Available Dogs
Dog of the Month
Zeus
Zeus is a heartworm survivor! He’s an amazing medium-sized dog with plenty of energy and strength. Zeus isn’t fond of some men and would do best as the only pet in a household without children. For a single-family home with no pets or kids, Zeus could be the perfect companion and a loyal friend! SL268240
Frazier
Male Lab mix
Meet Frazier, the ultimate furry tornado of joy! This young, loyal, and ridiculously smart pup prefers the spotlight as the only animal in the house. He’s potty-trained, soon-to-be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and all his lab work will be done—talk about a package deal! Frazier would love an active couple or a family with older kids to match his boundless energy (and to keep up with his zoomies). He’s a big-hearted boy just waiting to steal your couch and your heart! SL268240.

Dodger
Whippet/Bull Terrier Mix
Meet the dashing Dodger! This wonderful young adult mixed breed is bursting with energy and playfulness. Dodger is great on a leash but has a knack for being an escape artist. His ideal home would be with someone who leads an active lifestyle and has plenty of space for him to burn off his energy. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, has completed blood work, and has been vet-checked. If you’re ready to meet the charming Dodger, submit your application ASAP! SL268240
Meet Chowder
female, altered one year old, potty and crate trained
Meet Rudy! Rudy is the SWEETEST big boy you could ever meet. He’s currently recovering from food-related skin allergies, but he’s ready and waiting for his forever home. Rudy is strong and playful, so he needs someone experienced with large breed dogs and capable of handling his daily walks. He is NOT suited for apartment living or a low-activity lifestyle. If you’d like to meet Rudy, please submit your application ASAP. SL268240
Rudy
Fabulous Dog
Meet Chowder, the pint-sized whirlwind with the spirit of a lion! She's a quick learner who could probably teach you a thing or two, but she needs some guidance to channel her boundless energy. A fenced yard is a must because Chowder doesn't believe in boundaries—literally. Her dream human is an adventure-loving individual or couple ready for car rides, ball-throwing marathons, and outdoor escapades. Chowder prefers to be the queen of her castle, so she’d thrive as the only dog in the home. Given her strength, an adult-only household is recommended. Bonus: she's heading to dog training soon to polish her already charming personality. Contact me ASAP to meet this four-legged dynamo! SL268240
Hank
Blue Tick Hound
Meet our handsome hound, Hank! Hank is a young adult male who is fully vetted, meaning he’s neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and has all his lab work done. As a Bluetick Coonhound, Hank will follow his nose anywhere, leading you on adventures down trails and beaten paths. He would make an incredible addition to any family. Hank walks beautifully on a leash, is very potty trained, extremely friendly with people, and gets along great with other dogs. However, he’s probably not the best fit for homes with small animals or birds. Our handsome Hank won’t be here for long—get your application in ASAP! SL268240
Meet Brody! Brody is a handsome mixed-breed pup currently at the Forest County Humane Society, hoping his forever family will find him soon. He's strong, full of energy, and absolutely amazing in every way! Submit your application now—Brody might just be the perfect boy you’ve been searching for!
SL268240
Percy
Male Mixed Breed
Meet Percy! Percy is a very energetic little retriever mix boy that is here looking for his forever home! He is very friendly but could use some behavioral training because he is just the jumpy type right now. He just hasn't learned “proper etiquette “yet :) If you would like to meet Percy, please get me your application ASSP!

Rayne
female Kelpie
Meet Rayna: Your Future Furry Companion
About Rayna
Say hello to Rayna, a lively young adult Kelpie who's ready to herd her way into your heart—and your home. At just about two years old, Rayna is bursting with energy and a zest for life that could power a small city. Known for their exceptional herding abilities, Kelpies like Rayna are basically the Olympic athletes of the dog world. She’ll happily herd anything that moves: children, pets, and even the occasional unsuspecting adult. Don’t worry, it’s all in good fun, and it’s as much a part of her as her wagging tail!
Ideal Home for Rayna
Rayna dreams of a home brimming with activity, where her energy can be matched and then some. A spacious, fenced-in yard is a must because when it comes to jumping, Rayna could give a kangaroo a run for its money. Seriously, she’s got hops that would make a basketball player jealous! While she’s selective about her dog friends and prefers a cat-free zone, she thrives where she can run, play, and explore to her heart’s content.
Rayna's Personality
Despite her boundless energy, Rayna is a sweetheart who loves nothing more than a good cuddle. She’s the perfect mix of playful and affectionate, making her an ideal partner for an active lifestyle. Whether she’s chasing toys, zooming around the yard, or snuggling up on the couch, Rayna is all about living life to the fullest—and she’s ready to share the ride with you.
Health and Training
Rayna comes fully vetted, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her vaccines, ensuring she’s in tip-top shape. She’s also fully potty trained, so no surprises there! However, apartment living isn’t her style; she needs room to roam and a stage big enough for her antics.
Interested in Rayna?
If you think Rayna could be the hilarious, energetic addition your family needs, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact us at mailto:foresthumane1@yahoo.com or visit our website to submit your application: http://www.forestcountyhumanesociety.org.
Rayna is ready to bring joy, laughter, and a touch of chaos to a family that can keep up with her spirited nature. Are you the one to welcome her into your home?

Hurry up and get that application in before someone else snags this fabulous lady! SL268240
Captain
Meet Captain! Captain is on the hunt for his forever home. He’s a cranky little chihuahua who loves attention—on his own terms, of course. Honestly, he’s like a grumpy old man trapped in a tiny dog’s body, but it’s all part of his charm! If you’re in need of a cantankerous yet lovable companion, get your application in ASAP. Due to his age and personality, Captain would thrive best in a home with no kids and as the only pet. Don’t miss out on this hilarious little character! SL268240
He loves to run around and play while getting attention. He is just a on his terms little guy
Senior male Chihuahua
Ash
Young Female Shepherd
Meet Ash! She is an incredibly sweet yet shy girl who is patiently waiting to be spayed so she can find her forever home. In the meantime, we are featuring her here in hopes of having her future family ready and waiting when she’s all set to go. Please submit your application as soon as possible! Sl268240.
Brandi
Young Female Shepherd Mix
Meet Brandi! Brandi is a young female that is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and ready for her forever home. Brandi is very strong, a car chaser and will require a fenced yard due to this reason. She needs to be the only dog in the household. She is not the girl that would be able to go to dog parks, but would thrive going on hikes or walks in seculded areas where other dogs are not. She is extremely people friendly. She will make the right home with an active lifestyle, the perfect companion pet. To meet Brandi, get me your application ASAP. SL268240
Oliver
Male mixed breed
Meet Oliver! This adorable and energetic young boy is full of sweetness and charm, eagerly waiting to be fixed and find his forever home. If you're looking for a handsome little red-headed addition to your family, Oliver could be the perfect match for you! Don’t wait—submit your application as soon as possible to give this lovable boy the home he deserves. SL268240
Puddin`
Male Lab/Dane mix
Meet Puddin! This lovable guy is around one year old and embodies sweetness and gentleness. He appears to be a mix of black lab and Great Dane, and his size definitely supports that theory. While he’s got the stature reminiscent of Clifford the Big Red Dog, he believes he’s a lap dog at heart. Puddin is a true wiggle butt who loves being close to his humans and soaking up attention. He enjoys running and playing ball, as well as hopping into the truck for an adventure.
Given his size, Puddin would thrive in a home with a spacious yard where he can expend his energy and a family that leads an active lifestyle. He does have a protective side when it comes to his favorite toys and food, so a home without young children would be best for everyone. Puddin is neutered, microchipped, blood work, and vaccinations, and is ready for his forever home.
If you’re ready to meet Precious Puddin, please fill out an application
SL268240
Martin
Beagle Mix
Meet Martin! This lively beagle mix is full of energy and always ready for an adventure, following his nose to wherever mischief may be. He needs someone who can dedicate time to help him burn off his energy. Martin isn’t a cuddler unless it’s on his terms—he’s very affectionate but doesn’t enjoy being forced onto your lap. He’d make a great playmate for another dog or an older child who understands his boundaries. If you’d like to meet Martin, please send in your application ASAP. SL26824

Honey Lemon
Pom-ski Female young adult...Not ready for adoption yet but accepting applications
Meet our sweet little Honey! Honey is a little EXTREMELY sweet and smart female that is here waiting for her veterinarian appointment to get fixed. She is a great little girl, that is playful and knows some tricks. She is a runner and will not be good with small children in the household. She will run out the door if given the chance. She will require someone that is somewhat active that can take her for walks, keep up with her husky genes. She is a medium sized girl. Although she is not ready to find her forever home yet, I am opening applications to have her family found when the time comes.
