What do you get when you combine cake, crafts and What do you get when you combine cake, crafts and a room full of adorable animals? The BEST birthday party ever! If your child would choose a puppy or kitten over a bounce house any day of the week, we've got the perfect party venue. Celebrate their special day at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton! For just $150, birthday parties include: • Two hours of fun for the birthday child and 8–10 friends • One hour of staff-led games, crafts or service projects • A tour of the shelter (when age appropriate) • A party T-shirt for guests to sign and decorate • A meet-and-greet with a shelter animal • One hour of family time for presents, cake and cupcakes Want to go all out with decorations? Bring them! Prefer to keep it simple? That's perfectly fine, too. Families provide their own decorations, cake or cupcakes and party supplies, so you can make the celebration as festive—or as low-key—as you like. You'll have 30 minutes before the party to set up, and our staff will help with tear-down afterward. And while the kids are celebrating, they're also helping animals in need. That's a birthday worth celebrating! Ready to make some birthday memories with furry friends? Learn more and schedule your party at www.hsdayton.org/birthday.
🏈🐾 Honey and Copper are getting called up from fos 🏈🐾 Honey and Copper are getting called up from foster TODAY! These two sweet beagles came to us from the same place and share a similar past. Both made their way to HSGD after being rescued from a large beagle hoarding case. Since then, they’ve been spending time in foster learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. They’re still building confidence and learning to trust, but they’ve come a long way and are ready to start looking for families of their own. And TODAY, they’re both popping in from foster for Tails & Tailgates Adoption Event!🐶🏈 Thanks to our friend Scooter The Neutered Cat , Honey and Copper will have $10 adoption fees, along with ALL of our adoptable dogs and cats over 6 months old! 🎉 📅 TODAY, September 12 ⏰ 12–4 p.m. 📍 Humane Society of Greater Dayton (1661 Nicholas Rd.) If you have a little patience, plenty of love, and room on your roster for a sweet beagle, come meet Honey and Copper today. Or stop by to meet the rest of our starting lineup and find the furry MVP your family has been waiting for! 💙 #TailsAndTailgates #HumaneSocietyOfGreaterDayton #BeagleLove #AdoptDontShop #DaytonOhio #ShelterDogs #RescueDogs #fblifestyle
We told you to buckle up for Eugene's story before We told you to buckle up for Eugene's story before... well, buckle up again and bring tissues for the happy tears because we have an update we NEVER saw coming. 🥹❤️ We thought Eugene was a 14-year-old stray who had somehow survived everything life threw at him. He came to us in February in heartbreaking condition and spent seven long months fighting to get healthy. We thought he was on his own and our job was to find him a family for his golden years. What we didn't know was that he already had one. Long before we knew him as Eugene, he had another name, another life and someone who loved him. His real name is Booger, and he's been missing since 2020. 😭 For SIX YEARS, Booger was somewhere out there while his owner continued searching and never gave up hope of finding him. Then one of your shares put Eugene's photos in front of her. We didn't want to get anyone's hopes up, but the details kept lining up. His age. The little notch in his ear. Already neutered. Even one eye that tends to stay a little "goopy." She shared old photos, and the similarities were hard to ignore. There was only one way to know. She had to see him. She took Booger in as a tiny bottle baby, hand-fed him and watched him grow up. She knew her cat. And when she saw him after six unbelievably long years, she knew. It was him. ❤️😭 When Eugene came through our doors barely hanging on, we had no idea where he'd been. We just knew he was fighting, so we were going to fight right alongside him. All this time, he had a name, a history and someone who loved him, missed him and never stopped looking. Today, after six years apart and seven months of care to get him healthy, Booger is FINALLY going home. 🥹❤️ The cat we thought needed a family already had one waiting for him. Thank you to everyone who shared Eugene's story. You helped Booger find his way back home, and this time, he's going home microchipped, so he'll always have identification connecting him to his family. ❤️🏡 #WelcomeHomeBooger #Reunited #LostCatFound #SeniorCat #HappyEnding #AdoptDontShop #HumaneSociety
Today, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to ou Today, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to our friends at Humane World for Animals. Early this morning, they met up with our team to help transport 19 dogs from a recent hoarding situation where we removed 48 dogs from one home. One by one, these pups were carefully and securely loaded into their van, beginning their journey toward a brighter future in Washington, D.C. Thanks to @humaneworldforanimals and the incredible shelter partners working alongside us, these dogs now have a second chance at the lives they deserve. A chance to heal. A chance to feel safe. A chance to know what it means to be loved. We could not do this work alone. It takes a community of animal welfare organizations coming together to make sure every animal has an opportunity for a better tomorrow. To Humane World for Animals: thank you for showing up for these dogs when they needed us most. Your partnership is helping change lives. And if you're local and wondering how you can help, please consider becoming a foster. Fostering may be temporary, but the impact you make on an animal's life is forever. Learn more or sign up to foster at www.hsdayton.org/foster.
A few days ago, we put out an urgent call for pupp A few days ago, we put out an urgent call for puppy pads following our intake of nearly 50 dogs, and our community showed up in a BIG way. Donations are starting to arrive, and we are so incredibly grateful! We know there are still plenty of packages on the way, but we couldn't wait to give a huge shoutout to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, or helped spread the word. We asked for puppy pads, and you went above and beyond! 🥹 Not only are more puppy pads headed our way, but dog food, treats, enrichment items, cleaning supplies, and other much-needed essentials are en route as we speak. And these supplies go even further than what you see at the shelter. Your donations help us care for the animals staying with us AND provide supplies to the foster families who have opened their homes to animals who need a quiet place to decompress and heal. 💛 With so many animals relying on us every day, supplies get used quickly, which makes an outpouring of support like this incredibly helpful. If you haven't donated yet and would still like to help, we are always grateful for supplies! 🐾 Our Amazon and Chewy affiliate wishlist links are in the comments below. Seriously, THANK YOU. We asked for help, and our community delivered. 💛 #HumaneSocietyOfGreaterDayton #ThankYou #CommunitySupport #ShelterDogs #FosterPets #SupportShelterPets #DaytonOhio #fblifestyle
