Scott County Humane Society - "For Pets' Sake"

12/16/2025

What would happen without Scott County Humane Society? There would be more unvaccinated, unaltered pets in our county. That means there would be more unwanted kittens, puppies, cats and dogs, and more with deadly diseases.

This year, over 500 community pets have received free vaccines. They are now protected from deadly diseases. Over 400 community pets have been spayed and neutered.

You help make this happen. We run on donations and grants, and this could not happen without your help! Please remember us in your year-end giving for 2025. sc4paws.org

🎄☃️ What a fun and festive week of adoptions! Congrats to all our adopters this week! Thank you to BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell for helping us offer discounted adoption fees during 🫶🏽

Little Obi finally went home after a “Home Alone” adventure in the back of PetSmart! 🐈‍⬛

🎅🏼Many of our animals got to visit with Santa at PetSmart—you know they are all wishing for a forever home with lots of snuggles and love!

Thank you to our Board Chair, Jill Nowlin, for helping walk adoptable dogs at the shelter (that beauty is Suzie) and to Aaron Harrison for helping us take Twig the Doodle to Petsmart. He did GREAT and will be available this week! 🐕‍🦺

Don’t forget about Treeing Walker Coonhound, Bonnie. She’s been with us for a long time and still needs a permanent home (and a job!! She’s a working dog!) She’s such a pretty girl and has been sponsored, so just $25 to adopt!

🔔 Ringing into the holidays with lots of special adoptions! Thank you to everyone who adopted this week! We are still enjoying discounted adoption fees thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation through 12/15!

☕️Our sweet Michaella from Central Purrk Cat Cafe had recently lost a cat to cancer. They decided Dale would be a purrfect addition to the kitty family and he found the best home!

Senior cat, Frankie, had struggled to find a home for his golden years. Fingers crossed that this will stick. He will have another senior sibling to keep him company.

Sweet Judith came in as a new mom and found the perfect spot with her new family.

⛄️ Stay warm this week! We will have kittens and cats at the Hamburg Petsmart both Saturday AND Sunday! 🏀 Former UK basketball player, Aaron Harrison, will help with our adoptions on Sunday-come meet him!!
