Humane Society of Adams County

The Maysville Community & Technical College is hosting a Dog Obedience class from March 29th-May 3rd, 2011. This is a great way to help turn your misbehaving dog into one that listens and responds to your commands. The class wil go over ,”come”, “sit”, “stay”, “lie down” and “heal”. Dogs must be 6 months old and current with vaccinations. The class is limited to 12 and will fill quickly! Please call 606-759-7141 ext. 66120 for more details or to register. Or Email Jessica.mcglone@kctcs.edu . Complete details are on page 4 of this PDF file.

Jade, a husky that injured her front paw in a metal trap, has made an amazing recovery.  She has received treatment for heartworms and will finally be ready for adoption on October 1, 2010.  Hooray for Jade!

Calls come in all the time for dogs and cats, puppies and kittens in need of shelter and love – far more than the Humane Society can accommodate.  By opening your heart and home to an animal in need, you can provide the temporary care necessary to allow that animal a chance to thrive while it waits for the right family to adopt it.  If you are interested in fostering for the Humane Society, please call us at 1-937-587-2727 or email us at adamsctydogs@yahoo.com.

If you are unable to foster an animal, please consider helping in other ways, such as donating dog houses, food bowls, cat and dog food, kitten and puppy chow, paper towels, clorox bleach, clorox detergent, and/or money to help cover the cost of vet bills.

The animals thank you!

Our next RASCAL Unit event will be September 21, for cats and small dogs only.  RASCAL Unit events will also occur on October 21, November 6, and December 4.  For more information, or to make an appointment, please contact us by emailing adamsctydogs@yahoo.com or by calling 1-937-587-2727.

The Humane Society will have a booth at this year’s Peebles Old Timers’ Day Festiva; from Thursday, September 16, through Sunday, September 19.  We will have kittens and puppies at the booth for adoption.  If you would like to volunteer at the booth, or volunteer to walk our dogs or your own in the parade, please call Chris Troutman at 1-513-256-7702.

Rocky - Pet of the Week for 12-28-09

My name is Rocky, after the great fighter, Rocky Balboa. I am a fighter too… well, not a fighter like in fighting, but a survivor. I came to the Humane Society of Adams County with a very severe back injury. I don’t remember how it happened, I just know a nice lady made me comfortable and warm. I couldn’t move for a couple of days but then God performed a miracle on me. I moved my tail, then my legs, and now I can run with the wind. I am told I am a wonderful, gentle spirit, whatever that means… I think it is good! I have been to the vet and have all my shots and also am neutered, no puppies will I produce! I also have had my back checked and I am going to be fine. I take a vitamin supplement each day and exercise. Seems to work wonders. I am anxious to have my own home. Would you like for me to keep you company? My adoption fee is $125.00.

Rocky is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

For more information on Rocky, or any of our other wonderful animals for adoption, please call the Humane Society of Adams County at 937-587-2727
