Last fall, a little after Naima (formerly Ginger) was adopted, we received this photo of her, with the words, "This dog is at peace."
Naima was sweet and friendly but had inexplicably spent five long months at the shelter.
***UPDATE: ADOPTED!***Lily is a gorgeous white boxer who came to us very pregnant — she had a rough pregnancy but delivered 6 big, healthy pups, all adopted.

Petey charmed his way into getting adopted a couple of Sundays ago. That face and his personality make him a lovable goofball!
His family told us: "He is so sweet and good!"
Petey settled in very well and slept the first night in their bed. 😄
Thank you for adopting Petey from the Clinton County Humane Society!
Beautiful Angie was adopted from our shelter in August. Although she is smiling now, Angie had a bit of a rough start, her new family told us — she was incredibly anxious about being in a new environment with new people and spent most of her time the first week just pacing.
Instead of giving up on this sweet shepherd, her family gave her the time and space and love to decompress after the stress that follows dogs when they land in shelters.
Sebastian is a gorgeous malamute who was released to the dog pound with a female pitbull, Luna. They both landed at the Clinton County Humane Society.
Unfortunately, Sebastian tested positive for heartworm and requires expensive and time-consuming treatment. Our shelter, which is funded solely by private donations and with volunteer hours, asked for help paying for Sebastian's veterinary care, which will total around $800.
After posting on Facebook about Sebastian, our supporters gave $1,185 just with the online fund-raiser!
And Sebastian HAS BEEN ADOPTED! YAY!
Eight-year-old twins Lila and Austin used their own allowance to bring some very useful items to our shelter — as well as a monetary donation. We are grateful for their generous hearts! ❤️❤️
After seeing a commercial for a national organization, Lila and Austin decided they would help local pets with their money.
They were accompanied by their mom and their neighbor who is a longtime volunteer at the shelter.
In memory of Jonathan Grayson, who died at age 9 in an accident in 2010, his family donates generously each year to our shelter, where Jonathan had adopted his canine best buddy, Elvis.
Jonathan would have turned 20 years old in September of this year. 💙
His mom said, "Jonathan felt very strongly about taking care of animals in need. He would want us to do this every year. It's a great way to honor him."
We always appreciate his family's thoughtfulness, and we are grateful that Elvis provided joy and companionship to Jonathan during his young life.
An update from adorable Eli's new family:
"I adopted Eli a few weeks ago and he's such an interesting, playful, energetic, curious and loving cat. He loves to sleep on my chest and refuses to sleep at night unless he's holding my finger. He also loves going on walks and runs with me."
Thank you for adopting Eli from the Clinton County Humane Society!
Tilly's family told us: "We decided to keep her original name, it seemed to fit her just right.
"She's getting along with the other pets just fine. She spends a lot of time overseeing her domain from these windows, alerting us to the squirrel activity!"
Thank you for adopting Tilly from the Clinton County Humane Society!
From one of our recent adopters:
"This is a beautiful, clean, well run facility! Very impressive! We just adopted this little girl from them and couldn't be happier! We named her Mia!
"There are so many adult cats that need homes. Please consider adopting one."
Swatch was adopted from our shelter recently and has already been completely loved and cared for by his new family, who told us:
"He’s such a silly little guy and we love him lots!"
Between maintaining those fancy ears and shopping for squeaky toys, puppy life can be exhausting.
Oreo's new family sent us this update:
Azzi, from our shelter, has worked hard and now is working to help others in this tough time.
Happy birthday to Parker, who is 3 years old today!

Butterscotch was adopted Sept. 6, and we received this update from her family:
"We adopted Butterscotch yesterday, and as a quick update, she's made herself right at home. We have named her Olive. She is an absolute cuddlebug. Introductions with her brother, Stanlee (cat), and sister, Gracie (dog) are also going well. They both love her. She on the other hand, is still trying to figure them out. She growls when they get close and they back up looking so confused. LOL. They listen well though and keep a good distance when she wants it. Though timid at shelter, she will probably rule the roost her ... and we just love her 
She is spoiled rotten already."
"Just wanted to give you a quick update on Tilly. We're definitely keeping her! She is a really good pup and we've very much fallen in love with her in just this short week. She was already potty-trained and sleeps well throughout the night. No chewing! No shedding!
Bentley, a dachshund-Labrador, was adopted in 2018 from the Clinton County Humane Society as a puppy, and he spent Sunday afternoon with his brother Nova, also adopted from the shelter, at the dog park in Wilmington, Ohio. He is loved and a valued member of such a caring family!
Gorgeous Jack was adopted a year ago from our shelter and is totally and completely loved.
His family told us: “Boy, has he changed! We love him to pieces. He's a good boy! One of the best decisions we ever made! Thank you!!”
This is (from top to bottom) Monzo, Dexter, and Theo -- all from two years ago from our shelter, adopted by different families. Aren't they gorgeous?!
Bradley’s new family sent us this adorable update: “Bradley seems to be adjusting well to his new home. Wherever my son is, Bradley is right beside him. We couldn't have got a more perfect fit for our home. Thank you very much.”
Molly turned 9 years old on Sept. 7 — she was adopted from the Clinton County Humane Society in 2011!
In memory of Ace, who had been found years ago in a culvert as a puppy and who died in late July, his family made a very generous donation to our shelter, and we are extremely grateful.
They have always been supportive of the Clinton County Humane Society and other animal organizations, and Ace was one lucky dog — he lived all his days in comfort, feeling love and appreciation, and getting walks around his neighborhood.
Ace was 8 pounds when he was adopted but grew into a big boy, and he enjoyed the best pieces of steak, comfy couches and beds, a "gazillion" toys, and trips to wineries (one of the photos is from a winery vacation).
His family says they spoiled him to the core but always hoped he was happy with his life. Judging by his smile, we are certain he was!
Thank you for adopting Ace from our shelter and changing his life forever!
This beautiful adopted dog has been captured in a beautiful photograph — she hit the adoption lottery after waiting such a long time.
Adopted a week ago, Tater (formerly named Jet) is adjusting well to his new home — his family sent us an update today. We're so happy for this adorable pup! He has both canines and humans looking out for him.
Thank you for adopting Tater from the Clinton County Humane Society!
Awwwwwwww.
Look at Misty in her new home. Soooooooo cute.
Thank you for adopting Misty (formerly Jolene) from the Clinton County Humane Society!
From his new family: "Baloo is loving his new home and his new brother. This kitty is so sweet and energetic, we’re in love with him 💗"
The Breedens sent us this photo of sweet Annie on her freedom ride to her new home! She deserves all the best! Look at her smile! 😁
Thank you to the Breedens for adopting Annie!
This kitten was adopted from our shelter, and he is now named him Louis Vuitton! Every weekend, the family travels to their cabin at Lake Norris, and Louis Vuitton rides in the car with them. He has a little carrier with a liter box in it for the car trip.
So happy for this kitten! He is livin' the life!
