🖤 A LITTLE PEEK… OF WHAT’S BACK IN BLACK. 🖤
Here’s a tiny teaser of the chaos, cuteness, and questionable amount of black kittens currently hanging out in our kitten room.
And yes… our kitten room is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TODAY! 🐾
We’re open 11 AM–5 PM, so come take a peek for yourself. You never know… you might walk in just to “look” and walk out having met your new best friend.❤️

🐾 Happy Ending: Rocky! 🐾
When Rocky first came to HSDC, he had already spent time at a rural Ohio shelter before making his way to us. Just two days later, he met the people who would change his life forever. ❤️
Rocky went home as a foster on December 12—and by December 17, his foster family knew they couldn’t let him go. They officially adopted him, kept his name, and gave him the forever home he deserved!
Since then, Rocky has blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest boy. He absolutely adores people, children, and other dogs, and he’s gained so much confidence along the way. He even has a canine sister who joined the family in February! 🥰
His adventures have taken him hiking and traveling all the way to Acadia National Park in Maine, Nova Scotia, and North Carolina. Not bad for a shelter dog! 🏔️🐶
His moms say people are always surprised to learn Rocky is a rescue—and their veterinarian even commended HSDC for the excellent care he received while he was with us. That means so much to our team!
We couldn’t be happier to see Rocky living his best life, surrounded by love, adventure, and family. From shelter dog to beloved adventure pup—this is what a happy ending looks like. ❤️

Congratulations, Rocky! We’re so happy you found your forever family. 🥹❤️ ...

🐾 A PAWSOME DAY AT JELLYSTONE! 🐾
We had such a wonderful time at Jellystone Park Columbus North this past weekend! ☀️🐶
We brought three of our adoptable dogs along with some amazing volunteers, giving them a fun day away from the shelter, plenty of fresh air, and lots of new faces to meet.
We are incredibly grateful to Jellystone Park for donating $755 to the Humane Society of Delaware County! Their generosity and support mean so much to our shelter and the animals in our care. 🥹🐾
And a huge THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers who gave their time to make sure our dogs had a fun and memorable day!
Thank you, Jellystone Park, for welcoming us and supporting our mission! ...
