Long Term Residents
and Special Needs

Residents listed on this page are in need of an immediate foster home, kennel break, or adoption.

Some of our long-term residents display signs of kennel stress, like losing weight, spinning in their kennel, being hyper-focused on food, or losing interest in everyday activities. For reasons out of their control, it has taken a little longer than we hoped to find their perfect home. We would love to move these residents into a home environment as soon as possible. They are candidates for fostering, kennel breaks, or adoption.

Other residents in need of a foster home or adoption include those dealing with illness, injury, or needing hospice care. While an animal is in foster care or hospice care, the Humane Society covers all needed supplies and medical care for the duration of their stay. We hope you’ll consider giving one of these special animals the life they deserve.

For questions or more information about fostering one of the above residents, please contact Kristi Kleinfelter or fill out the foster application.

Long Term Residents

These residents have been in the shelter for at least six months.  Residents that have been in the shelter six months or more often display higher signs of kennel stress.
