A Community Where All Animals Are Valued
Audrey Y."The Humane Society of Greater Dayton gave me the best thing to ever happen to me. My Cranberry is my absolute best friend and has been my angel in disguise during some of the hardest times of my life. I have seen her grow into a loving and more gentle pup, and she has been by my side through thick and thin. I could thank you enough for having my sweet girl in there at the right place and time. My life would be so incomplete without her, and I can’t wait to have her with me through whatever life brings our way. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for a friend, for a protector, and for an opportunity to love with all I have and get it back. Thank you, Humane Society of Greater Dayton. Thank you!"
