It's Beefcake Tuesday (totally a thing) at Pope Memorial Humane Society! And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. We're showing off some of our big, beefy, ridiculously handsome gentlemen who are currently looking for families!

Today's lineup includes Archie, Mr. Grey, Jax, and Mr. Cheeks! Some have impressive cheeks, some have a little extra junk in the trunk (cough, cough, Jax), and others have perfected that rugged, tough-guy look. They might be a little rough around the edges, but don't let those faces fool you. These boys are absolute sweethearts, and each one is hoping to find someone who will love him just as he is.

So, who's got a soft spot for a big ol' beefcake? Ready to learn more? Swing by Pope Memorial Humane Society or give our team a call at 207-594-2200!

Peach, Pepper, Princess! Gus, Gumball, Griffen! Tofu, Turkey, Twist n Shout! Odette, Mordecai, Zev! Just some of the 59 names of the 59 animals who found families this past month! Cats, dogs, and some rabbits all found their people. October was a fantastic month at Pope Memorial Humane Society. Thank you to everyone for your support, for your kindness, and for your generosity.

We are humbled to be a part of a community that cares so much for its homeless pets in need. You show up. You make a difference. Now, enjoy a glimpse into some of the adoptions from October, celebrate, smile, and help us congratulate all the new families!! Whoop whoop!

Also, we know you recognize a lot of these faces. Tag them in the comments and let them know their go-home pics are ready!!

We tried the spooky ghost photo trend with some of the cats at PMHS. It went about as well as you'd expect when your models are more interested in snuggling with the photographer than posing for pictures. But we did get this gem, and we're still giggling.

Happy Halloween from all of us at PMHS! Have fun, stay safe, and keep your pets in a comfy room behind a closed door so they don't slip out with all the trick-or-treat traffic. Keep the candy for the humans and safely out of pets' reach, especially the chocolate!

A little over three years ago, a hilarious brindle pittie named Barbie came to PMHS. Goofy and full of antics, she needed someone who appreciated her zest for life. A little over a month later, Emily came to Pope Memorial Humane Society, fell in love, and Barbie found her person.

Now, we get to celebrate three years of Barbie living her best life! Her family reports, "We've had a wonderful 3 years together. We've moved a few places but now live in northern NH! She loves to hike, still hates swimming, and of course loves to sleep. Thought I'd give you an update and a big thank you for giving me my absolute soul dog. She is the best ever!!!"

We also hear Barbie celebrated her third gotcha anniversary with a delicious cake from her local pet store and bakery. Hikes, naps, cake, and a family who adores her? Barbie, we are so, so happy for you!

Yup, it's true! It's National Cat Day! You KNOW what that means: it's time to post your kitties! (Get your minds out of the gutter, you hooligans) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Archie here is excited to see your kits and is waiting for the awesome person who adopts him to post his pic... not that he is trying to guilt you into adopting him or anything...

ANYWAY, post your kits in the comments below. Tell us where you got them from; all kitties are welcome!

Time to brag about one of the absolutely awesome kids in our community!!!!

This is Tanner. Tanner loves animals. So what did he do? He went and bought a TON of toys for the animals in our care at Pope Memorial Humane Society! This past Saturday, Tanner and his family stopped by to deliver the toys and visit the animals. To say we are thankful for Tanner and his kindness is an understatement.

If you're looking for some good in the world today, here he is, surrounded by toys and ready to make a whole lot of shelter animals happy. Tanner, we're so proud to be part of YOUR community. Thank you for reminding us how much kindness one person can share!

Crank that volume and get ready for all the dopamine. We highly recommend putting this reel on repeat.

Ok, so confession. We are totally using these kittens and that sweet purr to ask for Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR). Our stock is extremely low, and KMR is vital to the health of bottle babies and helps supplement nutrition when momma cat can't produce enough milk! If you're shopping at any of your fave stores that sell KMR, or you happen to be on Amazon or Chewy, could you send a container our way? If you can donate, thank you so much! If you're not in a position to donate, we totally get it, and that is ok! Maybe share this post instead?

These nuggets are still months away from being ready for adoption (we will tell their story soon), but stay tuned for updates!

Archie, a story in three parts:

1. "You wanna scritch my cheeks?"
2. "Ohhhh yes. Perfect. Keep doing that."
3. "Excuse me. Who said we were finished?"

Here's the deal. Archie came into PMHS back in early June. He went on a state-mandated four-month quarantine (wound of unknown origin and no proof of rabies vaccination) and is now all clear and ready for adoption! He 100% knows what he likes, and cheek scritches and head boops are at the top of that list. Big, beefy, snuggly, big- yes, we said big a few times… he's currently weighing in at 22 lbs.

We should note that Archie is FIV+, but those who understand this diagnosis know that it spreads primarily through deep bite wounds, NOT everyday activities like sharing food dishes or a water bowl. Let's get chubby-cheeked Archie a home! Want to learn more? Swing by PMHS for a visit or give our team a call at 207-594-2200.

Shoutout to PJ Walter Photography for capturing such great pics of this hunk!
