Today is an extra special day for us. Not only is Home Sweet Home celebrating its 18 year anniversary, but its also our owner’s daughter’s 6th birthday 🤩 We’re incredibly grateful to be a part of the Lawrence community, serving both its people and its pups for so many years. Your continued support, and the hard work of our HSH family, is what allows us to grow and create more spaces for dogs to be dogs, both for our clients and for our community as a whole. For that, we cannot thank you enough ❤️

Lena, the birthday girl, has enthusiastically decided to forego presents this year and instead host a fundraiser for the Lawrence Humane Society 🐶 If you would like to contribute to this fundraiser, you can use the link below 🐾

Mayzee the Morkie is celebrating her 4th birthday with us today 🥳 She’s a dainty little fashionista that adores affection and is always happy to be held by handlers. Her puffer coat was more for function over fashion because of todays chilly weather, but either way we were loving it!

Happy birthday Mayzee 🎉

It’s that time of year again! With Pooch Plunge happening last week, KU students coming back to town, and other dog-friendly end-of-summer events going on, we wanted to remind everyone to be monitoring for symptoms of kennel cough before bringing your dog to daycare/boarding facilities, the park, or any other events where other dogs socialize.

Leonidas is a registered therapy dog who regularly attends Behavioral Health Court in Douglas County District Court. He has become a good pal to all Court Security deputies.

The Sheriff’s Office is grateful for its partnership and work with the Lawrence Humane Society and its staff on animal-welfare calls in the county. Thanks to Katie Barnett, animal welfare counsel at the Lawrence Humane Society, and her husband Anthony Barnett for this sweet photo.

The women of Home Sweet Home Dog Resort and our sister company, Hair of the Dog (coming soon!!) are our heart and soul. They are the leaders who teach and guide our staff, drive the care and quality our customers have come to expect, manage all the demands of a complex business, and are the strength and ideas behind our our constant aspirations to be the best at what we do. To all of the women and women-identifying people working at HSH, both those pictured and not pictured, we cannot thank you enough for the commitment, care, and hard work that you put into HSH that allows it to be what it is today!

We have been alerted by our veterinarian that Kennel Cough is going around town and has been brought into our facility. As the weather gets warmer people have spent more time at dog parks and socializing outside of our facility, the opportunity for dogs to catch and spread Kennel Cough has also increased. Additionally, with spring break upon us, it will be a busy boarding time for a few weeks.

As always, we are vigilant about monitoring our packs for any dogs that are showing symptoms and adhering to our cleaning protocols to prevent transmission. But, we can use your help. Please watch out for symptoms and if your dog isn’t feeling well, give us a call and consider taking a break from daycare. We appreciate your help keeping our packs healthy!

COURT DECLARES LEAWOOD, KANSAS PIT BULL BAN UNCONSTITUTIONAL

In 2017, an adorable black and white puppy was adopted to a loving family living in Kansas City, Missouri, who named her Lucy. Shortly thereafter, the family relocated to the neighboring suburb of Leawood, Kansas, where they bought a home and settled into their neighborhood. A couple years later, amidst the start of a global pandemic, Leawood, KS, animal control officers issued a citation to the family for owning a “dangerous animal.” But Lucy didn’t do anything dangerous at all; she was merely identified by Leawood Animal Control as looking too much like a “pit bull” and Leawood bans “pit bull” looking dogs. Lucy’s family retained Barnett Law Office and Thompson-Hall to fight the City of Leawood for her right to keep her beloved Lucy.

On January 14, 2022, the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss, declaring Leawood’s pit bull ban unconstitutional on its face and as it was applied to Lucy.

To learn more about this judgment, and what it means for the City of Leawood, check out the link below:

Happy New Year from HSH 🎉 We want to thank each and everyone one of you who follow us, our clients, and the people of Lawrence for supporting us this past year.
⠀
Getting our Wakarusa location up and running was a huge accomplishment and one we could not have done without you, and certainly not without our incredible staff who works so hard to take amazing care of all of our dogs. The heart of Home Sweet Home is the people who trust us with the care of their beloved dogs and the workers who come here every day to deliver that care. We have more growth and plans on the horizon and we are excited to share as they come to fruition. We are grateful for last year, and excited about the next 🤩

Back at work!

We are delighted that Leonidas the Amazing 3-Legged Dog will become a regular member of the Behavioral Health Court team! Research shows that animal therapy can benefit people who face behavioral health challenges – just petting a dog can release endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” transmitters. And the benefits go much deeper than that. Our office enjoyed meeting Leonidas last summer.

Bandit got in a little extra time with his pack leader today for a game of fetch! One-on-one time with the dogs is one of our favorite parts of this job!

A little fun in the snow! ❄️ 🐶 ☀️

Here's 15 seconds of cuteness with one of our newest daycare friends, Rex the Chiweenie puppy.

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?! 😁

We are BEYOND excited for tomorrow's Pool Party, in the WOODS!🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️ Please join us at our Community's Pool between 12 and 4pm tomorrow! 🥳 There will be food and drinks as well as MANY prizes.🤑 Lawrence Pet Friends and Less is More Lawrence will have a booth as well! 😁 We cannot wait to see everyone tomorrow!

Thank you to our sponsors: Midwest Painting and Resurfacing, LLC , FASTSIGNS, Jayhawk Trophy, Gastons Lawn and Landscape, EPIC Landscape Productions, Cloud Heating & Air Conditioning, D & B Carpet Cleaning, and Home Sweet Home Dog Resort! We appreciate all of you and couldn't do it without you!

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?

Happy National Pizza Day! We got to visit some of our favorite small local businesses today. Thank you Downtown Lawrence, Wakarusa Veterinary Hospital, Home Sweet Home Dog Resort, Lawrence Veterinary Hospital, Gentle Care Animal Hospital, The Dusty Bookshelf - Lawrence, Raven Book Store, Guitarma, Love Garden Sounds, & Supersonic Music - Lawrence - We hope you all enjoyed your pizzas! Thank you for all that you do for the Lawrence community.

Just wanted to thank you guys for taking care of my little buddies while I was unexpectedly hospitalized. You are the best. I left a bag of dog food to make up for what you provided.

Grayson made his return to daycare today after cutting his foot in our yard and a bad reaction to antibiotics. He was soooo excited and now dreaming of his fun afternoon.

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 .
