Huge thank you to our amazing volunteers from @igs Huge thank you to our amazing volunteers from @igsenergy who joined us yesterday for not just one, but TWO incredible shifts! šŸ’™

We were lucky enough to have a morning group and an afternoon group, both bringing so much energy, compassion, and hard work to help care for our animals. From lending a hand around the shelter to giving our pets some extra love and attention, your time truly makes a difference.🐾✨

Meet Cookie šŸŖ Soft, sweet, and just a little bit Meet Cookie šŸŖ

Soft, sweet, and just a little bit shy at first, Cookie is the definition of a hidden gem. Give her a little time (and a few tasty treats), and she’ll melt right into you. Once she trusts you, she’s all about cozy cuddles and quiet companionship.

Fun fact… Cookie is completely toothless! After coming to us as a stray in pain, our veterinary team gave her a fresh start by removing her damaged teeth. Now she’s feeling so much better and living her comfiest life on a soft food diet which she fully approves of. Tuna Churu treats? Her absolute favorite!

Cookie is looking for someone patient and kind who will let her warm up at her own pace and then enjoy all the love she has to give.

Apply to adopt: hsdayton.org/adopt/cats šŸ’›

Thank you to Key Ads for helping support shelter animals just like Cookie while they wait for their forever homes.

FIV can be just one part of a cat’s story—not the FIV can be just one part of a cat’s story—not the whole picture. Cats with FIV can still live long, happy, love-filled lives, and they deserve homes just as much as any other cat. A diagnosis doesn’t define them—it simply means they may need a little extra care and a lot of love.

Take a moment to learn more about FIV and how we test for and care for these cats at the Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital.

Visit our shelter or the MeowZa! Cat Boutique (HSGD) to meet our cats in person, or head to hsdayton.org/adopt/cats to see all of our adoptable cats across all locations.

As part of our new foster pet pop-in, Hammy will b As part of our new foster pet pop-in, Hammy will be at the shelter today until 5:30 PM hanging out at the front desk and ready to meet you. No appointment needed, just stop by and say hi. 

This 6-month-old pup may only have three legs, but he hasn’t let that slow him down for a second. Hammy keeps up with all the fun, all the zoomies, and all the excitement like it’s no big deal… because to him, it isn’t. He’s playful, happy, and completely unbothered by the fact that he does life a little differently. If anything, it just makes him that much more special. 

And just like any good pop-in guest, if Hammy isn’t adopted today, he’ll head back to his foster home… but we would LOVE for this to be the day he finds his forever family. 

Come see for yourself how much personality can fit into three legs and one very good boy. Start your adoption journey here: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs
