A fantastic group of instructors from the Air Forc A fantastic group of instructors from the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) recently volunteered with us! ✨ They helped us with important tasks around the shelter and made a big difference for our animals. While Volunteering and helping us they couldn’t resist spending a little extra time with our sweet Kira 🐾. She loved the attention so much, they even asked to include her in the photo! 💛 Huge thanks to these wonderful volunteers for helping around the shelter.

Eeyore, our nearly 9-year-old senior, got a break Eeyore, our nearly 9-year-old senior, got a break from the shelter and went to foster yesterday! 

This sweet old man has the calm confidence of someone who’s seen it all. He’s active and curious, yet respectful. He waits his turn, explores carefully, and doesn’t touch what’s not his. Mentally sharp and observant, Eeyore carries himself with the wisdom of an elder but the poise and strength of a lifelong athlete.

He’s friendly with humans but takes a little time to warm up, and he’s completely quiet at a ringing doorbell. He’s managing a skin condition, which seems to be clearing, and while he can’t live with other pets due to a high prey drive, that just means more devoted attention for his future forever family. This noble boy is proof that seniors can still steal hearts, and we know the perfect forever home is out there for him.

If you’re ready to give Eeyore the quiet, devoted companionship he craves, start your adoption journey here: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs

Watch Pickles and Crumble show off their silly sid Watch Pickles and Crumble show off their silly side! 🐇💖 

Instead of chomping their treats, these bonded buddies decided to savor the flavor, one gentle lick at a time. Their goofy, sweet antics are just another reason why their bond is so special, always side by side, grooming, snuggling, and now tasting treats like true connoisseurs.

If you’re ready for double the love, double the cuddles, and double the laughs, Pickles and Crumble are the perfect pair to bring home. 🏡

Adopt these sweet buns together at hsdayton.org/adopt/small-animals

Ever wonder what it’s like to take a shelter dog o Ever wonder what it’s like to take a shelter dog on an adventure? 🌟

Mater recently got to enjoy a full day out, and the couple who took him had nothing but praise for him:

“We did a day trip today. He had the best time exploring the park & giving kisses 😂 This big guy has a big heart! He was content sniffing around, frequently checking in with us. 🥹❤️ Would make a great addition for someone who likes walks and adventures! 🥾🌳”

Mater’s ready for more fun days and maybe a forever home to share them with

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:
