🐷 Wanted: A farm with room for one very lovable pi 🐷 Wanted: A farm with room for one very lovable pig. Meet Froink, a young pig who's ready to trade life on the run for life on the farm. Froink came to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton after he was found wandering near a set of railroad tracks. Unfortunately, no one ever came to claim him, so now he's searching for a forever home where he can settle in and just be a pig. He's smart, loves snacks, and will happily roll over for belly rubs. But don't let that sweet face fool you... pigs are clever! Froink will need a secure area so he doesn't decide to go on another adventure. If you have a farm and have been looking for a fun, intelligent new addition, Froink might be your perfect match. He can't wait to leave his stray days behind and start living his best life. 💚 🐽 Learn more and apply to adopt: hsdayton.org/adopt/small-animals #AdoptDontShop #FarmLife #PigLove #HumaneSocietyGreaterDayton #fblifestyle
A diagnosis of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) doesn' A diagnosis of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) doesn't define a cat, it simply becomes part of their journey. These incredible cats still love to play, cuddle, and form lasting bonds with the people who give them a chance. At the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, every cat receives the care they deserve, including FeLV testing and ongoing support through the Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital. With a little extra understanding, FeLV-positive cats can enjoy happy, fulfilling lives in loving homes. Stop by our shelter or the MeowZa! Cat Boutique (HSGD) to meet our adoptable cats, or browse available cats online at hsdayton.org/adopt/cats.

💔 There was a moment we truly believed Valor wasn' 💔 There was a moment we truly believed Valor wasn't going to make it. When Valor arrived at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, he wasn't just injured—he was fighting for his life. This sweet community cat had suffered a devastating puncture wound that pierced through his skull and into his brain. Every hour was critical. Our veterinary team worked tirelessly to clean his wounds, manage his pain, administer antibiotics, and do everything possible to give him a chance to survive. Then came the neurological symptoms. There were moments when we feared we were losing him. But Valor wasn't ready to give up. The first time he started eating again, it felt like a miracle. Day by day, he grew stronger. His wounds slowly healed. His bright personality began to shine through, and before long, the cat we once feared we'd lose was asking for head rubs, rolling over for attention, and reminding us why we never stop fighting for animals like him. Today, Valor has just one final hurdle left. Despite months of healing, the fractured portion of his skull has not fully repaired itself. On July 22, specialists will perform an advanced bone grafting procedure to give Valor the healthy future he deserves. The cost of his surgery and ongoing medical care is $8,132. We've made the decision to move forward with his surgery because every animal deserves every chance to heal. Now we're asking for your help. 💙 Your gift today will help provide the specialized surgery, medications, and follow-up care Valor needs to complete his remarkable journey. After everything he's survived, we refuse to let the cost of care stand between him and the life he deserves. Please help us give Valor the happy ending he's fought so hard to earn. 🐾 Donate today and be part of Valor's final chapter. Every gift—no matter the size—brings him one step closer to a full recovery. Visit www.hsdayton.org/donate to give today and support Valor's road to recovery! #HopeStartsHere #SecondChances #HumaneSocietyGreaterDayton #DonateForValor #RescueRecovery #EveryLifeMatter
Meet Toffee Teefers! 🍬🐾 Looking for the perfect m Meet Toffee Teefers! 🍬🐾 Looking for the perfect medium-sized dog? Toffee Teefers might just be your girl! This wiggly, happy lady is always ready to greet you with her whole body! She lights up when she gets attention and soaks up every bit of love she can get. 💕 She’s not just a sweetheart, she’s a smart cookie too! Toffee is currently enrolled in training through our START program with the Dayton Dog Training Club, where she’s learning skills and showing off how eager she is to please. She already knows sit, down, come, and even has some impressive spins and turns! Toffee loves having fun, but she does have a confident play style. When playing with other dogs, especially smaller pups, she can be a little more dominant, so we recommend a meet and greet with any potential dog friends to make sure everyone’s vibes match. 🐶✨ With her joyful personality, loving heart, and eagerness to learn, Toffee would make a wonderful companion for a family ready to continue her training journey. In return, you’ll get a devoted best friend who will happily fill your days with wiggles, affection, and plenty of love. 🧡 Learn more about Toffee Teefers or apply to adopt at: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #AdoptToffee #HumaneSocietyOfGreaterDayton #FBLifestyle
