Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Elaina! 🎉

If you’ve adopted or fostered a pup at the Hornell Area Humane Society, there is a good chance you know Elaina! 🐾 She was actually nominated for this award due to helping a record number of dogs find their forever homes! ❤️🏆 We asked Elaina some questions to help you get to know her better:

Q1. If you could adopt any animal at the shelter right now, who would it be?
A1. Jethro (the cute pup pictured with her).
Q2. What is your favorite part of working here?
A2. My favorite thing about working in the shelter is being able to experience helping dogs get their forever homes and seeing their new families eyes light up with joy.
Q3. What is a fun fact about you?
A3. I am an expert with reptiles and I can tell you almost anything about ball pythons!

Thank you so much to Elaina for your dedication to the shelter and animals of our community! 🐾

This week's cat of the week is Esmeralda! 🥰

THIS WEEK ONLY ADOPTION FEE $75!!

Esmeralda came to us as a stray back in February of this year. We do not understand why this sweetheart is still at the shelter. Esmeralda does have a shy side to her but comes out when she feels comfortable. She LOVES to play with the other cats in the room. We see her playing with her furr friend Pangea a lot. Esmeralda enjoys playing with spring toys and balls. You will often find her in a cozy area taking a nap or by the window looking outside and basking in the sun! She likes the cat tower we have in cat room 3 a lot. She likes to climb to the top and watch us in the mooring while we clean or on the shelves of the tower. She would make a perfect addition to any family, maybe ones with older children that understand that she can be shy at first. She is cat friendly, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, spayed and litter trained.

Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black/ Orange Tortoiseshell
DOB: 2/23/23

If you are interested in this sweet kitty stop on in at the shelter, we are open Tuesday-Saturday 12-5pm.

We have adoption applications here at the shelter or online on our website. 👇

Our story is very heavy, so buckle up! We're Joey and Maria, the newest brother-sister duo to enter the shelter. Let's get some basic info about us out of the way... pasta is not our favorite food, 😂no we are not currently subscribed to a gym, and yes, we are going to need a lot of extra time, love and care to come back out of our shells. 😊Our last owner passed away, and neither of us are handling it very well. We are in desperate need of a new best friend to help these hearts open up again. 💔 It may take us some time to trust you, but we promise it will be worth it. We have been together our entire lives since birth and would like to find our next home together as well. Life has been pretty hard on us, but you could be the special person or family that turns everything around. We hope you stop by to meet us at the shelter soon! ❣

Adoption fee combined for both cats: $100

Breed: Domestic Short Hair's
Color: Black/Tan Tiger
DOB: 3/29/21

We are open Tuesday-Saturday 12-5pm!
We have adoption applications here at the shelter or online on our website. 👇
