A new happy life in New Hampshire
This is gorgeous Veronica, happy at home. She lives in New Hampshire now, a long way from Clinton County, Ohio, where she was adopted a year ago from our shelter. Named Rani at the shelter, she had been abandoned by her owners with another dog, Fonzie. Veronica has a gorgeous German shepherd brother, and we are so happy to see how well she is cared for!
Thank you for adopting from the Clinton County Humane Society!

CCHS alumnus Julie gets a new little sister from the shelter
That is Luna (formerly Venus) on the left, and she's a new little sister to Julie (formerly Jewel) on the right. Luna's lucky day was Saturday, when she was adopted by the same family who had adopted Julie after she had spent many months at our shelter. They are both very lucky dogs in a loving home.
Their family says they've been getting along really well! And they think both Luna and Julie are PERFECT.
Thank you for adopting TWICE from the Clinton County Humane Society!

Sweet dreams, sweet Rocco
Sweet Rocco had been at the shelter since autumn, but the right match wasn't made until last week, just in time for spring. After a winter of waiting, he is happily enjoying snoozing comfortably in his new home, free of worry.
His owner says: "Just wanted you to know that Rocco is doing great! And is the sweetest dog ever!"

Why 'free' kittens aren't always the best choice
There are a lot of misconceptions about spaying/neutering cats, and we wanted you to know that the Clinton County Humane Society works to spay and neuter each animal it adopts out so that the population of unwanted pets is decreased, and that each animal is a wanted animal. Two uncontrolled breeding cats and their offspring could produce a population of 80 million cats within 10 years.
One misconception about spaying and neutering cats, in particular, is that it will affect a cat’s ability to be a great mouser. It’s simply not true, according to those in veterinary medicine. “Because spay/neutering only affects sexually dimorphic behaviors, and does not affect learning, it will not impair an animal's ability to do work, hunt, guard, etc.,” according to the veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences department at Texas A&M. “Animals actually may be better able to focus on their task, since they will be less distracted by other dogs and cats.”
Cats are instinctively programmed to hunt. Spaying or neutering does not affect that instinct. Spayed and neutered animals are three times less likely to develop behavior problems as intact animals, according to Texas A&M. And it helps to prevent roaming, escaping and running away in search of a mate, so those animals are less likely to be involved in car accidents.
In a rural community, cats are often allowed to breed over and over again, so although it is easy to get a "free" kitten in many places in Clinton County, our low-cost adoptable cats come already spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
If you are looking for a mouser who will provide you with endless hours of amusement, please consider adopting one of ours. You can find our adoptable pets on this link:https://www.petfinder.com/

It’s wonderful to get a cat update! Yay, Eggsy!
Eggy's owner tells us: “I adopted Eggsy (Kody) from the shelter back in July of last year. Ever since we got him, he’s always been a cuddler and sometimes a little too curious, playful, and uncoordinated for his own good. His full name is Edgar, but we call him Eggsy, and he is very dapper and wears a bow tie. He’s goofy and sweet, he makes me laugh even when I’ve had a horrible time recently, and has gotten me through a terrible time in my life these past few months.
“He’s certainly become my fur baby that I dote on and my ‘emotional support animal.’ Thank you for all that you guys do!!”

Check out the bone-guarding ear action!
This is Hachi (called Chandler at the shelter), who was adopted from the Clinton County Humane Society in January 2013!
His owners told us, “He's our big 100-pound baby! Now a Texan. :)”
Don’t mess with Hachi’s bone. Or Texas.

Maximus is doing well with training — and snuggling
This is Maximus, who was adopted from a recent Valentine's litter. He has such beautiful blue eyes!
He is a littermate of Zivah and Shiner, who both had updates posted recently.
Maximus (named Valentino at the shelter) loves to snuggle. He is also doing great with training, working on the puppy biting stage, and the name game.
His new family says, "Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers, answering questions, sharing photos, dedicated love to the animals and smiling faces."

Super big and still super playful

We could just stare at that face all day long
Shiner was adopted around Valentine's Day with an adorable litter of boxer-bulldogs. Named Cupid at the shelter, Shiner has been working on his housetraining (it's getting there!) and sleeping through the night (success!).
His family tells us: "He's definitely in the puppy biting phase, but we're working through it and he's slowly getting used to going for walks on a leash.
"He's a real snuggle bug ... loves to snuggle in one of our laps when it's naptime. Too cute! Thank you so much — it's a joy to have a dog again!"

Bella is going to strut her stuff at the Indy Mutt Strut
Bella has been in her forever home now for just over a year. Called Frida at the shelter, Bella is fully grown and weighs just under 15 pounds.
She has successfully completed a puppy, intermediate, and advanced training course.
Bella's owner told us: "She continues to be a joy, loves her toys, and just being the center of attention.
"My parents in Indy recently rescued a chihuahua they named Ziva. Bella and Ziva are best buddies. They are inseparable when we go to Indy for weekly visits.
"In April, Bella and I have signed up and started a team for the annual Indy Mutt Strut. We will participate in the greatest spectacle in dog walking and will walk around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with 4,000-plus other dogs."
Check out the "Brickyard Strutters," Bella's team, at www.indymuttstrut.org.
