Boomer is a 6 year old Akita mix and he might just be the most kid friendly dog we've ever met! He looooves the kiddos in his foster home and gets very sad when they go to school. Boomer is house-trained, doesn't need a kennel because he's non-destructive, and currently lives with cats! He does, however, need to meet any potential dog siblings. And he is at the shelter right now!

Boomer will be at Lawrence Humane till 4pm and his adoption fee is waived today thanks to the ASPCA! If you're looking for a calm, kid-friendly dog to join your family, Boomer is the guy for you!

Autumn is the perfect time to adopt an animal from Lawrence Humane! And this is the ✨ LAST fee-waived adoption special sponsored by our friends at the ASPCA this year. ✨

We've found so many animals great homes over the past few months with these ASPCA adoption specials and look forward to finding even more animals homes this Friday and Saturday (October 30 and 31)!

When you adopt or foster even just one animal, you free space and resources for shelters to give more animals the care they need. When we help one, we help many - and that's !

We're open for adoptions every day from noon to 6pm and have so many loveable animals waiting to meet you! All adopted pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Check out all our animals who are available for adoption by visiting lawrencehumane.org/adopt!

Meet the perfect family dog - Smokey! 😍

Smokey is a 3-year-old pittie mix who loves other dogs and is super great with the kiddos! He is so smart and treat-motivated, which makes him a delight to train! In fact, he already knows many commands such as sit, down, and stay!

Folks have described him as energetic, clumsy, spunky, friendly, gentle, and playful. Here's what a Mass Street Mutt adventurer had to say about him after they spent the day together!

"He was such an amazing dog!! I see him as a family dog and would be great with young children. He’s a very very gentle player, and even though he is big, he does not pull at all! Was so great to take on a walk. He showed so much gratitude towards me for giving him attention and playing with him. A very very sweet dog." - MSM volunteer

‼️Our good boy Sammy urgently needs a foster or adopter!‼️

For many, many months - Sammy has been waiting for a loving home to call his own. He found some respite in a foster home for awhile but is back at the shelter due to travel plans and our poor guy isn’t doing very well with the stress of the shelter environment. We are seeking foster placement as soon as possible for Sammy - can you help?!

Sammy is a hound-spaniel mix who is just shy of turning 3 years old. Sammy was surrendered to us last November for just being a young dog that needed patience and training 🥺 He’s a bit older now and deserves someone who will give him a chance to shine like he used to! 🌟

Sammy is one of our Mass Street Mutts (MSM) superstars and has never met a stranger! Because of his stellar MSM notes, we send him out for an adventure every chance we can. This handsome fella always just so happens to be Lawrence's finest Pup Cup Connoisseur and can tell you where all the best ones are!

He's enjoyed lots of walks up and down Mass St, lunch on the Mad Greek patio, trips to Petsmart, and hanging out at parks. And while Sammy certainly enjoys being active, he also appreciates some quality couch potato time. In fact, many of his outings have concluded with plenty of snuggles!

Words that volunteers have used to describe Sammy include, "Handsome, eager, listener, polite, dignified, gentle, sweet, calm, and cuddly." It's been noted that he really enjoys playing with toys, loves belly scratches, and rides well in the car!

Because Sammy is in such dire need of decompression, we feel it would be best for Sammy to be the only animal in the home and to give him time to feel like himself again.

If you would be willing to foster Sammy, please email [email protected] and we can see if your home would be a good fit! And if you would like to learn more about adopting this deserving guy (or any of our incredible animals at Lawrence Humane), please email [email protected], give us a call at 785-843-6835, or come see us any day from 12pm to 6pm!
