❤️🥹 Today, our hearts were deeply touched. 🥹❤️ A ❤️🥹 Today, our hearts were deeply touched. 🥹❤️ A very kind and generous person came into our shelter earlier today with a large donation, lots of food for our shelter dogs and cats, and other supplies. But it wasn’t just the size of the donation that moved us, it was the story behind it. He shared that he was honoring his wife, who had recently passed. She had always dreamed of helping shelter animals and making a meaningful impact, but she wasn’t able to see it happen. Through his donation, her dream came to life. He told us he plans to make this an annual tradition, continuing to honor her love for animals year after year. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank this incredible donor, not only for helping our animals stay fed, warm, and cared for, but for keeping his wife’s spirit and compassion alive in such a beautiful, loving way. Stories like this remind us why the work we do matters so deeply. ❤️ Thank you for showing us that love and kindness truly leave a lasting pawprint. 🐾 #AnimalLove #HeartfeltGiving #ShelterSupport #ForeverKindness #PawprintsOnOurHearts #HonoringLovedOnes #MakingADifference #HumaneSociety #AnimalsInNeed #CompassionInAction
✨ This holiday season, their wish is simple. ✨ Th ✨ This holiday season, their wish is simple. ✨ The holidays can be a lonely time in a shelter. While many of us are spending time with family, these dogs are still waiting… waiting for someone to choose them, to commit to them, and to love them for a lifetime. Right now, our shelter is full of dogs who are hoping for something that cannot be wrapped or placed under a tree. A forever home. We want to be very clear. Dogs are not holiday gifts. Adoption is a thoughtful, long-term decision that deserves time, planning, and heart. But if you have been thinking about welcoming a dog into your life and are ready for that responsibility, there are many incredible dogs in our care right now who would love nothing more than to start the new year at home. If you are ready to make that commitment, we would love to help you find your match. 👉 hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs Not able to adopt?

We loved kicking off the holiday season by capturi We loved kicking off the holiday season by capturing adorable moments of families, their pets, and Santa Claus this past weekend! From wagging tails to happy smiles, it was a heart-warming day full of holiday cheer at Dayton Humane & Co - A Resale Boutique. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the magic happen—we loved meeting your two and four-legged family members and creating memories to treasure all season long. #PhotosWithSanta #SantaPaws #CrossPointeCenter #TakeALookAtCrossPointe
