The Lawrence Humane Society provides shelter, love, and care to 4,500 animals every year!
Operating as usual
We had a splendid time at Pups on the Patio this evening! We got to hang with lots of cutie canines and chat with great Lawrence businesses while enjoying lovely tunes on the back patio at Uplift Coffee Co! Thanks for a great event, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce!
Sweeeeeeeet Coralineeeeee! *cues audience* DAH DAH DAHHHHHH. She's so good! So good! So good! 🥰
Good times never seemed so good when you adopt Coraline! Come meet this special lady any day of the week from noon to 5pm!
It's called "being cute", look it up 🤪
Meet the utterly adorable (and adoptable!) Jenny. This sweet gal is 14 years young and is on the hunt for a loving family! Jenny's purr can be heard throughout the house and there's nothing she loves more than a brown paper bag to play with. She's a delight to brush while she lays in your lap. She is low-key and easy peasy to care for. Jenny would love for her new home to be free of small children and other animals. Other than that, we believe Jenny will make a lovely addition to any home looking to add a sweet soul to their life!

Lucille was out racking up some Paw Valley Challenge miles walking the grounds of the Lied Center of Kansas - Performing Arts Center today! While there, she met a few avian friends including this Jayhawk AND a goose persistently guarding a nest.
Lucille is back at Lawrence Humane now and there's still a couple hours left to meet her today. Stop by and tell an Adoption Counselor you want to see Lucille!
If you’re headed to the shelter today, you’ll encounter traffic for the Lawrence Swap Meet at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on your way. We still have road construction on 19th St so you’ll need to use the detour just adjacent to 19th St on Harper that cuts through the northern edge of the fairgrounds. Let the traffic attendant at the entrance know you’re headed to Lawrence Humane and you’ll be able to pass through.
Please don’t let the traffic deter you from visiting the shelter today! We’d love to see you!
Whether they take care of humans or animals, make the moms in your life feel extra special by choosing a gift that will make a difference for animals right here in Douglas County with our Lawrence Humane e-cards!

Adoptable Lucille continues to log her daily miles for Paw Valley! So far, so good...even with all the rain 🙄 She told us during our walk she's a huge Jayhawk fan and even though it's been a month, she's still smiling from winning the national championship ❤️💙 Lucille is hoping to find a Jayhawk loving family to call her own - is it you?!
#RockChalk
Woke up this morning feelin' sassy 😜
This is adoptable Brenden - check out all our available animals on our website!
Nala came to the shelter with a huge litter of kids in tow. Now that the pups have moved on to new homes, she's starting to put weight on and show us who she is outside of just being a mom. She's living for herself now and during her photography session, she showed that she likes working for food and gravitates to creatures comforts like a soft fuzzy bed. She's smart and clever and knows several behaviors on cue, making her a fun and easy pup to have around!
Interested in learning more about Nala? Come to shelter any day of the week from noon to 5pm OR email [email protected] for more info.

During the month Billy Jean has been with her foster family, she's been a VERY good girl.
Her favorite thing in the world is going for a car ride but gosh, snuggling up with the small humans to watch TV is a close second. She also enjoys quiet time with a delicious peanut butter Kong and all the chew toys are the best ones! She has learned super good manners such as sitting and waiting for her food, waiting patiently at the door for her leash. She picks up new tricks very quickly and you can tell she's a smart cookie who is very willing to learn!
Billy Jean has a lot of energy packed in a sweet little doggy body. We are so thankful to our foster families who help work through behaviors and offer lots of patience and love to these animals who simply need some structure and training. Billy Jean is available for adoption and would love to be part of your family! Please email [email protected] to schedule a time to meet her!
We had the best time today hosting another vaccine clinic for the pets of Just Food shoppers! We ended up vaccinating 86 animals from 48 households. We are immensely grateful to our friends at Hill’s Pet Nutrition for sponsoring this clinic. And not only did they sponsor it, but Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn, Chief Veterinary Officer at Hill’s, was our veterinarian today! AND awesome Hill’s volunteers passed out complimentary Science Diet treats to all the dogs and cats! What a truly fantastic day!

We had a great time tonight at the Lied Center of Kansas - Performing Arts Center for the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater Tour! Thank you so much for partnering with us and letting us show off some of our babies looking for their forever homes tonight. The pups, Hank & Abby, loved meeting everyone before the show! In true feline fashion, the two orange kittens that came along haven’t spoke to us since we put them back in their kennel since they had to be so social this evening 😉
Meet the members of the "Ready For A Home" club! These sweet baby angels have been in the shelter for over a month (some longer) and are super ready to find their forever homes. If you have any questions about the animals on this post, please email [email protected]. We are open for adoptions every day from noon to 5pm!
PS - will you please share this post?

In the 1940s, Norma Campschrader had a home, love for animals, and the passion to make a difference. With Ms. Campschrader's commitment and vision, the seeds for the organization that would become the Lawrence Humane Society were planted. The organization had humble beginnings. A small house on Indiana Street, staffed by good Samaritans, served as the first shelter facility. Local police brought lost and homeless animals to the makeshift shelter, where volunteers provided care and found new homes for the animals entering the facility's doors. The idea was simple -- the need great. On March 26, 1951, the organization -- then, the Douglas County Humane Society, Inc. -- was chartered, and four acres of land at the shelter's current location on East 19th Street were purchased. Seven years later, the first shelter building was erected. While much has changed since 1951, the underlying values that sparked Ms. Campschrader's desire to make a difference -- passion and love for animals -- have not. Today, the Lawrence Humane Society operates an 18,000-square-foot facility that provides shelter and care to more than 4,000 animals every year and serves Lawrence, Douglas County, and several surrounding communities.
We are committed to placing 100% of adoptable animals into new homes, and have robust medical and behavior programs aimed at providing the animals who enter our care with the resources they need to be happy, healthy, and, ultimately, find new homes.
