and it was heartwarming to celebrate their efforts together.

And the best news? Dior found his forever home shortly after the visit! 💛 Three legs, endless love, and a heart full of gratitude thanks to the amazing students at Greenmont Elementary. 🐶💖

Meet Marion, the spunky stray turned professional Meet Marion, the spunky stray turned professional toy-tosser. This girl may have started out roaming the streets on her own, but these days she’s much more interested in showing off her impressive fetch skills and redecorating her space… usually by dramatically tossing her salad bowl across the room. Interior design is clearly a passion.

Marion isn’t much of a cuddle bunny. Instead, she brings main character energy wherever she goes. If there’s a toy nearby, it will be thrown. If there’s a bowl nearby, it might also be thrown. Life with Marion is never boring, and she keeps everyone laughing with her playful antics and big personality.

She is managing a metabolic condition that requires a strict, high quality diet, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. Marion currently lives in a foster home where her diet can be carefully managed, and because she isn’t at the shelter every day, she tends to get overlooked. We’d love to see this hilarious, resilient girl finally find a family of her own.

If you’re looking for a fluffy ball of fun with a dash of sass, Marion might be the perfect match for you. Learn more or apply to adopt at:
