How You Can Help
If you would like to lend support to investigations like this and other cruelty cases, we recommend you make a donation to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton’s Rescue Fund. All money that comes through our Rescue Fund goes directly to the care of animals who have been brought to our organization through our Cruelty/Neglect Department. It is not part of a reward, but instead helps fund cases of abuse against animals that come through our shelter all year long. To donate to the Rescue Fund, visit

A Reunion Two Years in the Making
|
|
Yesterday, a cat was brought into our shelter that was found as a stray roaming the streets in Dayton. We scanned the animal to see if it had a microchip and we happily found one. However, the information on the chip was outdated. Our staff hopped on the phone to the microchip company and discovered the cat was adopted from the Humane Society of Delaware County, nearly 2 hours away Northeast of our shelter.
Our staff spent well over an hour making phone calls to try and locate this cat's owner. Luckily, we finally got the name of the person who adopted the cat and reached out to her. We were astonished to find out that the cat went missing TWO YEARS AGO!
The owner was shocked and elated! She immediately hopped in the car and drove to our shelter to be reunited with her cat. Jasper the cat has now been returned to his forever home and is doing so well!
Microchip Your Pet
Microchipping your pet is a quick and easy way to ensure that if your pet becomes lost, it can easily be reunited with you. The Humane Society of Greater Dayton offers microchipping to the public for just $10 per animal. No appointments are needed, simply bring your pet to our main shelter during our normal business hours. The whole process takes just a few minutes, but the feeling of being reunited with your pet if it becomes lost makes it all worthwhile.
