Selene is a beautiful young tortoiseshell looking for her happily ever after. She greets you with cute chirps and loves any kind of affection, especially chin scratches and belly rubs! She is cat friendly and we think she would be fine with a friendly dog too, with proper introductions. Selene is between 1-2 years old, spayed, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/ FeLV. Her adoption fee is $85 - all inclusive. To meet Selene please apply here: humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/ ...

💔 OPAL IS WAITING… AND HER HEART IS GETTING HEAVY. 💔Senior hound Opal is one of those dogs who makes you wonder how she ended up without the family she deserves. She’s lonely. She’s sad. And what she really wants is something so simple… a person to call her own. 🥺🐾Opal is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. She may be a senior, but she still has so much love left to give.Opal needs to be the only animal in the home, but she promises to make up for it with a lifetime of dedication and her whole, pure heart. ❤️ She would do best in a quiet, calm home with no kids or older kids where she can finally relax and feel safe.Once Opal is comfortable, her sweet and affectionate side comes shining through. She has some quirks that will need to be understood and managed, but with a patient, compassionate, and aware adopter, we truly believe Opal can thrive.She doesn’t need a perfect home.She doesn’t need someone looking for a young, easy dog.She needs someone willing to see her, understand her, and love her for exactly who she is.Imagine spending your senior years wondering if anyone is coming for you. 💔Opal deserves to know that someone is coming.Could that someone be you? 🥺❤️📍 Opal is waiting for her forever family. Please share her story so the person who is meant to find her has a chance to see her.Senior dogs have so much love left to give. Please don’t let Opal spend another day feeling alone. 🐾💔 ...

Haymarket would like to send a huge thanks to whoever sent him and his shelter friends a big box of scratchers!While we try our best to give all our cats daily time out of the kennel, having enrichment items like this is super important for when they’re feeling bored - it also gives them a sense of comfort, having something of their own that will stay with them until they get adopted. Now a little about our special guy Haymarket: Haymarket came to us as a very sick stray. He ended up testing positive for FeLV when he was neutered- which can be an intimidating diagnosis, especially in a shelter.When he was retested for FeLV he came back negative! That means he either fought off the virus completely or it’s possibly only dormant for now, which we want to be fully transparent about. Per our vet it’s strongly recommended for anyone with other cats that would like to adopt him to have their cats vaccinated against FeLV as a precaution. We’ve been monitoring him with our vet’s help for a few months while also getting to know him and our conclusion for his personality is that he’s just a very chill dude. He lounges around and likes affection on his own terms, he has very typical tom cat energy. If you’d like to meet Haymarket please apply here: humanesocietywarrencounty.com/adoption-application/ ...
