šŸ¾šŸ’› Bret’s adoption fee is just $9.99 through Decem šŸ¾šŸ’› Bret’s adoption fee is just $9.99 through December 6th, and he is so ready to find his person!

If you have been dreaming of a loyal, loving companion who will make you feel like the most important human in the world, meet Bret, our handsome Rottie mix with a heart of gold and a little bit of swagger.

Bret loves people. He will lean in for pets, melt into your lap for snuggles, and look at you like you are his entire universe. He is the kind of dog who bonds deeply and gives his whole heart once he chooses you.

Bret is not interested in making animal friends. He wants to be your one and only, and he will happily keep other animals out of his bubble. If you are looking for a loving companion who also makes your home feel safe, Bret is the perfect match.

This sweet, big-hearted boy has waited far too long, and we know the right person is out there. Someone who wants loyalty, affection, and a best friend who sticks by your side.

Come meet Bret. He just might be the dog you have been searching for. šŸ’› https://hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs/#sl_embed&page=shelterluv_wrap_1701883803017%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2FHSGD-A-23699

šŸ¾šŸ’™ Zazu’s adoption fee is just $9.99 through Decem šŸ¾šŸ’™ Zazu’s adoption fee is just $9.99 through December 6th, and this big-hearted boy is so ready to find his forever home.

Meet Zazu, a wonderfully sweet American Bully mix with a heart as huge as his happy spirit. From the moment you see him, it is hard not to fall in love. He has soft, kind eyes, a gentle personality, and a warm, loving nature that makes everyone melt.

Zazu is a snuggler at heart. If he could curl up in your lap all day, he absolutely would. But he also has a fun, goofy side. He loves stretching his legs in the yard, zooming around with pure joy, and soaking in every minute of playtime. 

Whether he is chasing a toy or simply enjoying the sunshine, Zazu brings enthusiasm and brightness to every moment.
What makes Zazu truly special is the way he connects with people. He is loyal, affectionate, and always ready to be your comfort, your buddy, and your best friend. He just wants to love and be loved.

Zazu can do well with other dogs as long as their personalities work well together, so meet and greets are recommended to make sure it is the perfect fit.

Come meet Zazu. Let him show you just how much love he has to give. šŸ’™ https://hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs/#sl_embed&page=shelterluv_wrap_1701883803017%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2FHSGD-A-24368

Thank You for an Unforgettable Giving Tuesday! Be Thank You for an Unforgettable Giving Tuesday!

Because of you, more than $80,000 was raised to help the animals and pet owners who rely on us every single day. Your generosity isn’t just a number, it is comfort, healing, safety, and hope for those who need it most.

Your gift is already at work:
• Providing essential veterinary care to pets who would otherwise go without
• Offering spay/neuter services that lower overpopulation and prevent suffering
• Supporting pet owners facing hardship so they can keep their beloved companions at home
• Giving homeless animals the second chance and loving families they deserve

None of this happens without you. Your compassion strengthens our community, changes lives, and opens doors for thousands of animals each year.

We often say it takes a community—but you prove what a compassionate community looks like. Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and making life better for pets and the people who love them.

We also want to thank again Jeff Schmitt Chevrolet and Your Miami Valley Chevy Dealers as well as our group of donors who gave so generously to provide our $45,000 match yesterday. With their help we far surpassed our goals for the day and are in awe over the love and support that poured in. Thank you all again! We are so grateful for each of you!
Last call—just 2 hours remain! There’s still time Last call—just 2 hours remain! There’s still time to make your impact go 4X as far, but this quadruple match ends soon.

When you give right now, you’re helping us care for animals and the people who love them. Your generosity fuels every part of our mission—pet adoptions, access to low-cost, high-quality veterinary care, protecting pets through animal welfare investigations, and fighting overpopulation so more animals can stay in safe, loving homes and out of shelters.

And your impact reaches every type of animal who comes through our doors. From dogs, cats and rabbits to farm animals, reptiles, pocket pets and more, you make it possible for all of them to receive safety, care, and a second chance.

Tens of thousands of animals have needed us this year. With your help, we can continue leading the way toward a more compassionate, pet-loving Miami Valley—one where every animal’s life is valued.

You have 2 hours left to make your gift go 4X as far. Give now at www.hsdayton.org/give.
