🥜 Meet Peanut! 🥜

This is puppy energy captured in real time. Cute, cuddly, and lots of energy!

Peanut came to us recently as a stray and surprisingly no one came to claim this sweet boy!🥺 We approximate him to be around 5 months old. Current weight is 28lbs but he’s still a growing boy!

Dogs this young do not thrive in a shelter environment. Being in a home, learning house manners, and learning the love of humans is most important during the puppy stage. So come meet him today and let’s get him in a home! 🏡

MEET MCGEE🐾

This little cutie has been with us since JULY 15TH!🥹

McGee is around 9 months old, which means he’s still very much a puppy with lots of growing and learning to do!

McGee is looking for someone who understands that puppies don’t come fully assembled. He’ll need patience, consistency, and someone willing to work with him on basic obedience and potty training. He’s got the classic puppy energy, but once he gets those initial zoomies out, he settles down and walks nicely on a leash!

🤎 A little more about McGee:
• Good with other dogs
• Does well with kids
- older kiddos would be best
• An active boy
• Looking for humans to help him learn manners

AND did we mention he recently took home the gold in the Canine Aquatic Center Howlween costume contest! 🏆🎃

McGee has spent far too much of his puppyhood in a shelter already. He deserves a home where he can learn, play, make some mistakes, grow, and be loved through it all. 🐾

🛁FREE BATH at Sleek & Savvy, LLC for every adoption through Oct.

🚨🐾 NOW HIRING: 3 HUMANS! 🐾🚨

Must love animals. Must tolerate humans. Must understand that dog hair is now a permanent part of your wardrobe. 😂

The Humane Society of Henderson County is expanding our team, and we’ve got THREE opportunities for people who want to make a difference (and don’t mind a little chaos along the way)!

🐕🚓 ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER — Full-Time

Ever wanted a job where your coworkers might bite, run away from you, or refuse to cooperate?

And that’s just the humans. 😏

We’re looking for someone dependable, levelheaded, and ready to protect animals AND our community. You’ll need good judgment, a strong work ethic, and the ability to stay professional when things get a little… ruff.

👉 Apply here:

🚐🐾 TRANSPORT & PROGRAM SUPPORT ASSISTANT — Part-Time

Do you enjoy driving, staying organized, and having passengers who occasionally bark, meow, or express their displeasure with your choice of music?

GOOD NEWS. WE HAVE A JOB FOR YOU. 😂

Help transport animals to veterinary appointments, support our spay/neuter programs, and keep important behind-the-scenes operations running smoothly!

👉 Apply here:

🧹🐶 ANIMAL CARE SPECIALIST — Part-Time

Do you enjoy cleaning up after others who contribute absolutely nothing to the household bills?

Are you comfortable being screamed at for breakfast, covered in fur, and occasionally rewarded with unconditional love?

Congratulations. You’re already qualified to understand the lifestyle. 😂

Seriously, though, our Animal Care Specialists are the heartbeat of our shelter. This is hard, physical, meaningful work caring for animals who depend on us every single day.

❤️ ALL JOKES ASIDE…

Shelter work isn’t always easy. Some days are messy. Some days are heartbreaking. Some days you go home exhausted, smelling like wet dog, wondering how you possibly got that much hair INSIDE your shoes.

But some days, you watch an animal who came to us scared, neglected, or forgotten walk out the door with a family who adores them.

And suddenly, every bit of it is worth it. ❤️

We’re looking for dependable, compassionate, hardworking people who want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

🐾 Three positions. Countless lives to change.

Come find your purpose with us!

PLEASE SHARE! Our next amazing team member might be on your friends list! 🐕🐈

🐈‍⬛ Happy National Cat Day! 🐈‍⬛

There’s something special about the bond between a cat and their human. A cat person loves their cat even when their cat may only love them when they’re getting fed!

In reality, a cat companion is one of the best you can have! When you get chosen by a cat, you know it’s going to be a lifetime bond. 💕

We’ve got lots of sweet and special cats available at our shelter. Take a moment to come visit them and show some appreciation on National Cat Day!

📸 We want to see your cats! Post your favorite cat pics in the comments below!

MEET ASHER🤎

Asher has two hobbies: making friends and being everyone’s favorite boy. This social butterfly is looking for a family who loves to play just as much as he does! Asher LOVES his people, gets along great with other dogs, and has done well with kids.

He’s still young, we estimate Ash to be around a year and 11 months old. 🐾

⚠️ A little heads-up: Asher is a social guy, NOT a solo backyard guy. Leave him unattended outside too long, and he may try his hand at digging an escape route. 😂 He wants to PLAY, be included, and spend time with his people!

🎃 ONLY $13 TO ADOPT THROUGH OCTOBER! PLUS, every October adoption comes with a FREE BATH! 🛁

🐾 DAYCARE CREW!

With our shelter overcrowded, some of our pups are enjoying a little time at doggy daycare while they wait for their forever families! The good news? These pups are good with other dogs and would love a chance to find a family of their own. 🤍

And October is the PERFECT time to adopt! 🎃 Every adoption is just $13 and comes with a FREE bath! 🛁

Share this post to help our daycare crew find their people! 🐶🏡

Happy National Black Cat Day from Sponge & Ms. Honey! 🐈‍⬛

Black cats deserve love, safety, and kindness just like every other kitty. Sadly, they still face unfair stereotypes and, especially this time of year, can be at greater risk of harm. Today, we’re celebrating just how beautiful, special, and deserving of love they are. 🖤

🧽 Sponge can be found in our free roam cat room! He is about 3 years old and does very well with the other cats in the room! He is quite the unit and hard to miss. Come visit him!

🍯 Ms. Honey is in our intake room! She would prefer no other cats in the home. She’s very talkative and loves to get pets!

💙 A BIG thank you & shout out goes to Give A Dog A Bone in Evansville!

They have once again donated a massive amount
of high quality food to the shelter! And with the number of dogs currently in our care, donations like these mean more than words can express. We’re incredibly grateful for your continued support!

Thank you! 🐾
