Ear floof? Check. Beautiful coat? Check. Outgoing Ear floof? Check. Beautiful coat? Check. Outgoing personality? Not yet. Maybe you can help! This 5-month-old sweetie is Mrs. Peacock. She's a timid little kitten that needs a little time to warm up to new people, places, and things. She loves treats of all sorts, and she's more than willing to open up for the right snack. Our volunteers and trainers work with timid cats every day. And our staff can, too! Have you always wanted a job in which you're surrounded by purrs? We can make that happen. We have several positions open now, including some that include hands-on care and others that have less animal contact. We'd love for you to join us! Click the link in our bio to find out more. And yes! Mrs. Peacock is looking for a home. Find her on our Adoptable Cats page (link in bio), open her profile, and tap the pink Adopt Me button. Then, watch your email for next steps! #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety #floofycat #kitten #kittens #kittensofinstagram #caturday #caturdaymorning #caturdaycuties #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #bestmeow #instakitty #catoftheday #kitty #kitten #funnycat #catsareawesome #catsarefamily
October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. And October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. And, throughout this month, our friends at @capitolsubaru in partnership with @subaru_usa are donating $100 (up to $3,100) for each pet adopted in October. Subaru is focusing on "underdogs," or pets that need a little bit of help to find the right family. Typically, we think about age or illness when we think about adoption challenges. But Bear (and his brother Vanilla, which we're featuring on Facebook today) are the real underdogs. These chi mixes are about 9 months old, and they are both male. These pups are very, very shy. They are both handling sensitive. At the same time, they are absolutely adorable. You may be tempted to scoop them up and cuddle them. They, on the other hand, may prefer to keep their distance until they know you well. Put in the work, and these guys warm up into wiggly, cuddly pups. But we suspect that some families will come away from their meetings thinking these dogs aren't friendly. Bear and Vanilla bicker (as siblings do), and they should not go into a home together. They can be pushy boys, so they will need understanding canine roommates. But they love to romp and play and might like a canine friend. Can you help these underdogs? Find them on our Adoptable Dogs page, tap the pink "Adopt Me" button, and submit paperwork. Share with your friends, too! #subarulovespets #nationaladoptashelterdogmonth #adoptashelterdog #dogsofinstagram #dogscorner #dog #dogsandpals #dogs #instadog #doglover #instagramdogs #dogoftheday #dogstagram #lovedogs #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety
Small, scruffy, and oh-so sweet. That's Max! He's Small, scruffy, and oh-so sweet. That's Max! He's a 4yo terrier/chihuahua mix, and he's looking for the right home. Perhaps he could come to live with you! At 13 pounds, Max is just the right size to sit in your lap. And he'd love to spend his afternoons cuddled up with you. He may not be ready to show that cuddly side right away, as he can be a little wary of strangers. But give him time, and he blossoms. Max has lived very successfully with cats in the past and could likely accept feline friends with slow introductions. He can be a little selective about his dog friends and would like to meet potential roommates first. Interested in getting to know this little gent? Applications start the process. Head to the Adoptable Dogs page (link in bio), open his profile, and tap the pink Adopt Me button. Then, watch your email! We'll be in touch with next steps. #terrier #terriers #terriersofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogscorner #dog #dogsandpals #dogs #instadog #doglover #instagramdogs #dogoftheday #dogstagram #lovedogs #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety
Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. We se Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day. We set aside time each year to talk about pets like Peyton. This 12yo cat weighs a little more than 20 pounds right now. His added girth makes it hard for him to stay clean, hop up to ask for cuddles, and play with his toys. We know there's an active kitty inside that big body. But he needs a careful and patient person to go on a weight-loss journey with him. Could that person be you? It's really easy to let pets slide into obesity. We've all given our cats a few too many treats or kibble bits from time to time. The next time you're tempted to show your love with food, consider waving a wand toy for your cat or tossing a ball. Or just offer some focused cuddle time. Your cat will thank you for it! Peyton is looking for a home now. He absolutely adores other cats and will do best in a home with a friend. Can you help him? Find him on our Adoptable Cats page (link in bio), open his profile and tap the pink Adopt Me button for an application. Thank you! #nationalpetobesityawarenessday #petobesityawarenessday #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #bestmeow #instakitty #catsareawesome #catsarefamily #tabby #tabbies #tabbiesofinstagram
