We want to take a moment to share our deep gratitu We want to take a moment to share our deep gratitude for another incredibly heartfelt donation made in honor of a loved one. 💛

Ashley Copper generously donated 20 gift bags, one for each dog in our kennels, filled with toys, treats, and cozy blankets. She also included stuffed bears and doggy charcuterie packages, bringing comfort, enrichment, and so much joy to our shelter dogs.

One of the pups who got to enjoy this special gift was Betty, an 8-month-old Shar Pei who is still waiting for her forever home. Donations like this not only bring comfort and happiness to dogs like Betty while they wait, but also remind them they are loved and seen.

After the heartbreaking loss of her 12-year-old daughter in October, Ashley shared that giving back and helping others has been one of the ways she has found comfort during an unimaginable time. This holiday season, she chose to honor her daughter’s memory by showing love to dogs who need it most.

We are also incredibly thankful to the Beavercreek News Current, the @xeniagazette, and @wdtn  for sharing Ashley’s story and helping spread this message of compassion and kindness. By lifting up stories like hers, they inspire others to give, to remember, and to make a difference for animals in need.

Moments like this remind us how love can live on through generosity. Thank you, Ashley, for turning remembrance into kindness and for touching so many hearts, both human and canine. ❤️🐾

Ellis is a 10-year-old sweetheart with a gentle so Ellis is a 10-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and so much love to give. After spending time in a foster home, she’s learning that the world can be kind and that love can be safe.

She has a thyroid condition that’s well managed with easy medication, and while her eyesight isn’t perfect and quick movements can startle her, once she trusts you, Ellis truly shines. She becomes a soft, affectionate companion who gives the sweetest little nudges for attention.

Ellis would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She’s proof that sometimes the quietest hearts have the most love to give. 💕

If you think Ellis might be the perfect fit for your home, learn more about her at hsdayton.org/adopt/cats.

We’d also like to give a heartfelt shoutout to @athertonplumbing for supporting all of the shelter animals, just like Ellis, who are waiting for their forever homes. 💙

❤️🥹 Today, our hearts were deeply touched. 🥹❤️ A ❤️🥹 Today, our hearts were deeply touched. 🥹❤️

A very kind and generous person came into our shelter earlier today with a large donation, lots of food for our shelter dogs and cats, and other supplies. But it wasn’t just the size of the donation that moved us, it was the story behind it.

He shared that he was honoring his wife, who had recently passed. She had always dreamed of helping shelter animals and making a meaningful impact, but she wasn’t able to see it happen. Through his donation, her dream came to life. He told us he plans to make this an annual tradition, continuing to honor her love for animals year after year.

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank this incredible donor, not only for helping our animals stay fed, warm, and cared for, but for keeping his wife’s spirit and compassion alive in such a beautiful, loving way. Stories like this remind us why the work we do matters so deeply. ❤️

Thank you for showing us that love and kindness truly leave a lasting pawprint. 🐾

✨ This holiday season, their wish is simple. ✨ Th ✨ This holiday season, their wish is simple. ✨

The holidays can be a lonely time in a shelter. While many of us are spending time with family, these dogs are still waiting… waiting for someone to choose them, to commit to them, and to love them for a lifetime.

Right now, our shelter is full of dogs who are hoping for something that cannot be wrapped or placed under a tree. A forever home.

We want to be very clear. Dogs are not holiday gifts. Adoption is a thoughtful, long-term decision that deserves time, planning, and heart. But if you have been thinking about welcoming a dog into your life and are ready for that responsibility, there are many incredible dogs in our care right now who would love nothing more than to start the new year at home.

If you are ready to make that commitment, we would love to help you find your match. 👉 hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs

Not able to adopt? Sharing this post helps their wishes reach the right people. ❤️🐾
