❤️ Today was a high. ❤️
Here at Henry County Animal Care and Control, things can get emotional. There are highs and lows. There are days that weigh heavily on our hearts and then there are days like today, when we are reminded just how incredibly lucky we are to serve this community.

This week, we put out two pleas for help. And Henry County… you showed up. 🥹❤️
The outpouring of support we received far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Donations came pouring in from our residents, supporters, and incredible rescue partners. Box after box. Towels, blankets, supplies—all given because someone out there cares about the animals inside these walls.

It brought tears to our eyes. Every towel you donated will comfort an animal. Every blanket will give someone a softer place to sleep. Every surgical supply helps us continue providing care and getting animals healthy, spayed or neutered, and ready for their next chapter.

Sometimes shelter work can make you see the hardest parts of the world. But days like today remind us that we also get to see some of the very best parts of it! Kindness. Generosity. Compassion. Community.

Thank you for loving Henry County’s animals right alongside us.
We truly could not do this without you. 🐾❤️

🧺🐾 HENRY COUNTY, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🐾🧺
We are SO incredibly thankful for our amazing community and the way you continue to show up for the animals in our care. ❤️
Right now, we are in desperate need of towels and blankets! With so many animals coming through our doors, we go through an unbelievable amount of laundry every single day.
Those old towels sitting in the back of your linen closet? We want them! 🙌

Blankets that have seen better days? Our animals don’t care! 🐶🐱

They may not seem like much, but clean, soft bedding can make a huge difference for an animal spending their days in a shelter. It gives them something warm and comfortable to curl up on while they wait for their next chapter. 🥹❤️
If you have towels or washable blankets you no longer need, please consider donating them to Henry County Animal Care and Control. Every single donation helps us keep our animals clean, cozy, and comfortable.

Thank you, Henry County, for ALWAYS showing up when we need you. We truly couldn’t do this without you! 🐾❤️

🐾✨ PUPDATE: REMEMBER MEAD?! ✨🐾
Remember Mead? This skinny little boy came into our care with his sibling, underweight and in need of a fresh start. Then an amazing family came along, saw exactly how special he was, and gave him the home he deserved. ❤️

Mead is now Frankie… and JUST LOOK AT HIM! 😭🥹 The transformation is incredible. He looks healthy, happy, confident, and most importantly, so very loved. These are the updates that make every hard day worth it.

His family sent us this wonderful update:
“Frankie has adjusted so well to his dog, cat and bunny siblings. He especially loves riding in the car with his sister and gets very excited if the front door opens because he thinks it’s time to get in the car 🤣 He is already catching onto commands and is doing great on a leash. He has been a great addition to our family and we can’t wait to watch him grow up.”

Happy tails, Frankie! We can’t wait to watch you grow up either! 💕

💗 Meet Naomi, the girl everyone walks past. 💗
Naomi is the definition of wonderful.
She’s around 1–3 years old, and our staff is completely smitten with her. She walks beautifully on a leash. She sits politely to greet visitors. She’s mellow, gentle, and so incredibly sweet. When she sees other dogs, she greets them with happy enthusiasm, like she’s just thrilled to make a new friend.

And yet… no one seems to notice her.
People walk through the shelter looking from kennel to kennel, and somehow Naomi keeps getting passed by. They don’t get to see the girl we see. They don’t see her sitting patiently for attention. They don’t get to feel how easy she is to walk or how quietly she asks for affection.
Naomi isn’t the dog making the biggest scene from her kennel.

She’s just waiting.
Waiting for someone to stop.
Waiting for someone to notice her good manners.
Waiting for someone to ask, “Can I meet her?”
Sometimes, that’s all a shelter dog needs; one person willing to give them a few minutes outside of their kennel. One person willing to see who they really are.

We truly hope Naomi gets that person soon. Because watching such a wonderful dog sit unnoticed is heartbreaking.

Please come meet Naomi at Henry County Animal Care and Control. Even if you’re not sure she’s the one, give her a visit.
She’s been waiting so patiently for someone to choose her. 💗

💙🐾 MEET BILLY DALE! 🐾💙
Y’all… Billy Dale is just an absolute JOY! ☀️
This handsome little guy is only about 5–6 months old, and he has quickly won us over with his sweet, loving personality. Billy Dale is the kind of puppy who seems to think everyone he meets is his new best friend and honestly, he’s probably right. 😂💕

🐶 Sweet as can be
💙 Loving and affectionate
🐾 Does GREAT with others
🥰 Professional heart-stealer
✨ Just an all-around wonderful puppy!

Billy Dale has his whole life ahead of him, and we would LOVE to see him spend it growing up in a home instead of a shelter. He’s ready for adventures, couch snuggles, goofy puppy moments, and a family to call his very own.
Come meet Billy Dale at Henry County Animal Care and Control! We have a feeling this happy little guy is going to make someone VERY lucky. 💙🏡🐾
Please share and help us find Billy Dale his happily ever after!

🎶💕 JOLENE, JOLENE, JOLENE, JOLENEEEE! 💕🎶
We’re begging of you, please come meet this girl! 🐾

Meet Jolene! And with looks like these, what else could we possibly name her?! 😍 This sweet girl is definitely a looker and a show stopper; she could steal your man, your heart, AND your spot on the couch if you’re not careful. 😂

Jolene is around 6 months old, weighs just 18 pounds, and is built like a tiny little whippet. She’s long, lean, leggy, and absolutely adorable. And unlike the Jolene Dolly warned us about, this girl isn’t here to take anything from you she just wants a home of her own! 🩷

She LOVES other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine best friend to work 9 to 5 with… although her preferred occupation is probably professional couch warmer. 😂

She has a Coat of Many Colors and certainly got a personality worth singing about. And we have a feeling whoever adopts her is going to be saying, “I Will Always Love You.” 🎶

🎶 Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Joleeeene… please don’t leave her waiting just because you can! 🎶

💗 MEET OPIE, $80 Friday! 💗
Opie is a tough case. The kind that makes our hearts stop for a second.
When she came through our doors, she was severely emaciated. Her little body was so fragile she could barely stand. She didn’t have enough nutrition to grow. She didn’t have the energy to play.

But her tail?
Her tail was wagging. 🥺

This little girl had been failed by people. Her body told a story of prolonged neglect and hunger. And yet, when she saw the people coming to help her, she used what little energy she had to wag her tail. And we will never forget that. 💔

Opie has gained a tremendous amount of weight and is now 20 pounds and finally healthy enough to be adopted! She is likely 6-12mos old and is dog friendly!

Now we need someone to give her the life she was supposed to have all along. Someone who smiles when that little tail starts wagging.

Opie already chose to forgive the world. Now we hope the world chooses her. 🩷

So proud we are part of this family! Congratulations to all of those promoted and thankful for all of those that serve!
