Now through Sunday, November 16th, we have 1/2 price adoption fees on all dogs at Lawrence Humane!! It’s the perfect time of year to open your heart and home to a deserving dog. And boy howdy, do we have plenty of those looking for a loving family to call their own! Take a look for yourself by visiting our website at lawrencehumane.org/adopt! 🥰

We are open every day of the week from noon to 6pm. Adoption counselors look forward to finding you a perfect match! If you have any questions regarding a specific animal, please email [email protected] or come on in and let’s have a chat!

PS - if you aren’t in a place to permanently add to your family at the moment but want to make a difference in the life of a shelter pet, consider fostering during the holiday season!! We are currently accepting applications and would love to see more of our animals in homes over the next two months than in a kennel. We provide everything you need and are seeking placement for just a weekend or a few weeks until they are adopted. It’s a super meaningful way to make a HUGE difference at your local animal shelter. Learn more and sign up at lawrencehumane.org/foster! 💖

And if neither of those options are for you, would you please share this post and spread the word? It takes a village and we thank you for supporting Lawrence Humane!! 💚🩵

Everybody is totally smitten with Nicki! 😍 She has been out on several Mass Street Mutt adventures and is always such a good girl! Here's what one group who spent the afternoon with her had to say: "We had SO much fun! We went to Barker on Mass Street for a pup cup, Lucky Dog Bakery for a personalized biscuit, the arboretum for a lovely fall stroll around the pond, and Clinton Lake for some good sniffs and trails. We were all tuckered by the end!!

Nicki is an absolute love bug! Very attentive to her pack. Very curious and engaged, and friendly. Enjoyed adventuring and riding in the car. She is a wonderful sweet baby girl and will make an incredible companion!!!"

Nicki is available for adoption at Lawrence Humane and would love to meet you! We are open every day of the week from noon to 6pm. You can check out all our available animals at lawrencehumane.org/adopt!💖

Saving the lives of pets for almost 70 years

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.
