Imagine that you adopted Buddy, the 5yo lab (and h Imagine that you adopted Buddy, the 5yo lab (and he really wishes you would!). What should you say if he starts to make a choice you don't agree with? Dogs often want to do things we humans don't like (such as digging in the garbage or chewing on cords). Teaching a positive interrupter cue, such as "Excuse me" gives your dog a positive choice. Rather than chewing on that cord, the dog can come to you for a treat! One of our dog trainers wrote a blog post all about teaching positive interrupters. Follow the link in our bio to check it out. And yes! Buddy is still adoptable. He's been waiting for someone for more than 80 days. Perhaps he's been waiting for you! Find him on our Adoptable Dogs page (link in bio), open his profile page, and tap the pink Adopt Me button to meet him. #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #cutenessoverload #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety #dogsofinstagram #dogscorner #dog #dogsandpals #dogs #instadog #doglover #instagramdogs #dogoftheday #dogstagram #lovedogs #lab #labradorretriever #labrador #labradors #labradorsofinstagram #dogtraining
There's something very special about this big girl There's something very special about this big girl named Fluffers. Maybe it's her bright-green eyes. Maybe it's her marbled fur. Or maybe it's her winning personality. Whatever it is, we love her! Fluffers is about 5 years old, and she is a big girl at almost 16 pounds. She would likely be happier and healthier at a smaller size, and thankfully, she loves to play! Regular exercise with her family and a healthy diet will be great for her. She has always lived as the only pet, but she gets along nicely with the other cats in her suite. She might enjoy a feline roommate. Fluffers does have a little spice to even out her sweetness, and she has been known to express herself from time to time. A cat-savvy home will be great for her. Interested in meeting Fluffers? We have visitation hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2p to 5p. Come in and meet her! And if you'd like to find out more or put in an application to adopt, find her on our Adoptable Cats page, open her bio, and tap the pink Adopt Me button.

Is your idea of a perfect evening romping in the b Is your idea of a perfect evening romping in the backyard with your new best friend? You and Ronin have a lot in common! This 3yo husky mix is very active, busy, and athletic. He'd love to find a person that can keep up with his zoomies! Just like humans, dogs can have preferences about those they spend time with. Ronin here loves to associate with humans, but he'd like to keep his distance from cats and other dogs. No dog parks, crowds, or fairs for this guy. He'd like to have you all to himself in an area free of other critter distractions. Ronin is a young pup, and he absolutely loves to learn. He'd enjoy using his brain while picking up a new bag of tricks. And he might like snuffle mats and food puzzles to keep him thinking while you're away too. Do you sound like the right human for this loving pup? He can't wait to hear from you. Find Ronin on our adoptable dogs page (link in bio), open his profile, and tap the pink Adopt Me button. Fill out the questions and we'll be in touch with next steps.

We have a very special story to share with you tod We have a very special story to share with you today. Meet Amigo! He's a very sweet little orange tabby with a sad backstory. This poor guy was hit by a car in Salem a few weeks ago, and his shoulder was very sore and swollen. He also had a terrible cold and a bad case of fleas. Because of people just like you, Amigo got the care he needed. His shoulder healed beautifully, his cold faded, and he grew bigger and stronger. Just last week, he was adopted by a loving family. Can you help us prepare for the next Amigo? Our biggest fundraiser of the year, Bowser's Boo Bash, is happening now. We still have a few tickets left for the in-person event happening 10/23. And, we have an online auction anyone can join, even if you're not attending the in-person party. We're relying on people just like you to make this fundraiser a success. Will you help? Do it for Amigo! #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #bestmeow #instakitty #catoftheday #catsareawesome #catsarefamily #tabby #tabbies #tabbiesofinstagram #kitten #kittens #kittensofinstagram #petstagram #bestfriend #instapet #willamettehumanesociety #whs #Salem #salemoregon #salemisawesome #salemoregonlife #petadoption #humanesociety
