🐾🌧️ ZINGER’S DOGGY DAY OUT 🌧️🐾 If you’ve ever wond 🐾🌧️ ZINGER’S DOGGY DAY OUT 🌧️🐾 If you’ve ever wondered what pure joy looks like… it’s a slightly muddy dog with a cheeseburger grin. Zinger’s day out wasn’t sunshine and blue skies. It was better. It was puddles. It was fetch until your legs are tired. It was sniffing every inch of the park like you’ve never seen grass before. It was treats, a cheeseburger, and confidently strutting through Rural King like he had a shopping list. And for a dog who came from a recent hoarding case, where he lived in filthy conditions with many cats, that kind of freedom means everything. Despite his past, Zinger is gentle, affectionate, and yes, he does well with cats. He could have been shut down. He could have been fearful. Instead, he is playful. Trusting. Ready. A HUGE thank you to @Folded Ear Dog Park for a private visit to their Toy Box and the Orchard dog park. Giving him that space to run and just be a dog made his whole world a little bigger. Now imagine this being your Saturday. Doggy Day Out is just $20 for the day (Free for trained volunteers). You get the adventure buddy, they get a break from the kennel. And if you decide you can’t live without them, that $20 goes toward their adoption fee. Best first date ever? We think so! Sign up for Doggy Day Out here: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/volunteer/HSGD/56504-doggy-day-out Or skip the first date and go straight to forever. Meet Zinger at hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs He’s ready for his next adventure. Maybe it’s with you. 💛🐾 #DoggyDayOut #AdoptZinger #SecondChances #AdoptDontShop #DaytonDogs

💕 Love is in the air at the Humane Society of Grea 💕 Love is in the air at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton! 💕 Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, but our hearts are already overflowing. THREE of our long-term residents are heading home! 💘 Our longest resident rabbit, sweet senior Ebony, has found her forever family and is ready to enjoy her golden years in a peaceful home. Ebony has a few health considerations, and we are so grateful to her adopter for opening their heart to give her the love and comfort she deserves. Senior pets have so much love to give, and Ebony is proof of that. 🐇💛 But that’s not all! Our FIV+ bonded pair, Oakland and Padre, are also going home together! These six-month-old best friends came to us as bottle babies and have grown up side by side at the shelter. Playful, curious, and full of energy, they love wrestling, chasing toys, and keeping each other entertained. Being FIV positive doesn’t slow them down one bit, they’ll continue their adventures in a home of their own. 🐱🐱 Three beautiful lives. Two incredible adoptions. One very happy Valentine’s weekend. ❤️ We are so excited for Ebony, Oakland, and Padre as they start this next chapter filled with love, comfort, and forever families. Thank you to the adopters who said yes to seniors, bonded pairs, and pets with special considerations. That kind of love changes everything.
