Don't Let Facebook's Update Make You
Miss Out on Cute & Cuddly Animals!
Recently, Facebook changed their algorithims to have more of your family and friend's posts appear on your timeline. This is wonderful because we all want to keep up with our friends and family, but it also means that organizations such as the Humane Society of Greater Dayton will get buried and you may miss some of our great posts!

To ensure you see all of the success stories, adoptable pets and upcoming events we have going on visit our Facebook page . Under our cover photo is a small pull-down menu that says "Following." Click on it and change it so that "See First" is selected. This will allow you to see all of the Humane Society of Greater Dayton's items as well as your family and friends!
Saving Animals Every Day!

Volunteer Opportunities
Want to make a difference in the lives of cats? The Humane Society of Greater Dayton's Cat Assistance Team needs some helping hands! Through this program, you will be working with our Community Cat Coordinator to help lower the free-roaming cat population by using the humane and effective Trap-Neuter-Return method. We are looking for people who could help with trapping/transporting, clean-up, communication and canvassing. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected] for more information.
