We have had such an outpouring of ticket sales in

We have had such an outpouring of ticket sales in the past 24 hours that we are still printing tickets for today’s Lucky Pet Lottery drawing! For this reason, we are going to push back the live Grand Prize drawing to 3pm instead of 2pm on our Facebook page!! See you all soon!!

✨ Comet, the Sweet Hospice Senior with So Much L

✨ Comet, the Sweet Hospice Senior with So Much Love Left to Give ✨

Meet Comet, our gentle 11-year-old Boxer with a heart bigger than his years. He may be in his golden days, but do not let that silver muzzle fool you, this boy still has plenty of spunk and tail wags to share!

Comet is the perfect buddy for slow strolls around the yard and cozy afternoons snuggled on the couch. He loves his short walks, but sometimes his legs give out on him, so he needs a patient friend to help him rest and get back up when he needs it. His arthritis and weakness in his back legs mean he is a hospice adoption, but that just makes every cuddle and every moment together even more special.

At this age, Comet knows exactly what he wants and that is all your love to himself. He would do best as the only pet in the home since he has become a little selective about other animals in his golden years (and honestly, who can blame him?)

Thanks to a generous sponsorship from The Grey Muzzle Organization, Comet’s adoption fee is completely waived. Our Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital will also provide his new family with one free wellness exam, and he will go home with all his current medication to help keep him comfortable.

This sweet old man deserves a soft bed, gentle hands, and someone to remind him every single day that he is truly loved. If you are ready to be Comet’s hospice hero, come meet him during our open hours or apply at hsdayton.org/adopt. You can also reach out to our adoption team with any questions at adoptions@hsdayton.org.

Let’s make sure Comet’s final chapter is filled with everything he has ever dreamed of. 🐾💛

445 DAYS... That’s how long Begonia has been wai

445 DAYS...
That’s how long Begonia has been waiting for a home. 💔📦
If you’ve ever thought, “She might be the one…” NOW is the perfect time to find out!

Ready to meet Begonia? Here’s how:
👉 Apply first! This gets the ball rolling and connects you with our team. hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs

Once you apply, you can:
🐾 Schedule a meet & greet: Play with her and see if her charm is your perfect match!
🐾 Watch her in action! Begonia trains every Wednesday afternoon with Dayton Dog Training Club. These sessions are usually closed, but we can arrange for you to observe. See how smart and motivated she is!
🐾 Foster-to-adopt: Take her home for a few days. If it’s a match, wonderful! If not, she returns with more experience, and you've helped us learn even more about her ideal home.

What you should know about Begonia:
✨ Fully trained & brilliant: she thrives with a job and knows her commands
✨ Hilarious, playful, and loving: There's never a dull moment with this girl around!
✨ Thriving in foster: She's making great progress, including manners with kids!

⚠️ Only pet recommendation: Begonia does well with other dogs socially, but can be possessive of toys. Because of this, we recommend she be the only pet. However, if you’re comfortable working on this or your dog isn’t interested in toys, we’re happy to arrange a meet & greet to see how things go!

📣 Please share this far and wide! Someone’s perfect dog is right here waiting for them!

Apply at hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs
