🐾💚 Meet Ivy – Our Green Bean Queen! 💚🐾

Looking for a loyal best friend who wants to be by your side through all of life's adventures? Then it's time to meet Ivy! 🐶✨

This lovable 3-year-old Lab mix is a total people dog. Ivy absolutely adores her humans and is happiest when she's spending time with her favorite people, whether that's relaxing at home, going for walks, or playing in the yard. ❤️

Ivy is currently working on her fitness goals and has fully embraced the famous green bean diet—and she's loving every bite! 🥒😂 She's shedding a few extra pounds but don't let that fool you; this girl still enjoys running, playing, and having fun outdoors.

✅ House trained
✅ Walks beautifully on a leash
✅ Affectionate and devoted
✅ Loves spending time with her people

Ivy would prefer not to share her personal bubble with most other dogs, though she can tolerate a well-mannered canine companion. We're still learning about her thoughts on cats since she just arrived.

What Ivy really wants is a family of her own—a place where she can finally settle in, be loved, and spend her days with the people she loves most. 🏡💕

📅 Ivy will be available for adoption on 6/10/26!

🐾 Meet Domino – The Cat Who Has Waited His Whole Life for a Family 🐾

Domino is a sweet, gentle, and sensitive 3½-year-old cat who is still searching for the place he can finally call home.

His story began outside as a tiny 3-month-old kitten. After being rescued, Domino came to NHS, where he has spent more than three years waiting for someone to choose him. Sadly, he has never had a family of his own.

Domino is a shy boy who takes time to trust new people. When potential adopters visit, he often hides instead of showing off his wonderful personality. Because he doesn't rush up for attention, he's been overlooked time and time again.

But for the person willing to be patient, Domino is worth it.

Shelter life can be stressful for sensitive cats, and the constant activity has contributed to some urinary blockages. To help keep him healthy, Domino eats a special diet and is doing well. Unfortunately, this has become another reason people pass him by.

What Domino needs isn't perfection—he needs understanding. He needs a calm home, a patient family, and someone willing to give him the time he has never been given before.

Imagine spending your entire life waiting for a family and watching other cats go home while you stay behind. That's been Domino's reality.

❤️ The good news? Domino's adoption fee has been fully sponsored. With an approved adoption application, he can go home for free.

If you have room in your heart and home for a quiet cat who simply needs a chance, please consider Domino. His family is out there somewhere—we just need to help him find them. He gets along with other friendly cats.

Please fill out a cat adoption application and give Domino the happy ending he's been waiting for. https://northwoodshumanesociety.org/cat-adoption-form/

🐱 Volunteer Needed – Monday Morning Cat Room Cleaner! 🐱

We are in desperate need of a volunteer to help clean one of our cat rooms on Monday mornings.

You can start anytime between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM, and the job typically takes 1 to 2 hours—depending, of course, on how many kitty cuddles, head bumps, and purr breaks you get along the way! ❤️

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves cats and wants to make a real difference in the lives of shelter animals. A clean, comfortable environment helps keep our cats healthy and happy while they wait for their forever homes.

If you can spare a couple of hours on Monday mornings and would like to help, please call the Shelter between 11am and 3pm at 715-634-5394 and ask for Lisa or Angie.

The cats (and the staff!) would be incredibly grateful for your help. 🐾

Please share to help us find our next cat-loving volunteer!

🐾💙 Goofy, Sweet, and Ready to Steal Your Heart — Meet Bruno! 💙🐾
If you’re looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, keep you company, and fill your days with joy… Bruno might just be your guy. 🐶✨
Bruno is a lovable, goofy 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart of gold. He’s house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and enjoys spending time both exploring the world and just hanging out with his people. 💛
While he can be a little timid at first, give him a little time and patience, and you’ll see his fun, silly personality shine through. And trust us—it’s worth the wait. 😄🐾
Bruno loves the simple pleasures in life—romping around the yard, splashing in the water, carrying around his favorite toys, and soaking up attention from his people. He especially enjoys being brushed and will happily sit for a good grooming session. 🛁💦🧸
🐕 Bruno gets along with some other dogs
🐱 Is okay with cats—he was actually more scared of the cat he met! He would do well with slow, proper introductions.
✨ Bruno’s highlights:
✔️ House-trained
✔️ Walks wonderfully on a leash
✔️ Loves toys and playtime
✔️ Water lover 💦
✔️ Enjoys being brushed
✔️ Dog-friendly (with some)
✔️ Cat-compatible with proper introductions
✔️ Playful, goofy, and sweet
✔️ Just needs a little time to feel comfortable
Bruno is looking for a family who will give him the patience and love he needs to fully blossom into the amazing companion we know he is. Once he trusts you, you'll have a loyal friend who is always ready for an adventure, a game with his toys, or a relaxing evening by your side. 💕

🐾✨ Fast, Fun, and Full of Love — Meet Curly! ✨🐾
Looking for a loyal companion with a playful spirit and a heart of gold? Meet Curly, a 3.5-year-old Lurcher and former field racer who’s traded the track for couch cuddles and backyard zoomies! 🐕💨
Curly is as sweet as they come and absolutely loves to run—so he’ll need space to stretch those long legs and show off his speed!
🚨🏡 FENCED YARD REQUIRED 🏡🚨
This speedy boy needs an enclosed space where he can safely run and play every day.
But don’t let his athletic side fool you… once he’s had his fun, he’s all about the snuggles and will happily climb right into your lap. 💛
Curly is crate trained, house trained, and a graduate of basic obedience—he knows commands like no, leave it, and lay down. He walks nicely on leash and loves getting out for adventures, no matter the season. ❄️🌞
🎾 Fetch? He’s in.
🧸 Squeaky toys? Obsessed.
❤️ Cuddles? Absolutely required.
Curly does well with dogs his size but is not a good fit for homes with medium to small dogs or cats.
A home without small children is also ideal for him to truly thrive.
If you’re looking for a well-rounded, affectionate, and fun-loving dog to add to your life, Curly is ready to race right into your heart. 🏁🐾
