Happy Ever After: Wyatt! 🐾
Wyatt’s story started at a shelter in Kentucky before he made his way to Ohio and found his family through us in February 2023. When his adopter met him, he was scared and stressed, but his sweet personality shone through. One cuddle and a little sigh later, she knew he was special.
Wyatt has become the ultimate adventure buddy, joining his family for hiking, camping, boating, and kayaking. But his favorite activity? Seeing those sunglasses come out and knowing it’s time to take the doors off the Jeep! 🕶️🚙
His family describes him as incredibly kind, loyal, and smart, and they can’t imagine life without him. We couldn’t be happier that this sweet boy found his people and the life he deserves! 🏡💛

Sol has been waiting for his forever home since June 4, 2026, and we think it's time this goofy lovebug got his chance!
This big guy has plenty of personality, lots of zoomies to share, and a serious appreciation for cozy lap time and a good brushing. What Sol needs most is a calm, low-stress home where he can settle in, feel comfortable, and be himself.
Sol has Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), a condition that will need lifelong management. He is on a special urinary care diet and will need a home committed to monitoring his health and keeping his environment as stress-free as possible. Plenty of toys, fresh water fountains, and a peaceful place to call his own will help him thrive.
If you have a laid-back home and room for one very lovable, slightly goofy guy, please consider giving Sol the forever home he's been waiting for.
Come meet Sol at HSDC!

Happy National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!
We want to make sure our staff feels celebrated ALL WEEK LONG, and we need your help! On Thursday, November 5, we’ll close to the public for a special Staff Appreciation Day, but we’d love to make the entire week special!
Here’s how you can help:
• Donate: Gift cards, door prizes, or small treats.
• Help Us Add a Picnic Table!: We’d love to have a picnic table where staff and volunteers can enjoy some fresh air and a place to sit during breaks—not just on Staff Appreciation Day, but all year long!
• Adopt a Day: Sponsor breakfast, lunch, coffee, or treats for our team.
• Share Your Thanks: Send a handwritten note or share how a staff member has made a difference for you or your pet. We’d love for every employee to receive a personal message!
• Get Creative: Have another idea? We’d love to hear it!
Let’s come together and take care of them!
