Her family got her DNA tested and wanted to share the results with us.As always, results will be posted in 24 hours! What do YOU think makes up Nellie's DNA? 🐶 Happy Guessing! 🥳 #WAIW #DogDNA

📦🐾 TWO WEEKS LEFT TO SUPPORT MOVERS FOR MUTTS! 🐾📦

📦🐾 TWO WEEKS LEFT TO SUPPORT MOVERS FOR MUTTS! 🐾📦There’s still time to make a difference for the animals at Harbor Humane! ❤️TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s annual Movers for Mutts donation drive is happening now, and there are only about TWO WEEKS LEFT to donate! The drive runs through Wednesday, October 28, and we’re so grateful to once again be one of the beneficiary organizations.Every donation helps us provide the supplies and care our animals need while they wait for their forever homes. Whether you donate one item or a whole box, every little bit makes a difference!A huge thank you to Two Men and a Truck for organizing this annual drive and to everyone who has already donated. We appreciate our community showing up for shelter pets! 🐶🐱There’s still time to help! Check out our requested items, pick up a few extras on your next shopping trip, and help us make these final two weeks count! #donationdrive

🚨🐱WISH LIST WEDNESDAY: OPERATION LITTER BOX UPGRAD

🚨🐱WISH LIST WEDNESDAY: OPERATION LITTER BOX UPGRADE!🐱🚨Friends, we have a BIG wish this week…and when we say big, we mean A WHOLE LOTTA LITTER BOXES, big! 😹Our goal is to begin replacing our plastic litter boxes with STAINLESS STEEL litter boxes throughout Harbor Humane—and there’s a very important reason why:🧼 Disease control.Stainless steel is easier to thoroughly clean and sanitize, doesn’t hold onto scratches and odors like plastic can, and will stand up to the constant cleaning that comes with caring for thousands of cats and kittens.So…how many do we need?Well. 😬🐾 One for every cat space at the shelter.
🐾 Enough to support our foster homes caring for cats and kittens.
🐾 And replacements ready when needed.In other words: A LOT. 😂This isn’t the flashiest item on our Wish List, but it is an investment in the health and well-being of every cat and kitten who comes through our doors.If our community helps us tackle this one litter box at a time, together we can make this overhaul a reality! 💪🐱🧡 Less than $35 = one cat space upgraded.One person. One litter box. One healthier space for the cats and kittens who depend on us.Check out our Wish Lists and help us upgrade a potty today. 😂🧡📍https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1GODYJZEBBL5R?ref_=wl_shareAnd please SHARE—because apparently it takes a village…and in this case, a village with a whole lot of litter boxes. 🐾#WishListWednesday #HarborHumane #ForTheCats #ShelterCats #CommunitySupport #ItTakesAVillage

We love hearing how our adopted animals are settling into their new homes! Zoey (formerly Ziggy) is already showing off her personality and making a new best friend. Her adopter shared this sweet update:"Its been just over two weeks since we're adopted Ziggy (renamed her Zoey) she was a little shy, but now full of attitude and playfulness.Jake my 6yr old Rottweiler is very good with her. They chase each other around the back yard, they love to wrestle."Thank you for giving Zoey a loving home and sharing an update with us! We wish Zoey and her new family many happy years of love, playtime, and backyard wrestling. ❤️ #adoptionstory #adoptionsuccess #adoptionupdate
