This handsome guy is Ernie. Ernie is a 1-year and This handsome guy is Ernie. Ernie is a 1-year and 6-month-old, Male, Boxer Mix, looking for his new forever home! He is a happy, silly guy full of personality! We aren't sure what his past was like but based on his behavior and condition, he may not have had the best life. He has a large scar on his back that we aren't sure how he got and he is a little nervous and shy when first meeting new people or being in a new situation. Once you gain his trust though, he will be a silly, happy, playful dog. He likes being outside, being goofy, and running around exploring. We don't know much about his past so we do recommend he meet any potential "dog siblings" before going home with them. Ernie has a lot of love to give and just needs someone willing to show him that he is safe and loved and he will be a happy and loyal friend to them. You could be the forever family Ernie has been waiting for! Even with our COVID-19 guidelines, adopting is still so simple! 1. Visit www.hsdayton.org/adopt to see all our available pets 2.

Meet Ghost! Ghost is 2-years-old and is looking fo Meet Ghost! Ghost is 2-years-old and is looking for his forever home! A kind person found him as a stray and cared for him but couldn't keep him. He previous caregiver earned his trust and saw what a sweet cat he can be. Here at the shelter he's been understandably very stressed and nervous. All the change, noises, smells, people, and other animals can be overwhelming for a cat who's been out on his own for a while. He allows his caregivers to handle him but mostly hides right now. We're just giving him gentle encouragement and letting him settle in and come out of his shell at his own pace. Earning the trust of a shy cat is an incredibly rewarding experience that forms a close bond between the cat and his person. We can tell that there's something very special about Ghost... he just needs that right cat savvy person who can be patient with him and knows how to show him he's safe and loved. We know there's that special someone out there who can understand Ghost and can open their heart to a cat who needs some extra compassion and reassurance.

Meet Cyan! Cyan came to us as a stray, so we don't Meet Cyan! Cyan came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about her history. A kind neighborhood caretaker took her in before bringing her to us. In the home she had fantastic litter box manners, got along with the other cats in the home, and was not destructive in any way. While she is still very nervous adjusting to the shelter environment (all the new sounds and smells are overwhelming), her caretaker said she is sweet, sassy, opinionated, and affectionate. She just needs the right quiet home to help her feel safe and loved. You could be the one to give Cyan the forever home that she deserves! If you would like to meet her today, she is currently at one of our offsite adoption locations, Pet Supplies Plus - Kettering, located at 508 E Stroop Rd, Kettering, OH.

She is such a sweet and spunky little gal and she can't wait to find the forever home that she deserves!
