Miami has a pretty simple wishlist: a comfy couch, a good episode of Bluey, and someone to snuggle with. Honestly, he might be onto something.

This 6-year-old Boxer mix loves kids and would make a great companion for a family looking for an affectionate, easygoing dog. He does have one important request: he'd like to be your only pet. Miami is ready to soak up all the attention, and he's not looking to share his people with another dog.

If your idea of a perfect evening involves a blanket, something good on TV, and a dog taking up more than his fair share of the couch, Miami might be your guy.

Come meet Miami at Chesapeake Humane Society! Learn more about adoption at www.chesapeakehumane.org/adopt

It's Veterinary Technician Appreciation Week, and we want to give a little extra love to the people who keep our veterinary clinic running.

From our Client Service Representatives and Veterinary Assistants to our Clinic Manager and our wonderful LVT, Maddie, we're grateful for the entire team that makes our low-cost clinic possible.

Each year, our clinic provides spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, microchips, heartworm treatments, and illness care for thousands of animals in our community. That's a lot of patients, a lot of moving parts, and a lot of work behind the scenes.

As our Licensed Veterinary Technician, Maddie's job is anything but small. From supporting medical procedures to caring for patients, she plays an important role in helping our clinic provide accessible veterinary care to the pets who need it.

We are grateful to have Maddie and our entire veterinary team caring for the animals in our community. Thank you for all you do!

UPDATE: Adopted!

Let's talk about Henry.

Henry is a one-year-old yellow Lab with the energy of approximately 10 Labs. And before you picture a chunky, couch-potato Lab who spends his days snoozing on the sofa, meet a field lab. This boy has places to go, things to learn, and a whole lot of energy to put to good use.

The good news? Henry is eager to please and has all the makings of an awesome dog. He just needs someone who understands the breed and is willing to invest in his foundation. Think continued training, plenty of exercise, and helping him learn how to channel his size, brainpower, and stamina into good things.

Henry loves other dogs, has a healthy respect for cats, and could do well in a home with older kids. He's still working on remembering that people aren't hurdles to run into or launch himself onto, so a little extra room and patience will go a long way. His previous owner reported that he was crate trained, and we're working with him here on practicing his quiet-in-the-kennel skills, too.

Henry isn't a finished product, but that's part of the fun. With the right person willing to put in the work, we think he's going to be one incredible dog.

Think you might be Henry's person? Stop by the shelter to meet him, or submit an adoption application online and a member of our team will be in touch!

FOSTER HOME NEEDED | Misty

This friendly, shy girl is part of our Crisis Boarding Program and needs a temporary foster home for the next 3–4 weeks until she is able to be reunited with her mom.

Misty would do well in a quiet home with other pets, as long as they're calm and willing to give her the space she needs to settle in. She's also lived with children as young as 2 years, so she has some experience with little ones!

Could you give Misty a temporary place to stay? You don't have to foster forever to make a difference for a pet and the family who loves her.

If you're able to help, please email [email protected].

Yesterday, our Crisis Boarding & Outreach Manager, Nicole, joined Antoinette from H.E.R. Shelter on Coast Live for an important conversation about the role pets can play for people experiencing domestic violence.

For many survivors, pets are family, and concerns about what will happen to a beloved pet can be one more barrier when someone is trying to find safety. That's why partnerships between animal welfare and domestic violence organizations matter. Together, we can help make sure that supporting a person doesn't mean leaving their pet behind.

We're grateful to WTKR News 3 and Coast Live for giving Nicole and Antoinette the opportunity to talk about this important issue and the resources available to families in crisis.

Take a few minutes to watch their conversation:

If you or someone you work with is navigating a crisis and has a pet who needs support, CHS's Crisis Boarding Program may be able to help.

Meet Gretta -
This 5-year-old domestic short hair is a sweet, shy girl who just needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people.

Gretta isn't the cat who's going to be waving you down from the front of her kennel asking for attention. But spend a little one-on-one time with her, and you'll start to see her sweet side come through.

She's looking for a quiet home with someone who is willing to let her settle in at her own pace. She doesn't need a lot of fuss. She just needs a little patience, a little consistency, and someone willing to give her the chance to show you who she really is.

Gretta has lived in a few different environments, including a cat café, and she's been tolerant of other cats. But what she really needs now is a place to call home.

If you're looking for a sweet, low-key companion, come meet Gretta. She may just surprise you.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this month, we're going purple to recognize the people in our community who are navigating domestic violence and the many barriers that can make seeking safety more difficult.

For people with pets, one of those barriers can be what happens to their animal if they need to leave. Pets are family, and concerns about their safety and wellbeing can make an already difficult situation even more complicated.

That's where CHS's Crisis Boarding Program can help.

Our Crisis Boarding Program provides temporary care for pets while their people navigate a crisis, including domestic violence, housing instability, medical emergencies, and other circumstances that may temporarily make it difficult to care for a pet. By providing a safe place for the pet, we can help remove one more barrier for the person seeking support.

Supporting people means recognizing the important role their pets play in their lives, too.

This month, you can help by becoming a Crisis Boarding foster, donating toward the care of pets in the program, or simply sharing information about this resource so that someone who needs it knows that help is available.

Pets are family. Safety should include them, too. 💜🐾
