Hi everyone! We apologize for the short notice, but we are gonna postpone Paws on the Patio until it’s a little warmer and sunny. We want it to be a great day for dogs and their humans!

We will update when we have a new date picked out!

Wonderful news! 🐾 Potsie and Joanie have found their forever home and are settling in beautifully!

A little update from their adopter:

Potsie has been confident, outgoing, and an absolute joy from day one. He's a well-behaved, vocal little guy who loves cuddles and exploring his surroundings. One of his latest adventures? Playing with his reflection in the mirror! 😸

Joanie is taking things a bit slower, which is completely normal. She's still shy and prefers to observe from her hiding spots, but she has started venturing out and even stopped by to say hello. After a few unexpected bumps during her first days, she's gradually warming up and gaining confidence.

We can't wait to watch Joanie's personality blossom as she continues to feel safe and loved in her new home. ❤️

Happy tails, Potsie and Joanie! Thank you to their adopter for giving these sweet fur babies the loving home they deserve.

Just another day of holding down the fort for Charlie's Angels. 🖤🤍😎😎😎

Kate, Farrah, and Jaclyn take neighborhood watch very seriously. Birds have been monitored. Squirrels have been documented. Suspicious leaves have been investigated. The streets are safe thanks to these three highly trained agents.

These beauties are all available for hire (a.k.a. adoption). Please send inquiries to Bosley (a.k.a. our office) if you're interested!

UPDATE: Here's his Petfinder profile

🚨🐾 We don't usually ask twice for the same dog. But we're asking again for Zeke. ❤️

We've been searching high and low for his forever family, and somehow this wonderful boy is still waiting. 🏡💔

Zeke is friendly, affectionate, eager to learn, and happiest when he's with his people. 🥰 He'd love to be your hiking buddy 🥾, running partner 🏃, camping companion ⛺, ski coach 🎿, or adventure sidekick 🚵. At the end of the day, he's more than happy to curl up nearby and soak up your attention. ❤️

The reality is that Zeke's foster family is exhausted. 😔 They stepped up when he needed help, expecting it to be temporary, and they've given him months of love, training, patience, structure, and support. 🐾❤️ Now they need a break.

At minimum, Zeke needs a weekend foster. 🙏 Ideally, he needs a new foster home or, even better, the forever family we've been hoping to find. 🏡✨

What breaks our hearts 💔 is knowing that Zeke would not do well in a shelter environment. He thrives on human interaction, routine, activity, and companionship. 🫂🐾 Being alone in a kennel for most of the day would be incredibly hard for a dog who loves people as much as Zeke does.

⏰ We're running out of options.

🐶 If you've ever considered fostering, even short-term, please reach out.
🐶 If you're looking for an active, trainable, people-loving companion, please consider Zeke.
🐶 If you can't help directly, please SHARE. 📲❤️ The person who changes Zeke's life may be one share away. 🐾✨

❤️🐶

Kate watching the hummingbirds is less “peaceful nature appreciation” and more tiny airport security officer monitoring suspicious activity. 🤣🐦 No hummingbirds were harmed. Their dignity, however, may have suffered.

As you can see, Kate is making the most of her time in foster care (though she'd rather have a forever home!). If you're interested in making a difference for the animals in your community, reach out to our office about becoming a foster today!

Are you looking for Waldo? because we found him!

Waldo's Story

Waldo is an 8-month-old tuxedo gentleman with a soft heart and a kind soul. He can be a little timid at first, especially in new environments, but with patience and reassurance, his confidence grows more every day.

This sweet boy is looking for someone who will take the time to earn his trust. Once he feels safe, Waldo shows just how loving and devoted he can be—quietly forming a deep bond with his person and offering affection in his own gentle way.

Waldo is not a fan of being picked up right now, as it still feels scary to him, but he’s making progress and learning that human touch can be kind and comforting. With time, patience, and positive experiences, he will continue to blossom.

He does well with other cats but would prefer a calm, quiet home. Loud noises, fast-paced environments, and dogs tend to overwhelm him, and he will retreat to a safe space until things settle down.

Waldo would thrive with a patient adopter who understands shy cats and is willing to let him move at his own pace. In return, he’ll offer a truly special kind of love—the kind that’s earned slowly and deeply.

If you’re looking for a gentle companion to nurture and grow with, Waldo may be your perfect match. He is about 8 months old, vaccinated and neutered. He is indoor only and has tested negative for FeLV/FIV. The adoption fee is $125.

If you are interested in adopting, you can download our Adoption Application at tinyurl.com/oswego-humane-app; OR if you might even consider becoming a temporary foster caregiver, we would be excited (and pay all the bills!). You can email your completed application and any questions to [email protected]!
