🐾 **Big News!** 🐾

We are beyond thrilled to announce that the Montgomery Humane Society has received a $30,000 grant from Petco Love in support of our lifesaving Shelter Intervention Program!

This generous investment will directly help us keep more pets with the families who love them — by providing financial assistance for veterinary care, spay/neuter, pet food, microchipping, and more to low-income residents in Montgomery.

💬 “This funding will enable the Shelter Intervention Program to continue assisting low-income families with their pets, making a significant difference in the lives of pets and their families who are facing financial challenges," said Steven Tears, Executive Director. “We are grateful for Petco Love’s dedication to animal welfare and their commitment to helping pets and families in need.”

Since 1999, Petco Love has invested over $421 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts and helped more than 7 million pets find loving homes. Their belief in our work inspires us every day. 🙌

💙 Join us in thanking Petco Love for their incredible support and belief in our mission to build a more humane Montgomery — one family and one pet at a time.

Snowball wanted us to remind you all that he is still waiting for a forever home! He is 11 months old and 50 pounds. Snowball loves his people here at the shelter but can’t wait to have a place to call his own!

Well Hello there! I’m Yeti! I am a seven-month-old pointer mix that wandered up to a house in a nearby neighborhood. The kind homeowner looked for my owners for a short time, but then decided it was best to call the shelter to pick me up. He knew that I could safely wait for my family to claim me and get food and water while I waited. I was never claimed by my family and I am now ready for adoption. I have all of my vaccinations, I am heartworm negative, I have a microchip, and I have been neutered. I have also been treated for some skin issues with some oral medications and soothing medicated baths! Ahhhhh…..I am a long-legged boy that is bit on the skinny side! I know I will “plump up” when I move to my new home!

PUPDATE: ADOPTED!! ❤️

Hidy do! My name is Shadow! I just know when everyone sees my picture they are going to be rushing to their laptops and sending in those adoption applications! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was found by a kind stranger who took me home with her for three days while she searched for my owners. After having no luck she brought me to the shelter to safely wait for my owners to claim me. Well…surprise! No one ever came for me! I am now available to start a new life with a new family. I have all of my vaccinations for my age, I have a microchip, and I have been neutered. If you want to adopt me, please remember I am still a very young puppy. Make sure you have time to add a puppy to the “fam!”

Hi, my name is Boo. I am a five-year-old cat who must relocate. I had a home that I loved with my owner, but she was moving and I couldn’t go with her. I was really sad to have to make new “living” arrangements, but I have decided to put my best paw forward and look for a new home. I have all of my vaccinations, I have a microchip, and I have been spayed. I am a shy girl, so plan on spending some time with me. I may take a few minutes to warm up to a new person, but I will be well worth the time it takes to get to know me.
