Relax with Razz — the cuddle bug you’ve been waiting for! 🤎🐾

Razz is a 4-year-old Hound mix who has completely won over our volunteers. He’s a total sweetheart who loves to curl up in your lap, lean in for affection, and gently place his paws on you for a little extra love.

He’s also an excellent walking buddy—great on leash, a good listener, and already knows “sit” and “down” while working on “stay.” At home, he sleeps beautifully on a dog bed or in a crate. This little cutie has been waiting over 60 days for someone to choose him. Could it be you?

Meet Razz at our Everyday Adoption Center inside PetSmart in Hamburg! Come get your snuggles—Razz is ready to go home whenever you are. 💛

Volunteer Spotlight: Jamee Barton 🌟🐾

Jamee Barton is the kind of volunteer who lights up every room she walks into. With her bubbly, infectious personality, she keeps the Administration Building laughing while making an invaluable impact on LHS’s daily operations. For over two years, Jamee has tackled phone calls, package influxes, and donated items with positivity and dedication, helping keep Admin running smoothly.

Jamee is also an avid event volunteer and a co-teacher for Cats & Crafts, sharing her love for animals and crafting with the community. But if there’s one role that truly showcases her heart, it’s fostering kittens. Over 50 LHS kittens have grown stronger, healthier, and more confident under her care. From bottle-feeding orphaned litters to teaching rambunctious kittens to socialize, her dedication ensures every little one gets the best start in life.

We’re endlessly grateful for Jamee’s laughter, energy, and unwavering commitment—she makes LHS a brighter, happier place for both people and animals alike.

Meet Hagrid — and yes, he really is as big, warm, and lovable as his namesake. 🐾

This 9-year-old Coonhound mix is a gentle giant with a heart of gold and a gift for making everyone feel welcome. He’s easygoing, people-loving, and the kind of dog who brings a little bit of magic everywhere he goes.

With November still being Adopt a Senior Pet Month, it’s the perfect time to let a wise, loyal companion like Hagrid work his charm on your heart. ✨ Thanks to our wonderful Campbell Family Senior & Hospice Program, senior pets like him get the support they need and the second chances they deserve.

Come meet this real-life Hagrid at our Susan M. Malcomb Humane Campus — sweet, gentle, and ready to be your new best bud. 🤎🐶

It's Family Volunteer Day! 👨‍👩‍👧

Today we’re celebrating the families who lend their time, creativity, and compassion to help animals in need — and inviting YOU to join in!

Here are just a few fun, family-friendly ways to make a difference together:

📦 Host a donation drive
Team up with neighbors, classmates, or groups to collect food, supplies, or wish-list items.

💖 Support the animals
Make a monetary gift or choose items from our wish list to help pets in our care.

🎨 Get crafty for a cause
Create fleece no-sew blankets, DIY cat toys (ribbon teasers, plushies, cardboard scratchers), or simple enrichment puzzles from recycled materials.

🏠 Foster as a family
Open your home to a pet in need and help them get ready for adoption.

No matter how you choose to help, it starts with YOU — and together, we can change lives for animals in our community. 💛

💙🐾 Sixty days and counting… Roscoe is STILL waiting for his person. Could his perfect match be you?

Roscoe is a 1-year-old Pit Bull/Boxer mix with energy to spare and love to give! This handsome boy lives for running, playing, and soaking up attention — but he also has a mellow side and can settle in nicely when it’s time to relax.

He’s been available for adoption for over 60 days and is also eligible for foster care if you’d like to get to know him first! Because he’s such a spirited, playful pup, Roscoe will need to meet any potential canine siblings before going home. He’d also do best in a family with older children.

📍 Come meet Roscoe at our Susan M. Malcomb Humane Campus today. He’s ready for his new beginning — he just needs someone to choose him. 🐶

From Stray to Survivor: Mickey's Story 🤍

Mickey arrived as a heartbreaking sight: a tiny, neglected stray with poorly cropped ears, a sweet face, and a spirit nearly broken. Almost immediately, he faced a life-threatening battle with parvovirus, suffering severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.

For days, Mickey’s survival was touch-and-go. He required round-the-clock intensive care, including IV fluids, powerful antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, and hand-feeding—every moment a fight to keep him alive.

Even after surviving parvo, Mickey continued to struggle. A persistent respiratory infection and difficulty gaining weight meant his recovery was far from over. Now in dedicated foster care, Mickey is slowly rebuilding his strength, but he still needs help to make a complete, healthy comeback.

This young pup’s difficult journey is unfortunately not all that unique but underscores a critical truth: saving the most vulnerable animals requires immense resources, time, and specialized care. Your donation today is an investment in our capacity to say "yes" to every animal that needs us—especially the critical, high-cost cases like Mickey.

Mickey is a brave little fighter. Please donate today and help us continue this vital work so he and so many other animals can get a second chance and find the loving homes they deserve.

🧡 Meet the sweetest Cheetoh you’ve ever met!
This big orange lover boy (complete with adorable white socks 🧦) is 12 years young and ready to fill someone’s home with purrs, chatter, and endless affection.

Cheetoh is a snuggly, vocal guy who loves attention and has even been described as playful with other cats, as he came into our care with his sibling, Mushroom. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will happily soak up all the pets you have to offer, Cheetoh is your guy.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month — and we’re so grateful to our Campbell Family Senior & Hospice Program for providing the care senior sweethearts like Cheetoh need.

Come say hello to him at our Susan M. Malcomb Humane Campus and let him talk you into taking him home! 🐱
