Our featured pets this week are Buttercup and Paige.

    Buttercup is a precious 4-month-old dilute calico kitten. She and her siblings were brought to the humane society because her owner couldn’t care for multiple cats. Buttercup is a real sweetie. She’s cuddly and calm and appreciates attention. Buttercup is just hoping to find her forever home very soon so she can grow up with a loving family!

    Paige is a 5-month-old hound mix puppy with an endearing personality. She has soft brown eyes and long floppy ears that make her irresistible. Paige has a pretty brown coat with lots of white markings. Paige was from an unwanted litter but she’s ready to make someone a special lifelong friend. Could that someone be you?    

    In this week of Thanksgiving, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to all the wonderful people who support the work of the DBCHS. We could never accomplish all that we do without the help of numerous people in this community. Our volunteers wear many hats. They help with adoptions at our adoption center at PetSmart.  They work at our Happy Paws Spay/Neuter Clinic. Volunteers run the Mutts With Manners training program. They serve as fosters for some of our younger animals and they put in many hours each week at the humane society to help the dogs and cats feel loved and cared for while they wait for their forever homes.  

We are thankful for our skilled local veterinarians who provide medical services and adoption surgeries. We thank our very generous donors who support our mission with monetary gifts and donations of needed supplies. With heartfelt appreciation, we hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! 

    Low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter surgery is available for pet owners with low and fixed incomes. Call our Happy Paws Clinic today at (859) 691-1137 for an appointment. Please help control pet over-population by having your pet spayed or neutered.
