We’ve got a whole Pokédex of guinea pigs still wai We’ve got a whole Pokédex of guinea pigs still waiting for their forever homes… and this trio might just be your starter pack 🐹✨ Meet Gengar, Oddish, and Starmie. These three are a bonded squad, which means they’re rolling into their next adventure together. Think of them as your perfectly balanced team: one brings the vibes, one keeps things grounded, and one is just here to sparkle and steal the show 💫 Caring for this trio isn’t quite like tossing a Poké Ball and calling it a day. They’ll need a spacious enclosure, unlimited fresh hay, clean water, daily veggies, and a human who’s ready to keep their habitat clean and cozy. In return? Endless squeaks, zoomies, and the kind of wholesome chaos only guinea pigs can deliver. Not quite ready for a trio? No worries. We also have bonded duos and a few single piggies looking for homes. Your perfect match is waiting 💚 If you’re ready to level up, Gengar, Oddish, and Starmie (or one of their many friends) are ready to join your team! Start your adoption journey here: hsdayton.org/adopt/small-animals or stop by during open hours to meet them in person. #AdoptDontShop #GuineaPigLife #PocketPets #SmallAnimals #RescuePets #AdoptGuineaPigs #FureverHome #hsdayton

✨🐈‍⬛ Meet Cicada… This little black cat with amber ✨🐈‍⬛ Meet Cicada… This little black cat with amber eyes has absolutely witnessed… something. 👁️ We don’t know if he clipped through dimensions or just casually time-traveled one Tuesday afternoon… but we do know this: He stared into the void… and the void said, “bro you good?” 👀 🔮 Did he dabble in cat sorcery? Yes. Did he see something so unspeakable he immediately logged off forever? Also yes. Sometimes he just sits there… like he’s remembering the exact moment the timeline split. Other times, he looks at you like he knows your future… and it involves opening a can of wet cat food. Despite his mysterious, possibly interdimensional past, Cicada is ready to retire from his arcane era and settle down in a normal, loving home. Somewhere safe. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere with absolutely zero portals. He’s young, he’s handsome, and he’s done seeing things he cannot unsee. Ready to give this void-certified, timeline-breaking king the peaceful life he deserves? 🖤 hsdayton.org/adopt/cats A huge thank you to @dayton247now Now for supporting shelter animals just like Cicada the void kitty while they wait for their forever homes. #adoptblackcats #voidcat #catmemes #mysticalcat #adoptdontshop #weirdcatenergy #spookycat #fblifestyle

That car sitting in your driveway could do somethi That car sitting in your driveway could do something incredible 🚗🐾 When you donate your vehicle to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, you are not just getting rid of something you no longer need. You are helping provide food, medical care, and second chances for animals right here in our community. Here is why donating just makes sense: • It is easy and pick-up is completely free • Skip the stress of selling, repairs, and low trade-in offers • Avoid ongoing costs like insurance, registration, and maintenance • Free up space at home or finally reclaim that parking spot • Your donation may be tax-deductible when you itemize • Most importantly, it directly helps animals in need Almost anything with a motor is accepted (running or not): Cars, trucks, boats, RVs, motorcycles, campers, farm equipment, and more. It is simple. It is impactful. And it turns something you do not use into lifesaving support.

Some goodbyes are the kind that make everyone cry Some goodbyes are the kind that make everyone cry happy tears. 🥹 A few days ago, our long-term resident Eeyore was officially adopted! After his first night home, they sent us this update: “You won’t believe how smoothly his first night is going! I was a little nervous, but he’s truly made himself right at home. We’re currently having the most adorable, cozy evening imaginable. He’s all snuggled up in bed right next to me, completely ignoring the TV. It’s such a sweet sight to see him so relaxed and comfortable already!” We could not love this more. Despite his age, medical needs, and a difficult past, Eeyore’s story did not end at the shelter. It began again. This is why we never give up on the long stay pets, the seniors, and the ones who need a little extra care. Sometimes the best endings just take a little longer. Happy life, sweet Eeyore. You were always worth waiting for. ❤️ #Adopted #LongTermResident #SeniorDogLove #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog ShelterDogSuccess HappyTails DaytonHumane
