Critterfest a Successful Day!


Lou finds his forever friend at Critterfest in Lafayette. Abby, a young husky mix, who was found as a stray was lucky enough to be adopted by Lou and his wife. Paw Pals volunteers felt fortunate to have four adoptions as a result of this off-site adoption. Three dogs and one cat now have a place of their own to call home.

Wiley is doing well in Canada!


This dog is living the good life in Canada with his buddy Finnagan. It's been a couple of months since the trip to Indiana to pick him up, and I would do it again. Such an affectionate dog with a lot of energy. Thanks again !

Peter LaFerte sent us this update from Windsor, Ontario. Our first update on Wiley had his name as Alex, but it was just after he had been adopted, and Peter must have thought he seemed more like a Wiley! Some of you may remember him as Mick when he was briefly at our shelter. Isn't this a great story?!

An update on Bailey!



Thank you to Ashlynn Davis for sharing a picture and an update on Bailey!

Hey CCHS! I just wanted to show you how much Bailey (formerly Athena) has grown. We adopted her back in August 2008 and she has probably added every bit of 20 lbs! Haha! We love her, thanks for finding us a dog that really fit us!

Lucky Leo!





Thank you to Angelica Ali Bell-Hill for sharing a picture and an update on Leo!

This is our dog Leo we adopted from the shelter in 2003 I believe. He is the best dog we have ever owned. So loyal and lovable. Extremely smart! We love our Leo....he has grown up with the kids and is just an all around great dog! Thanks again!

Chloe, formerly April, is in Heaven on Earth




Just wanted to provide you with an update and some photos of Chloe (formerly April). She is adjusting beautifully and it’s as though she has always been with us. She is very cuddle-y and sticks pretty close by to me and my husband. She loves to go on walks, to the bark park, for rides in the car, and to Puppy Playground. She’s charmed the clients at my office and someone always asks where she is if she doesn’t come with me for the day. Chloe loves her big brother (our other beautiful “baby”) and they play all the time…it is so sweet to watch them together!

Thank you so much for having rescued her; if you hadn’t, we would never have had the good fortune of adding her to our family. We can’t imagine being without her!
*Chloe was minutes away from being euthanized when Paw Pals was called to help save her. Thank God for everyone who came together to help this girl.

Gizmo Grateful to Have a New Home

The kids and I absolutely adore him. He is such a sweetie pie. He took to the house and the kids right away. He looks and sounds much better. I made an appointment for him to see our vet next week. I bought him some canned food and he has been eating and drinking without any problems. He is definitely a social eater as you mentioned. I'll post another update a little later. We love him!!! *Gizmo had an upper-respiratory infection/virus, but his family didn't let that stop them from giving this great boy a new home. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Winnie the Pooch!



Thanks to Dave Quick for sharing Winnie's picture and story with us!

Last Sept. we adopted Winnie, a Lab mix after losing our beloved Dalmatian named Disney. Disney was 13 and had battled congestive heart failure for several years. She passed away Aug. 25th, and by mid September, although still reeling from the loss,... I felt the need so strongly to give "someone" a new home... We are so blessed by Winnie... The grandkids adore her and she loves to romp with them and let them lavish her with love... She is beside me always, and will hardly let me go anywhere that she doesn't at least get to ride along. Here is a picture of Winnie playing with a treat before attacking it!

Big Read Dog Walk


Several people showed up on Saturday to walk their personal dogs or a shelter dog to help promote the Big Read sponsored by the Frankfort Public Library. The featured book for this year is "Marley and Me"- very appropriate for the humane society.

Sharing a Warm Spot

Cocoa and Milroy are both former residents of our Humane Society. We adopted Cocoa in the fall of 2004 and Milroy this past summer. They are both wonderful pets and we love them very much.
