Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there—today we celebrate you 💕🐾

To the moms raising children, the pet moms caring for their furry families, the fosters who step in when animals need love the most, and the rescuers who become “mom” to the forgotten… today is for you.

At Shelby County Humane Society, we see motherhood in so many beautiful forms every day. We see the tired but devoted fur mamas caring for their babies, the volunteers bottle-feeding kittens through the night, and the adopters who open their hearts and homes to animals in need.

Love, patience, protection, sacrifice—motherhood isn’t defined by species, but by the care you give and the lives you nurture 💖

Today we celebrate:
🐾 Moms by birth
🐾 Moms by choice
🐾 Moms to pets
🐾 Foster moms
🐾 Those missing their moms
🐾 And those who carry the spirit of motherhood in their hearts

Thank you for the love you give so freely—to your families, your pets, and your community.

From all of us (and all the wagging tails, purrs, and happy hearts) at Shelby County Humane Society… Happy Mother’s Day 💐🐶🐱

🐎🌹 It’s Derby Day in Kentucky… and our animals have some thoughts 😅🐾
🏇 “I, too, enjoy running full speed for no reason.” – every dog ever
👒 “If I have to wear one more hat, I will simply pass away.” – every cat ever
🥕 “Are snacks involved? I’m only here for snacks.” – all of them, honestly
While the horses are racing for roses… our crew is racing for treats, squeaky toys, and the best nap spot on the couch 🛋️💤
No matter who wins the Derby today, our shelter pets are ready to win your heart 💖🐶🐱
Skip the betting… place your bets on adoption instead 😉🐾
Because every pet deserves a forever home—no fancy hat required 🎀🏡

🐾💙 Happy Tails: Renard 💙🐾

Renard was pulled from our local animal shelter at approximately 1 year old and spent about a year in our program before finding his forever home 🐶🏡

14 years later, we’re so happy to share that he is still thriving with the family who chose him 💕 While he’s slowed down a bit with age, he’s still happy, loved, and doing great—and that’s what matters most 😊

Thank you, Whitney, for loving Renard and giving him the forever home he deserved. Stories like his are why we do what we do 💙🐾

Here’s to 14 years of love… and many more cozy days ahead 🐶💕

Meet Freya 💕🐾
Freya is ready to find her forever home! After being an incredible mama, it’s finally her turn to be loved 🏡✨
She came to us on Valentine’s Day after her owner fell on hard times, caring for her 6 puppies while living in a car. Despite it all, she never stopped being the sweetest girl 💔➡️💖
All of her babies have found their forever homes…
Freya is around 70 lbs, very sweet, and would do best with another active dog 🐶🎾 She does well with other dogs and kids, but is still learning her manners (she just gets excited!) 😄
This girl wants nothing more than to be someone’s sidekick 🐾💖
If you’re interested in adopting Freya, message us to receive an application 📩🐶
