Meet Bret ❤️ Our longest resident, waiting since A Meet Bret ❤️ Our longest resident, waiting since August 2025 for his forever family. Bret has never met a stranger. He greets everyone with full body wiggles and pure joy. Even though he’s a big guy, he’s completely convinced he’s a lap dog. Start petting him and he’ll instantly flop over, stare up at you with those sweet puppy eyes, and politely demand belly rubs. He’s basically a snuggle expert. He’s also been crushing it in his weekly training classes. Bret loves to learn, thrives on mental stimulation, and is eager to please. And when it’s playtime? He celebrates by dumping out the entire toy box and having the best time ever! We once believed Bret was reactive toward all other animals, but recently, Bret has had several positive introductions with dogs his size, and they went really well! It has been incredibly encouraging to see this side of him. We would still recommend a meet and greet with any potential dog siblings to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident before going home together. At this time, a home without cats or small animals would be the best fit for him. Bret is loyal, goofy, and so ready to give his heart to someone. He has waited long enough. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend, Bret is your boy. ❤️ To apply to adopt Bret, visit hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs Thank you to @dayton247now for helping support shelter animals just like Bret while they wait for their forever homes. 🐾 #AdoptBret #LongestResident #AdoptDontShop #DaytonDogs #ForeverHomeWanted

🔥💥 Turbo at the Front Desk Today 💥🔥 Turbo is an 8 🔥💥 Turbo at the Front Desk Today 💥🔥 Turbo is an 8 month old spaniel mix hanging out at the front desk until 5:30 PM, and he truly lives up to his name. This sweet boy comes with a built in burst of energy and a whole lot of enthusiasm for life. New people? Best day ever. New toys? Incredible. Open space? Time to zoom. He’s great with kids and would thrive with a family ready for puppy fun, playtime, and all the joyful chaos that comes with it. Turbo is not here to walk, he is here to go. And he’s going straight into hearts. If he isn’t adopted today, he’ll head back to foster and you’ll need to set up an appointment to meet him. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Come meet him before 5:30 and catch the Turbo wave in person.

The first tiny mews of the year are here 🐾🍼 Our ve The first tiny mews of the year are here 🐾🍼 Our very first newborn litter has arrived, which means kitten season is right around the corner! If you’d like to help us prepare for the tiniest, most fragile lives in our care, you can shop our amazon wishlist here: https://amzn.to/3VWFuTl Every year, kitten season brings in a large influx of fragile newborn kittens who need around-the-clock care. These little ones are too young to eat on their own, too small to regulate their body temperature, and completely dependent on us and our incredible fosters. Our most urgent foster need is KMR (kitten milk replacement). We also need bottles, heating discs, and unscented pet wipes to keep these tiny fighters healthy. Thinking about fostering? Now is the perfect time to sign up! Learn more at hsdayton.org/foster. We provide the supplies and support. You provide the love. Kitten season hits fast. Thank you for helping us be ready for the tiniest paws 🐱 #KittenSeason #FosterKittens #BottleBabies #KittenRescue #SupportLocalShelters #DaytonOhio #AnimalRescue #FosterCare #HSdayton #fblifestyle
