💙💚 NOT READY TO ADOPT? YOU CAN STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Did you know you can foster dogs from Animal Care & Control through Scott County Humane Society?

Fostering gives a shelter dog a break from kennel life, a comfortable place to stay, and a chance to show off their personality outside of the shelter. Plus, it helps us learn more about them so we can find the best possible forever home!

🏡 WE NEED MORE DOG FOSTER FAMILIES!

You don't have to commit to adopting a dog forever to make a difference in their life. Sometimes a temporary home is exactly what they need!

Interested in joining our foster team? Visit www.scottcohumane.org and sign up as a volunteer to get started! 🐕💙💚

📣 CAN'T ADOPT OR FOSTER? PLEASE SHARE!

Every share helps these dogs reach more people. You never know who might fall in love with one of these faces!

❤️ 10 dogs. 10 different personalities. 10 chances to make a difference.

Let's help our friends at Animal Care & Control find these pups the homes they deserve! 🐾🏡

👏🏽 Seven cats and two dogs found their forever homes this week. Adopting a cat or dog changes their life and can change yours, too. 💙

🐶 Two dogs, Duke and Reese Cup, were adopted from our new Adoption Center. Elise Crisp, one of our dedicated volunteers, devotes countless hours to our dog program. Elise’s dog, Baloo, has helped her foster seven dogs in the last year. Elise herself stated “Duke is great with other dogs too, and he has had no applications. We love him. We adopted him.” By the looks of it, Duke and Baloo are going to be great friends and may help Elise foster more dogs in the days ahead.

🎃 Oreo, Pumpkin, and Titania were adopted from Petsense. In the spirit of Halloween, Titania’s black fur shone against a purple Halloween backdrop in her adoption photo, while Pumpkin’s name seemed perfectly suited for an adoption during Halloween week. On Sunday, Minx found a home through Central Purrk Cat Cafe.

👻 Nala Silvers, Miss Magenta, and Nicki Minaj were adopted at our weekly adoption event at PetSmart. If you’ve ever been to one of our PetSmart events, you’ve probably seen our cats dressed in costumes, thanks to Jill, our Humane Society President. This week, Leah, one of our wonderful volunteers, added to the Halloween fun by crafting festive scrunchies and bandanas for the cats. They looked ready for a Halloween party.

🏠 If you haven’t already, stop by our new Adoption Center at 1376 Lexington Road in Georgetown. We cannot wait for you to see it. We are thrilled to provide our animals with a stimulating environment while they await adoption. You can also meet our adoptable animals at Petsense, Feeders Supply, and Central Purrk Cat Cafe, all located in Georgetown. On Saturdays, we host an adoption event at PetSmart on Pavilion Way in Lexington. Stop by, meet some amazing animals, and thank these wonderful businesses for supporting the Scott County Humane Society.

🐈‍⬛ Happy National Black Cat Day to all who celebrate! For those of us in animal rescue, every day is black cat day as about 1/3 of cats have a black coat due to its dominant genetic coat color in the feline population.

🐾 Foster and owners of “house panthers” love their playful antics and snuggly nature. Visit our website or one of our Georgetown locations to find your own black cat!

📝 “You can’t change a cat or dog’s past, but you can help write their future.” This past week, 20 cats and one dog started writing the next chapters of their lives in their new homes.

🐾 Eight cats and one dog were adopted from our new Adoption Center. Annika, Gandalf, Odette, Kennedy, Mac, Rosalina, Ivy Jo, and Jacob all found their forever homes, along with Mac the dog. Ivy Jo went home with two young ladies who look very excited to shower her with love and affection. Rosalina and her adopter have matching white beards. In fact, we’re pretty sure her new dad might be related to Santa Claus.

🛍️ Tater Bug, Woody, and Skunk were adopted from Central Purrk Cafe, while Hawthorne, Katniss, and Possum found their forever homes through Feeders in Georgetown. House panthers Tater Bug and Woody are both rather large cats, proving that sometimes the best things in life come in large packages.

🙌🏽 Saturday’s adoption event at PetSmart got off to a slow start, but by the end of the day, six cats had found their forever homes: Malia, Dean, Honey, and Lizzie, along with Brooklyn and Kassie, who were adopted together. What started as a quiet day turned into a wonderful one for six lucky cats.

🏡 If you haven’t already, stop by our new Adoption Center at 1376 Lexington Road in Georgetown. We can’t wait for you to see it. We are thrilled to provide our animals with a stimulating environment while they await their forever homes. In addition to the Adoption Center, you can meet our adoptable animals at Petsense, Feeders Supply, and Central Purrk Cafe, all located in Georgetown. We also host an adoption event every Saturday at PetSmart on Pavilion Way in Lexington.

🚙 Stop by, meet some amazing animals, and thank these businesses for supporting the Scott County Humane Society. You might just meet your new best friend and help write the next chapter of their story.

🐶Duke is a wonderful companion dog who has been bounced around various homes in his young life. Because of his past, he can be cautious when meeting new people; however, if you sit quietly, he’ll soon be over to put his head in your lap with eyes hopeful and asking, “Will you be my friend?”

🏡A stable household without chaos or drama is what Duke desires. In foster care, he lives happily with his work from home foster parents and their friendly big dog. Duke is an excellent office dog and he understands that the doggy door to the backyard is used to go outside to potty.

🦴He crates well overnight. He is not a picky eater. He appreciates a good game of stuffed animal fetch or chasing his foster brother around the yard before returning to his office bed for a nap. He enjoys a nice sniff walk and hasn’t ever shown signs of reactivity to other dogs, cats, or people while out on his leash. He’s not a puller and can rate his speed to yours.

🦮When he is unsure of a new situation or new people, he likes to hang back until he’s ready to meet and greet. He is not aggressive, just a bit shy of new people. Having a confident foster sibling has worked wonders for Duke in such situations. He gains confidence readily from observing how an extrovert just saunters up to anyone.

🐾His bark-o-meter is low, reserved for alerting his family that someone new has entered the property. He is not incessant about it, and quits when his person asks. Duke doesn’t seem to have been around many children; however, a calm, mature child who gives him thirty seconds of patience to be introduced will have a furever fan. For this reason, a home with children older than ten years old is recommended at this time.

📺If you allow it, he’d love to be your lap dog or snuggle buddy on the couch during television time. If you’re home more than gone, and you have a nice, playful dog in need of a sibling, Duke may be the one for you!
