💗 Meet Thumper! Thumper is one of the 48 dogs who 💗 Meet Thumper! Thumper is one of the 48 dogs who recently came into our care from a hoarding case, and this sweet girl is already showing us just how much personality was waiting to come out. 🥹 Thumper is learning all about the good stuff in foster: playing with dog friends, hanging out with kids, snuggling on the couch and just getting to be a happy pup. She LOVES playing with her foster family’s resident dog and has also been wonderful with their kids, ages 12 and 14. She’s still figuring out some of the basics she didn’t get the chance to learn before. Potty training is a work in progress, leashes are still a little weird, and she’s learning that a crate can be a safe place to relax. But she’s already making progress! ❤️ Thumper has been through a lot of change in a short amount of time, but she’s proving to be playful, cuddly, resilient and ridiculously cute. Now she just needs someone willing to keep showing her what being a beloved family dog is all about. 🏡🐾 Apply to adopt Thumper at hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs #AdoptThumper #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #FosterDog #DaytonOhio #HumaneSociety #ShelterDog #fblifestyle
The forecast is calling for cooler weather, and Th The forecast is calling for cooler weather, and Theodore would like to remind everyone that adopting a 46-pound cuddle bug is significantly cheaper than turning up the heat. 🍂😂 Theo has been with us since November, making him our longest resident dog. And after almost an entire year of waiting, this professional snuggler is VERY ready to put his talents to use in a home of his own. His fall plans are pretty simple: 🍁 Steal your spot on the couch 🎃 Look ridiculously cute in seasonal accessories 🐷 Snort his way through life 🧡 Follow his favorite person around 🛋️ Spend chilly evenings cuddled up Theo loves people BIG and would be happiest as your one and only pet. He’s goofy, affectionate, playful and fully prepared to become your best friend. Sweater weather is coming. Theodore weather is already here. 🍂❤️ Apply to adopt Theo at hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs #AdoptTheodore #LongestResident #AdoptableDog #ShelterDog #CuddleBug #DaytonOhio #AdoptDontShop #fblifestyle
