From all of us at the Humane Society of Greater Da From all of us at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, we wish you and your pets a safe, happy, and healthy New Year. Thank you for being part of our compassionate community and for supporting animals in need throughout the year. 📅 We will be closed on New Year’s Day and will re-open with normal hours on January 2nd. Here’s to a year full of love, second chances, and happy tails in 2026! 💙🐶🐱
📣 Holiday Closure Notice The Humane Society of Gr 📣 Holiday Closure Notice The Humane Society of Greater Dayton will be closed to the public on New Year’s Day. We will reopen with normal hours on January 2nd. Thank you for your understanding as our team takes time to celebrate the holiday. We look forward to seeing you in the new year! 🐾
All we can say is...WOW! 2025 has been a record-br All we can say is...WOW! 2025 has been a record-breaking year for the Humane Society of Greater Dayton. With 2,910 animals already adopted and one day left in the year, we have shattered last year’s record of 2,491 adoptions, an increase of 419 animals or a 16.8 percent increase in adoptions from last year! We couldn't have done this record-breaking feat without YOU! This milestone isn’t just about the numbers though. Each adoption represents a life changed, a family completed, and an animal getting a second chance. Our foster program also reached new heights, providing more than 205,000 hours of care for nearly 1,500 animals, freeing up space in the shelter and helping even more pets find forever homes. We aren't stopping here though! We still have one more day to keep that adoption number growing! Let's keep them momentum going! There is still time to make an impact in 2025. Adopt, foster, or support the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and help more animals find their second chance. For more information or to see the animals we have available for adoption, visit www.hsdayton.org/adopt.
Meet Keebler 🍪🐾 This 3-year-old boy may be a littl Meet Keebler 🍪🐾 This 3-year-old boy may be a little shy at first, but once Keebler feels safe and comfortable, his loving nature truly shines. He enjoys hanging out in high places where he can quietly observe the world, then curling up in a cozy spot when it’s time to relax. Keebler values his personal space, but he has a soft spot for snuggling up with his brother, Milano, and finding comfort in his company. With his sweet, loyal personality and quiet charm, Keebler would make a gentle and devoted companion for someone patient and kind. You can meet Keebler in our open cat room at the shelter or apply to adopt at 👉 hsdayton.org/adopt/cats A huge thank you to @dayton247now for their continued support of all the animals at our shelter, including Keebler, as they wait for their forever homes. 💙
🐾 Meet Morton! 🐾 This 2-year-old pit bull is all 🐾 Meet Morton! 🐾 This 2-year-old pit bull is all cuddles, big soulful eyes, and playful energy. He loves curling up on a comfy bed and soaking up all the love he can get. Morton’s past was rough, but he’s healed beautifully and is ready to find a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Could that be with you? 💛 Adopt Morton today: hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs Thanks to @dayton247now for supporting Morton and all our shelter animals while they wait for their forever homes! 🐾
✨ Just for the Holidays was a HUGE success! ✨ We’ ✨ Just for the Holidays was a HUGE success! ✨ We’re thrilled that so many of our animals got a break from the stress of shelter life, time to curl up and relax, and some even found their forever families! 🏡 Not only did we have TWO foster fails, but several of our shelter pets received extended foster stays past the holidays! 🐾❤️ While Just for the Holidays fostering has wrapped up, you can still start the new year off right by welcoming a foster pet into your home. Apply today: hsdayton.org/foster We provide all supplies and medical care, you just provide the love! 💛 #FosterSuccess #ForeverHomes #FosterLove #HSDayton #OutOfTheShelter #ShelterPets #FosterHope
