Join us for a walk-in Dog Licensing & Free Microch Join us for a walk-in Dog Licensing & Free Microchipping event for Montgomery County residents. We’re teaming up with the Kettering Police Department and Montgomery County Animal Resource Center  to help keep dogs safe and properly licensed.

Microchips will be provided at no cost for dogs with a valid 2026 Montgomery County dog license. If your dog is not licensed yet, licenses will be available for purchase at the event with help from our friends at Montgomery County Animal Resource Center .

Not sure if your dog is already microchipped? Stop by and we’ll scan your dog, help check or update their microchip registration, and walk you through how to register the chip so your dog can be safely reunited with you if they ever get lost.

A new chapter for MeowZa! Cat Boutique (HSGD) is a A new chapter for MeowZa! Cat Boutique (HSGD) is almost here...

We thought a fresh start would help Theodore find We thought a fresh start would help Theodore find his forever home. But watching him still be overlooked breaks our hearts.💔

Theo came to us from @montgomerycountyarc after becoming a long-term resident there. We hoped a new shelter would help him shine, but he’s falling into the same routine: waiting, being overlooked, and trying to cope.

He’s about 6 years old, but don’t let that fool you, he’s playful, goofy, and full of love. He knows sit and lay down, loves toys, and snorts like a little piggie when he gets excited. Hot dogs instantly make him your favorite friend. And when it’s time to relax, he’s all snuggles and heart-melting kisses.

Kennel life is hard on Theo. He’s barked so much from stress that he’s lost his voice. Most days you’ll find him curled in blankets, tired, quiet, and hoping someone notices him.

Theo would do best as the only dog in the home. He needs a calm, loving space to decompress, play, and just be himself.

You could change his world. Foster or adopt him today. Even a night, a weekend, or a week can make a huge difference.

🐾 124 Years of Paws-ibilities! 🐾 Today marks an i 🐾 124 Years of Paws-ibilities! 🐾

Today marks an incredible milestone: 124 years of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton! Since our doors first opened on January 9, 1902, our mission to protect the animals of the Miami Valley has been powered by your compassion. Because of your generosity, we have grown from a small organization into a dedicated leader for animal welfare.

Throughout our long history, your support has allowed us to be there when our community needed us most. From serving as a vital refuge during the historic 1974 tornado to providing hope during countless other local crises and rescues, you have ensured we remain a beacon of safety for those who cannot speak for themselves. Your commitment gave us the strength to operate as a no-kill facility, maintaining an incredible 98-99% save rate for our animals.

You have helped us expand far beyond a traditional shelter by opening a low-cost Dayton Humane Veterinary hospital in 2021, launching our Healthier at Home mobile vet unit in 2024, and opening Dayton Humane & Co. Resale Boutique in 2025. Just this past year, your kindness fueled a record-breaking 2,915 adoptions and provided over 224,000 hours of foster care. From our humble beginnings to the high-quality care we provide today, every life saved over the last 124 years happened because of you. Thank you for being the heart of our mission!

Help us kick off our 125th year! Whether you donate, volunteer, or adopt, you are making Dayton a better place for pets and people alike. visit hsdayton.org/get-involved to learn how you can make a lasting impact today.

Maui is a beautiful 7-year-old girl looking for he Maui is a beautiful 7-year-old girl looking for her forever home and she is truly something special. She is gentle, calm, confident, and very loving, with the most adorable ladylike personality. Maui is the kind of cat who bonds closely with her people and makes an excellent snuggle buddy. 💕

Her favorite activities include watching birds from the window, relaxing on a tall cat tree, exploring the house, rolling in catnip, and curling up with you for cuddle time. Maui can be a little picky about her cat friends, but she has had kitty companions she enjoyed in the past.

A huge thank you to @dayton247now  for their continued support of all the animals at our shelter, including sweet Maui, as they wait for their forever homes. Your support helps animals like Maui get the love and exposure they deserve. 🐾💙
