Our buddy, Stewart, has been with us at Lawrence Humane for almost an entire year 🙀 Luckily, he landed an amazing foster family who have fostered him for months so he hasn't been in the shelter environment all this time. Our foster coordinator, Rylee, picks him up from his foster home once a week and takes him to Home Sweet Home Dog Resort, where he gets to romp around with other dog pals (his AND Rylee's favorite day of the week!) We are so happy we have found a good temporary solution for this amazing guy but we obviously want Stewart to find his forever home SO let's do this thing, social media! Let's find Stewart his people!
Stewart loves:
- The outdoors
- Running and playing fetch
- Ensuring no rabbits or squirrels mess with your garden
- Helping you with projects in the garage
- BIG snuggles on the couch
- Playing with other playful dogs
- Humans of all shapes & sizes
Stewart is almost 2 years old, has the coziest fur coat, the best dog energy, and can't wait to meet you and your family. Shoot our adoptions team an email at
adoptions@lawrencehumane.org to see if Stewart is a good fit for you! And if you're not in the market for adopting, how about sharing this post far and wide?! 😁

I didn't realize that Home Sweet Home Dog Resort has photo albums of each month until this morning. So of course I went thru each one and saved all the pictures of Fin. I've always been curious what he's up to there when I take him once a week.
Check out one of our raffle prizes for the pool party! Home Sweet Home Dog Resort was very generous to donate it for a prize! We can’t wait to see everyone there! 😊
In January, we posted about Stewart, a young shephard mix who had become over-stressed at the shelter and was in urgent need of respite in a foster home. A family stepped forward offering Stewart temporary housing where he could decompress and begin to live like a happy, healthy dog with plenty of outlets to explore, play, and rest.
With each passing day, we've seen Stewart become more at ease in his surroundings as he has settled into a routine in his foster home. He quite enjoys outside time sunbathing, playing with his toys, and chasing squirrels. He shares his foster home with a senior dog who he wishes wanted to match his energy level and play with him more (and who wishes Stewart wanted to play less in return). To provide him an outlet for play, Stewart visits Home Sweet Home Dog Resort once-a-week and romps with his furry friends for a few hours and then goes home tired. In addition to his love of the outdoors, Stewart likes to help his humans around the house and fancies himself a project supervisor, overseeing the ex*****on of all household chores and DIY projects. In between play and work, he enjoys a healthy amount of naps followed by more naps. At night he slumbers peacefully with his teenage human. We are so grateful for his foster family for giving him relief from extreme kennel stress at the shelter and restoring his quality of life.
As lovely as this update is--and it is quite lovely--Stewart is ready to make the final move to a permanent home. He's looking for a human (or multiple humans) who will appreciate the love of a spirited dog, full of curiosity and playfulness (when he is not napping of course), and who gives him time outdoors where he can just be a dog. And if there is another playful dog, that would be a BIG bonus.
Our followers shared Stewart's request for help far and wide in January and because you did we were able to give Stewart what he needed. Will you help us do it again so we can finally get him to his last and best home?

Hi! Do you have webcams of the boarding and daycare spaces for pet parents to access? If not, are there any plans to have them in the future at the HSH West facility?
How often do you guys take photos and post? I’ve been looking to see if there are any of our fur babies who’ve been there since Thursday and haven’t seen any 🥺
Listen to some words from our customer Anthony Barnett owner of Home Sweet Home Dog Resort and his advice to business owners!
Thank you all so much for the kind thoughts, and flowers in memory of Lahna! She is definitely missed, every day! ❤️
I've been wanting to let you all know that two weeks ago yesterday, we had to make the decision to let Lahna go. The weekend before that Tuesday, her rear legs just quit working, or she decided that she was done trying. She always enjoyed daycare and boarding at Home Sweet Home for all of her 14 years! I want to thank you all for taking care of my girl all of those years. R.I.P. my pretty girl, you will always be in my heart.
Please be courteous in dropping off and picking up your pup, pulling into the handicapped spot and jumping out with your pet cause you may be in a hurry is disrespectful of the purpose for that handicapped spot and of the ones patiently waiting in their cars who arrived before you. Post inspired by the young lady that did this 30 minutes ago and the increase of experiencing this in the last several months .
