SPCA of Hancock County's adopted pets

If you're looking for a lap cat, have I got news for you - I love laps! I'm quite the snuggler and love cuddle time. Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself before I just snuggle up on you, huh? My name is Gracie. I'm a 10-year-old senior kitty who has QUITE the story to tell, and a lot of it is left to be told. So let's sit down, and I'll tell you all about me while you hold me, okay? I came to the SPCA feeling VERY sick. There was even a scare of how long I would last, since it was looking like I was in kidney failure. I was extremely thin and had a hard time putting on weight, and not feeling well made me grumpy. I just did not want people touching me so much, you know? I was so miserable! Then after so long on a special diet and trying some medicine, I started to feel more like my old self, and now I'm back to my lap cat lovebug self. I still need to put on more weight, and I'm being reassessed by a vet to check how my kidney levels are doing, since they clearly had been in some distress. Whether that was due to the neglect I experienced before coming here or something more, we have to find out. I would love more visitors but most of all, I would love to be in a home surrounded by people to love, so I hope my wish comes true, whether that means some wonderful person adopts me or decides to foster me! show less

My caretakers say I'm adorable and love rolling around like a happy little kitty, but of course when it's photoshoot time, I'm a prim and proper lady. I came in as Carol's sister (Carol is in foster and not available yet), though the relation isn't confirmed. The nice people that took care of us before had dogs and cats and say we were good with them. I just wanna make new friends and find a furever home! Judy needs to be spayed and have a rabies vaccine, so she's not ready to go home yet. She's in heat, and it's too risky to send an unfixed cat home (she might escape trying to find a man!) for foster to adopt. We're taking applications on this sweet girl so that once she's ready (early November, most likely), she can go straight home! show less

"Hey there, I'm Alfie! I'm a young and crazy dog that just got to the shelter not too long ago. I went into foster but was too much for them so I came right back... I've had a lot of interest lately but I need a certain someone who understands Huskies and is patient and experienced with training dogs like me. I also need A LOT of exercise and energey outlets before any training will be super effective. They do the best they can for me here... but... I still have SO MUCH energy left!" Alfie is a very sweet boy, but he is still just a puppy at a year old! He has lots of energy and will need a home that can provide him with plenty of outlets to run. He is playful and still needs some pretty basic training, so he should not go so a home with young children as he is mouthy when he plays. When he gets frustrated (we recommend shorter training sessions and ending on a good note with him so he feels confident) he tries to bite his leash or chew on the edge of your coat. We are starting to muzzle train him to make sure he stays safe. Alfie needs an experienced dog owner who understands his breed (Husky). Ideally, his new family or human would be a runner and or avid hiker to make sure he gets outside as often as he needs to. They will need to commit to some serious training for the first portion of his new life at home before the real fun starts and he can truly settle into a new forever home. show less

Mittens here, a rather sweet and innocous name for a giant boy like me! I came here with my sisters, Coco and Nell, who are bonded, and while we're all sweetie and love attention from people, I am much more independent than them and don't really need another pet. I love living in the spotlight! Kids, adults, doesn't matter, I just like knowing people notice me and love me. When I first arrived at the shelter in November, I was scooped right up because I'm so gorgeous and friendly, but there was a Mastiff at that home. And the problem is not what you're thinking. Turns out, I had a lot of fun stalking that mastiff, so much so that he couldn't rest and was terrified of me, mwahaha! They felt bad for the dog and took me back, can you believe it? Well, I would rather be an only pet anyway and have my family all to myself, though I'm willing to try homes with other cats and dogs. Just beware that I am large and in charge! show less

So I know I'm not really most people's first pick - seems like a lot of people want puppies or young dogs - but just hear me out for a second, please, especially if you're looking to really, truly rescue a dog. I'm a really good boy with plenty of energy who loves long walks, and I'm a good boy on a leash too. I'm also already housebroken and will bark to let you know when I need to go out - no need to go through extra training with me! That's the benefit of a sweet older dog: I already know how to mind my manners! I am a little shy at first, and in the shelter with so many other dogs around me while I'm trapped in a kennel, well, I can be pretty barky when you first meet me. But give me a chance during an outside meet-and-greet where I can roam around and take my time to get to know you, and I warm up real quickly to you. Men, women, I have no preference, I just love humans that love me back! I haven't revealed how I am with small kids yet, but the humans are thinking 8 years and up for me. It's hard to test these things in COVID times at the shelter but I don't come with a bite history or anything. What I do come with is diabetes. Yeah. I was surrendered at a veterinary office, so I can only speculate that my former family wasn't prepared to handle that expense. Daily insulin isn't the worst thing, but it does scare some people off. So I try to be super good about taking my insulin shots to make them feel better about it! Then getting treatment helps me feel good and ready for long play sessions, so I don't even feel like I have a health problem. As far as things I don't like, well, there is one ... other dogs! I'm okay at a dog park or on walks, but I don't want to have to live with another dog. They stress me out. So that's a little spiel on me. I hope you'll give me a chance and ask about me soon! I'm a really good boy who can't wait to have a new home! show less

Shhh...... If you're really quiet and gentle then you can hear me purring.. I may look scary with my large pupils and hesitant body language but I'm really such a sweet boy. I would love a quiet home, maybe with some other cats, where I can grow into the confident boy I know I can be. I was a stray before, so fast movement and loud noises scare me. I would like to stay indoors where I know I'm safe and warm. If you think Shadow would be the right fit for your home, please fill out an adoption application and schedule a time to meet him. He may require extra time to settle in at home and warm up but just hearing that sweet little purr makes it all worth it! show less

My name is Velvet, which really suits because I have super soft, velvety fur. I am a really nice girl and pretty relaxed, though I like sleeping under my bed for extra privacy in this shelter. Look forward to telling you more about me soon! show less
