Humane Society Of Richland County – Happy Tails!

Sam was our first seizure as Humane Agents. He was emaciated and dehydrated with little to no human contact. His owner had left him with her ex-boyfriend who didn’t have time to feed or water him.

But check out Sam now! Yes, these two pictures are the same dog a few months apart.

Look what regular meals and some love and attention can do. He looks so good and was such a favorite at the shelter that he is featured in our 2008 Humane Society calendar with the humane agents!

Sam was adopted by a great & loving family in Butler and spends his days giving & receiving love and attention and has anything he wants now. A true Happy Tail!

Miles was abandoned in a trailer by his owner who moved to Florida and left him alone in the middle of winter.

The call came in during a snowstorm that almost shut down the city in 2006. Our Humane Agents could not make it to Miles in the Humane Society van, so they drove one of their personal vehicles, a 4X4 truck, in order to get him back to the shelter. His owner had left the stove open and on to keep the trailer warm. Miles could have been dead very easily if the trailer had caught on fire.

After almost a year Miles was adopted as a companion for a single man looking for a best friend leaving his story another Happy Tail!

Hogan, a Great Dane, was taken in by our Humane Agents after a call came from north of Mansfield.

Hogan had made himself at home inside someone’s car and would not get out. The owner of the car was calling for our help. Humane agents Houghton and Rex proceeded to remove him from the compact car and the HS began caring for him.

He had been on his own for quite a long time and had nothing in his stomach but weeds and grass.

Hogan was adopted by a wonderful lady and has a “brother” to share his very own furniture with, that is, when he’s not spending his days at doggy day care. Another Happy Tail!
