We're still smiling from ReCreate Church Camp! A massive thank you to our incredible volunteers Kathy, Tommy, Terri, Kevin, Melissa, and Skip for leading such an engaging dog safety lesson.

It was so special to see the kids put their new knowledge into practice with the sweet dogs from Animal Harbor. And of course the dogs loved all the attention outside the shelter!

And a huge shoutout to @tailsthatteach Tails that Teach for their book grant, ensuring every camper received their very own copy of "Love Me Gently" to take home! ❤️

It breaks our hearts to say this, but we have a number of incredible dogs who have been with us for nearly a year—or even longer! These sweet, deserving pups are quite literally growing up in our shelter, and while we shower them with love, medical care, and attention, a kennel is no place for a dog to live out their life.

We've never had so many long-term residents at once, and it's a tough reality to face. Each of these girls (and one special boy!) dreams of a cozy sofa, a yard to play in, and a family to call their own. They've waited patiently, and now it's time for their dreams to come true.

This past weekend was truly lifesaving for local homeless animals. Our small but mighty transport team divided and conquered, heading in three different directions 🧭 on Friday and Saturday to get animals to safety. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and so thankful to finally have the resources to say "yes" to these vital transports.

We were happy to aid RUFF in transporting some of their own dogs to new beginnings 🎉. All of these precious babies were welcomed with open, loving arms by their receiving rescues.

Because of this incredible teamwork, 10 dogs and 2 cats now have a second chance at an amazing life! ❤️🐾

This amazing group of folks definitely goes the extra mile for animals in need.

This little rascal! 🐾

From being dumped to finding safety with an emergency foster Jessica, then waiting for his northern foster in Wisconsin after a long transport journey— his story highlights the incredible effort behind every rescue mission.

We might make rescue look easy, but don't let that fool you. It's truly in-the-trenches, dirty, and emotional work.

It takes a village of do-gooders to overcome the challenges.

From caring citizens and dedicated employees to tireless volunteers, generous donors, and essential rescue partners, so much happens behind the scenes to ensure these lifesaving outcomes continue daily.

We need more "DO GOODers" like you. Ready to make a difference? Connect with us!

We have wonderful news about Symphony, our brave mastitis momma! With the efforts of our dedicated kennel and wellness staff at Animal Harbor, she's made a remarkable recovery.

Their attentive care and consistent application of scarlet oil have brought about a complete turnaround in her health. It's truly inspiring to see her transformation! We're now hopeful this sweet girl will find a loving forever home where she can leave her painful past far behind.

A heartfelt thank you to our wellness and kennel tech team for their extraordinary attention to the care of our most vulnerable animals.

This is the essence of rescue: providing a lifeline of care and protection. It's a gift to these precious animals, and it's our incredible community of givers who make every bit of it possible. ❤️

Please define your Meet your Match adoption protocol⁉️We are thrilled to share 🗣️

Thinking about adding a furry friend to your family? At Animal Harbor, we believe in making lasting matches, and that's exactly why our "Meet Your Match" program is so incredibly important!

Why is "Meet Your Match" crucial? It's simple: To keep YOU, the public, and our beloved pets safe and happy IN their forever homes.

We've all heard stories of adoptions that didn't quite work out. Our "Meet Your Match" protocol is designed to prevent that heartbreak. Here's how it works:

📋Tailored Testing: Every single dog in our facility undergoes thorough behavioral assessments. We get to know their personalities, energy levels, and unique quirks inside and out.

👨‍👩‍👧 Understanding Your Family: We take the time to understand your lifestyle, living situation, experience with pets, and what you're looking for in a canine companion. Do you have kids? Other pets? Are you an active adventurer or a cozy homebody?

🐾❤️ The Perfect Fit: By combining our deep understanding of our dogs with a clear picture of your family dynamic, we can recommend dogs that truly fit your needs and vice-versa.

This system WORKS! It works for the public by helping you find a dog that seamlessly integrates into your life, bringing joy and companionship for years to come. And equally important, it WORKS for our dogs! It ensures they go to homes where they will thrive, be understood, and receive the love and care they deserve.

Ready to find your perfect match? Learn more about our adoption process and how "Meet Your Match" can help you welcome your new best friend!

🚨 URGENT: We've Reached Our Limit! 🚨

With over 80 cats and kittens currently in our care, we've had to make the incredibly difficult decision to temporarily close our cat intake. This means we're heartbreakingly turning away cats and kittens who desperately need help. Our space and resources are stretched to their absolute maximum.

We hate doing this more than anything, but we need your help to create movement and open up space for those in need.

Here's how YOU can make an immediate difference:

🏠 Adopt: If you're ready to open your home to a loving cat or kitten, now is the time! Even if you can't adopt, please share our adoptable animals with your friends and family.

🚫 Spay/Neuter & TNR: Continue to participate in and but promote our spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. This is the single most proactive step we can take as a community to combat overpopulation.

📣 Spread Positivity: Our team is working tirelessly, and your encouragement means the world. Their passion drives them, but the emotional toll of this work is significant, especially when faced with negativity. Nothing impacts morale more than feeling misunderstood or criticized when giving their absolute best.

This is your community, and these are your animals. Let's rally together and demand better for them. There is hope, and it starts with us working together!

We ask for your compassion and support. Please take a moment to share positive stories, offer words of encouragement, and highlight the incredible dedication of our team. Your positive messages not only lift spirits but also help us continue to build a supportive community for the animals who need us most.

Another wonderful water day with some of our long-term girls! Arya, Gisele, and Lettie have been with us for over a year, and they've mastered all their basic commands and leash training.

Now, they're ready for their forever homes. We're so happy to provide a temporary home and a break from kennel life, but they truly belong on couches, not in kennels.

At Animal Harbor, we believe that true animal welfare extends beyond our shelter walls. It's about fostering a community where compassion for all living beings thrives, and that starts with education!

That's why we were so thrilled to participate in the "Donuts with Dudes" event today! Our dedicated staff members, Emily and Krystina, joined by our stellar canine ambassador, Freya ⭐, had a wonderful time connecting with the community. Their mission? To educate the children on safe and positive interactions with new dogs.

Every child left with their very own copy of "Love Me Gently," a special book dedicated to teaching them how to care for their dog companions with kindness and respect. Seeing their excited faces and knowing they're learning invaluable lessons warmed our hearts!

We are incredibly grateful for these opportunities. Instilling compassion and empathy towards animals in our youth, especially here in Franklin County, is at the core of our mission. We firmly believe in the transformative power of humane education.

Humane education isn't just about teaching kids to be nice to animals; it's about nurturing well-rounded, responsible, and empathetic individuals. When children learn to understand and respect animals, they develop a broader sense of empathy that extends to their peers, their community, and even the environment. It helps build a foundation for a more compassionate and just society for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today! Your engagement helps us build a brighter, kinder future for both people and pets in our community.

Imagine growing up without a place to truly call your own. That's the reality for some of our most special girls at Animal Harbor. Many of them have been with us since they were puppies, and while our dedicated staff and volunteers have showered them with love, it breaks our hearts that they've known shelter life as their only home.

But here's the beautiful truth: these girls know love. They've blossomed into wonderful companions, thanks to the constant care and affection they've received. They're not just shelter dogs; they're cherished members of our Animal Harbor family.

And they're smart cookies 🍪 too! Every one of our long-term ladies is fully vetted, knows basic commands, and walks exceptionally on a leash. Their only "flaw" is one that can be easily fixed by a kind heart and an open home: they've never had a real home of their own.

If you have the heart and the space to welcome one of these incredible girls into your family, you'll be giving them the greatest gift they've ever known: a forever home filled with love, comfort, and all the joy they deserve.

Our dearest little William Shakespeare, a charming orange tabby with a spirit as grand as his namesake, has found his forever home! 🐾🏡

He's joined the vibrant and loving Crawford family, where he's sure to be showered with endless cuddles, playful adventures, and all the sunny naps a kitten could ever dream of.

Animal Harbor's first pool pawty 🐾 for the summer was a huge success. Seriously! Even when the splash pad pulled a dramatic, unexpected exit, volunteer Skip came to the rescue like a caped crusader, whipping up a replacement faster than you can say "wet dog."

The party was back on, and everyone was so wiped out by the end!

What an incredible day for our furry friends! We're bursting with gratitude after two truly successful community events today.

First, a huge thank you to the Nissan employees who joined us for a private pack walk. Our dogs absolutely loved exploring and getting some extra outdoor enrichment with such enthusiastic company!

Then, we hosted our very first Paws and Pages event at the shelter, and it was a purr-fect success! Kids and adults alike enjoyed reading to our cats, meeting new people, and giving our feline residents some much-deserved attention.

The cats and dogs both shone in the best light possible today, soaking up all the love.

Both events provided a whole lot of extra enrichment for our animals, and we're feeling incredibly grateful for the support of our amazing community. Thank you for making days like today possible and for helping our animals thrive!

Two years ago, Anna came to us completely shut down. She'd been through a lot and was so afraid of humans that she was a bite risk. A shelter environment simply wouldn't have been safe for her. That's when Sally, an incredible foster, stepped up without hesitation.

With Sally, Anna slowly but surely began to come around. She learned to trust, and a beautiful bond blossomed between them. After several months, Anna was ready for a new home and was adopted by a kind woman. But life took an unexpected turn when her adopter became seriously ill and could no longer care for her.

When Anna returned to the shelter, who was there waiting for her? Sally! Anna remembered her instantly, a testament to the deep connection they shared. Sally fostered Anna for another month, and just this week, Anna found her perfect forever family.

Anna's journey is a shining example of why our community of animal lovers makes all the difference. It's the Sallys who open their homes and hearts, and it's the adopters who choose to give a loving second chance instead of purchasing a puppy. Animal Harbor pets are the best because of the incredible people who dedicate themselves to their well-being.

🌙🐾 No Time to Wait: Meet Junie B, a Hero Momma Cat 🐾🌙

Just yesterday, a momma cat at the shelter had a medical emergency and had to stay at the vet overnight. Her tiny babies were left without care—until Junie B stepped in.

Even though they weren’t her own, Junie B took them in without hesitation—nursing, comforting, and making sure each little one was safe and fed through the night. 💛

These small acts of love happen every day at Animal Harbor—but only because of you.

With kitten season in full swing, the need is urgent—and there’s No Time to Wait.

✨ Give now to provide emergency care, shelter, and love for vulnerable cats and kittens.

Because when every hour counts, your compassion can save a life. 💕

It's a heartbreaking truth: fearful dogs are often the first to be deemed "unadoptable" in high-capacity shelters, leading to tragic outcomes like euthanasia.

When you walk through a shelter, it's natural to be drawn to the wagging tails and enthusiastic greetings. But I'm here to ask you to consider the ones who might be cowering in the back, the timid souls, the reluctant sweethearts.

These dogs aren't "broken"; they're simply scared. Their fear might stem from past trauma, lack of socialization, or even just an overwhelming environment. What they need most is patience, understanding, and a loving home to help them blossom.

Our own dog, Neville, is a testament to this. When we first met him, he was literally cowering under an office chair, overwhelmed by the world around him. It took time, gentle encouragement, and a safe space, but slowly, incredibly, he started to emerge.

Today, Neville is forming beautiful connections with people and exploring new places with a growing confidence. He still has his moments, and we know his journey isn't over, but with every passing day, he proves that with patience, consistent care, and a whole lot of love, a fearful dog can transform into a spectacular canine companion.

If you're considering adopting, please open your heart and your mind to the fearful dogs. They may not greet you with immediate kisses, but the bond you form with them, built on trust and gentle understanding, will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Give them a chance – you might just find your best friend hiding in plain sight.

Those cover photo kittens? Absolutely precious, right? But what you might not see is the journey they took to get there.

They arrived without their momma, with crusty eyes, and desperately needing a miracle. And that's exactly what they got, thanks to our incredible foster coordinator, Sarah, who welcomed them into her own home to bottle-feed them and provide the loving care they needed.

Our staff and volunteers are more than just amazing; they are true superheroes 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️. They don't just talk the talk; they walk the walk, going above and beyond not because they have to, but because their hearts are truly in it.

Every single person in our community, from our dedicated employees to our selfless volunteers, is here for one reason: their profound love for animals and their unwavering desire to create a better world for them 🐈🐕.

So, please, let's show them all the kindness ❤️ and appreciation they deserve. They are working tirelessly for a cause we all believe in!

We are reaching out today with an urgent plea regarding the overwhelming number of cats in need. It's incredibly painful for us to turn away any animal or add them to a waiting list when they need immediate help. Our deepest desire is to welcome every cat and kitten directly into our care, offering them safety and a path to a loving home.

Our commitment as a private, no-kill shelter means we provide comprehensive care for every animal that enters our doors. This also means we must manage our resources carefully, including the limited number of spaces in our shelter and available foster homes. We are working diligently to facilitate adoptions and partnership with northern rescues to move cats into their forever families, freeing up vital space.

However, the sheer volume of cats needing assistance is beyond the capacity of any single organization.

There are concrete ways you can make an immediate, life-saving impact:

🏡ADOPT if you can! Give a cat a forever home and create space for another.
💖FOSTER if you can't adopt! Opening your home temporarily directly saves a life and provides critical space.
🙋‍♀️VOLUNTEER if you can't foster! Your time is precious and directly supports our daily operations.
💲DONATE if you can't volunteer! Every dollar fuels our ability to provide food, medical care, and shelter.
🗣️ADVOCATE if you can't donate! Share our story, educate others, and help us amplify the message of responsible pet ownership.
🚫🐈🐈🚫And crucially: Support Spay/Neuter initiatives and TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts.

These are the foundational solutions to preventing pet overpopulation.

This doesn't have to be a hopeless situation. We have the knowledge and the dedication; what we need now is your unwavering community support to put these solutions into action. Let's work together to help every cat in need.

"I’ve always fed the feral cats in my neighborhood, but for the longest time, I felt powerless to truly help them."

Then, I’d see the same heartbreaking cycle repeat itself—skinny, pregnant mama cats appearing on my porch, only to return later with their sickly, crusty-eyed kittens. These tiny, fragile babies, if they even survived, were doomed to a harsh life outdoors—cold, hungry, fearful, and constantly battling illness. And if they made it to adulthood, they’d continue the cycle, bringing litter after litter into the same suffering.

It felt endless.

Then I learned about TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) through Animal Harbor—and suddenly, I realized that I could make a real difference.

In 2024, I trapped and neutered my first feral cats, and I saw an immediate change in my colony. This year alone, I’ve used the TNR program for 21 ferals—and the impact has been incredible.
