Alfie is the kind of cat who believes YOUR sole pu Alfie is the kind of cat who believes YOUR sole purpose in life is to give him attention… and honestly, he might be onto something...

At 5 years old, this FIV+ sweetheart is incredibly friendly, super cuddly, and always ready to soak up every bit of love you have to offer. He’s happiest curled up right next to you like he belongs there… because in his mind, he absolutely does.

Alfie doesn’t just enjoy attention… he thrives on it. And if you dare to stop petting him? Expect the over-the-shoulder model pose… you know, the one that says ā€œexcuse me, I’m still waiting.ā€ He’ll make sure you know when he’s ready for pets and cuddles, and being around him is just plain fun. If you’re looking for a cat who truly wants to be your companion, he’s ready for the job.

And while Alfie is FIV+, cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives. His positive status doesn’t define him… it just means he’s extra special.

Apply to adopt at hsdayton.org/adopt/cats or stop by to meet him during open hours🐾

Your next test drive could help change a life šŸ¾šŸ’› Your next test drive could help change a life šŸ¾šŸ’›

Now through April 30th, @jeffschmittautogroup  is giving back in a big way. They will donate $50 to support the animals in our care for every test drive taken at any of their dealerships.

That means something as simple as getting behind the wheel could help provide meals, medical care, cozy beds, and second chances for pets who need it most.

It is an easy way to make a real impact, and the animals are so grateful for it 🐶🐱

Yesterday, our Pets for Life team held another dis Yesterday, our Pets for Life team held another distribution of pet food, supplies, and microchips, focused on keeping pets healthy, safe, and exactly where they belong, with the people who love them.

Through our Pets for Life program, we provide ongoing pet support and make sure families have access to the resources they need to care for their animals and stay together.

We’re grateful to @humaneworldforanimals for their partnership in making this work possible, strengthening the connection between pets and people in our community.

It’s Don Gerald’s Foster Pop-In Day! 🐾 Are you lo It’s Don Gerald’s Foster Pop-In Day! 🐾

Are you looking for a dog who checks every single box… and then somehow checks a few more you didn’t even know you had?

Yes, he’s real. We double checked!

āœ… Potty trained
āœ… Crate trained
āœ… Kid-friendly
āœ… Dog-friendly
āœ… Cat-friendly

Normally, this gentleman is only available by appointment, but you can meet him in person today from 1:00 PM – 5:30 PM.

Don Gerald is the kind of dog people swear doesn’t exist. He’s big, but somehow still gentle in every way that matters. The kind of dog who leans into you like he’s known you forever. The kind who brings a calm, steady presence into a room and instantly makes it feel like home.

He walks beautifully on a leash without pulling, choosing to stay right by your side like the polite gentleman he is. He knows ā€œsitā€ and ā€œpawā€ and is more than happy to show off his skills… especially if there’s a treat involved. Don Gerald is smart, affectionate, easygoing, and incredibly well-rounded!

Don’t let this chance to meet such a special dog pass. If he isn’t adopted today, he heads back to foster tonight. Let's make sure today is the day he finds his forever! hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs
