🚨 LOOSE DOG – PLEASE DO NOT CHASE! 🚨

We are currently looking for a brown/black Shepherd-Husky type dog that was last seen frantically running in the area of Humes Street and Wyman Street in Webster.

The dog was last spotted in the highlighted area on the attached map.

⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT CALL OUT TO, CHASE, FOLLOW, OR ATTEMPT TO CATCH THIS DOG!

The dog is extremely frightened and running frantically. Attempting to approach or catch the dog could cause it to run further or into traffic.

🐾 WE’RE GROWING OUR VOLUNTEER TEAM! 🐾

Want to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals?

We are looking for dedicated, hardworking volunteers to join our team!

🐶 We’re currently looking for:

🐾 Weekend afternoon volunteers — Helping with feeding, cleaning, and getting the shelter ready for the evening.

🧹 Weekday cleaning crews — Helping us keep the shelter clean, organized, and comfortable for the animals in our care.

Let’s talk about what volunteering really looks like! 🧽🫧

It’s laundry, dishes, scrubbing kennels, sanitizing, sweeping, mopping, and all the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our shelter running smoothly. During all weather conditions.

Our animals depend on clean kennels, fresh bedding, and a healthy environment every single day. While volunteering isn’t all puppy kisses and kitten cuddles, the work you do directly impacts their comfort, health, and happiness.

We’re looking for people who are dependable, take pride in their work, can follow shelter procedures, and aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get a little dirty!

🐾 Volunteers must be 18 years or older and willing to complete our application, interview, and background check process.

You don’t have to adopt an animal to change its life. Sometimes, making a difference starts with a mop and a bucket. ❤️🐾

📧 Interested in joining our team? Email [email protected] for more information!

Please share and help us find some amazing people to join our shelter family! 🐶🐱

🐾 MEET ATHENA — AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! ❤️

Those eyes. Those ears. THAT FACE! 🥹

Athena is a 1½-year-old, spayed female mixed breed who is as sweet as she is adorable!

This girl absolutely LOVES attention, especially belly rubs! She’s gentle, affectionate, and would likely do well with children.

🐶 What about other animals?

Athena has enjoyed playing with other dogs, but when it comes to food, she believes it’s ALL hers! 😂 She does display food guarding behaviors around other dogs, so she will need to be fed separately. She’s had no issues with us giving her food or treats.

Her history with cats is unknown.

🐾 Fun fact: Athena has a little Houdini in her! She’s reportedly escaped wire crates in the past, although she’s been doing wonderfully here at the shelter. Her future family will need to be mindful of keeping her safely contained.

Athena is a young, loving girl who just needs someone to give her a chance. And maybe a lifetime supply of belly rubs. ❤️

📧 Interested in adopting Athena? Email [email protected] for an application.

Please share and help Athena find her forever home! 🐾💕

🐾 MEET STORM — AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🐾

Storm is a 10-year-old mixed breed with a s***ky personality, a sweet disposition, and plenty of love left to give! ❤️

Storm can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a little time to get comfortable, and you’ll discover just how lovable this girl really is. She absolutely LOVES snuggling, getting pets, and soaking up all the attention she can get. 🥰

Don’t let her age fool you! Storm still has plenty of s***k and enjoys getting outside for walks and exploring.

🐶 Let’s talk about other dogs!

Storm has previously lived with other dogs and done well with them. However, meeting unfamiliar dogs can make her nervous.

During a recent meet and greet, Storm became uncomfortable when she felt cornered and reacted toward the other dog. This tells us that Storm needs patience, space, and the opportunity to build confidence at her own pace.

We believe Storm could potentially live with another dog, particularly one with a calm, easygoing personality who will respect her space.

Introductions would need to be slow, carefully managed, and positive, with an adopter who understands that building a relationship takes time. We would also strongly encourage working with a qualified dog trainer to help Storm build her confidence around unfamiliar dogs.

Storm has also previously lived with cats, and based on her sweet personality, we believe she could potentially do well with children, with appropriate introductions and supervision.

❤️ A little more about Storm:

🐾 10 years young

🐾 Sweet, affectionate, and loves to snuggle

🐾 Spunky and enjoys going for walks

🐾 Has previously lived with dogs and cats

🐾 Nervous around unfamiliar dogs and needs slow introductions

🐾 Would benefit from confidence-building and continued guidance

🐾 Potentially a good fit for a family with children

At 10 years old, Storm isn’t asking for much. Just a comfortable place to call home, someone who will give her the patience and reassurance she needs, and plenty of opportunities to curl up beside her favorite humans.

Storm has so much love to give. She just needs someone willing to give her a chance. ❤️

📧 Interested in adopting Storm? Email [email protected] for an adoption application.

Please share and help us find this sweet senior girl the loving home she deserves! 🐾❤️

🐾 KING HAS ONE QUESTION… WHY AM I STILL HERE?! 🐾

King has officially been with us for FIVE months, and somehow, this handsome boy has had not one person asking to take him home!

King is a 1-year-old, neutered mixed breed with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and absolutely no idea how big he actually is.

He’s goofy, affectionate, and LOVES attention. He’s also a strong boy, but we’ve been working on his leash manners, and he’s making progress!

King already knows how to sit and patiently wait for his meals. Speaking of meals…

FOOD. IS. LIFE. 🍗😂

If King could write his own list of favorite things, food would probably take up the first five spots.

❤️ What kind of home is King looking for?

🐾 No small children, please. King is a big, enthusiastic boy who hasn’t quite figured out his own size yet.

🐾 Preferably an only dog. King gets overly excited when he sees other dogs. We would consider a home with another dog if the adopter is committed to working with a trainer on proper introductions and helping King learn to manage that excitement.

🐾 Someone willing to continue his training. King is young, eager, and still learning how to be the best boy he can be.

🐾 Someone who loves a goofy, affectionate dog who wants to be part of their everyday life.

King has spent five months watching life happen from inside the shelter. Five months of waiting for someone to see him and say, “That’s my dog.”

And with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we can’t help but wish that this year, King could spend the holiday in a home of his very own. 🦃❤️

A warm bed. A family to love. Maybe even a little dog-safe Thanksgiving treat. 😉

📧 Interested in adopting King? Email [email protected] for an adoption application.

❤️ Please share! King’s future family might be just one share away.

We are STILL in need of homes for these cats. Not a single person has shown interest. Please consider helping one of these babies out.

🐾 EXPERIENCED FOSTER NEEDED! 🐱❤️

We are looking for a loving, experienced foster home for this sweet mama and her one kitten! 🥹🐾

We are looking for someone who has previous experience fostering nursing mother cats and their kittens and understands the care, patience, and commitment involved.

❤️ Foster requirements:

* Previous experience fostering a mother cat and kittens.
* A quiet, dedicated space where mama and her baby can stay safely separated from other household animals.
* The ability to care for both mama and her kitten until the kitten is approximately 10 weeks old and they are ready for their next steps.
* A commitment to providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for this little family.

Mama is incredibly sweet, and we would love to see her and her baby spend this important time in a comfortable home rather than at the shelter.

Please understand that we are looking for an experienced foster only at this time. We want to make sure both mama and her kitten receive the care and attention they need.

📧 If you’re interested in fostering, please email:
[email protected]

Even if you aren’t able to foster, sharing this post could help us find the perfect temporary home for this little family! ❤️🐾

Thank you for continuing to support the animals in our care! 🐱💕
