I have to take a moment to share how incredibly grateful and thankful I am for my experience with the DeKalb Humane Society. I periodically look through the adoptable pets on the DeKalb Humane Society's website, just because I love seeing all of the animals who are waiting for their forever homes. Today, I came across a picture of a little black kitten named Petosky Stone. Something about that little face immediately caught my attention. Today, I went to the shelter to meet the kitties, and I honestly could not have felt more welcomed. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. You can tell that the people who work here genuinely care about the animals and the families who come in hoping to find their new best friend. And let me tell you... I found mine. The moment I saw Petosky Stone, I knew there was something special about him. He immediately came right up to me and put his little paws through the kitty enclosure. Of course, he was the very first kitten I picked up. As soon as I held him, he started purring, licking me, and making biscuits all over my chest. It was one of those moments where you just KNOW. I went in simply to look at the kittens, and I left with the sweetest little boy who I truly believe was meant to fill a little more love into our home. We renamed him Onyx, and he is already so loved. I also want to mention how incredibly CLEAN the facility is. It was obvious that the animals are well cared for, and the entire shelter felt welcoming and comfortable. Seeing clean spaces, happy animals, and staff who are genuinely attentive makes such a difference when you're visiting a shelter. It gave me so much confidence knowing that these animals are being cared for while they wait for their forever families. And if you're someone who has ever thought, "I'd love to help, but I'm not ready to adopt," there are still SO many ways you can support the DeKalb Humane Society. They have an Amazon Wish List with items the shelter actually needs. If you would like to help the animals, purchasing something from their Wish List is a wonderful way to give back. Every little bit helps provide food, supplies, enrichment, and comfort to the animals waiting for homes. And honestly... you don't even have to adopt to make a difference. Go visit. Go sit with the kittens. Go play with the puppies and dogs. Give them some love. Let them know that someone sees them. Sometimes a little attention, a few cuddles, and some playtime can mean so much to an animal who is waiting for their person. I am so thankful that I came across that picture of Petoskey Stone on the website. I'm thankful for the wonderful staff who made us feel so welcome, and I'm incredibly thankful that today brought Onyx into our lives. If you are looking for a new family member, PLEASE consider visiting the DeKalb Humane Society. There are so many beautiful animals waiting for someone to choose them. And sometimes, you think you're going to the shelter to pick out a kitten... when really, the kitten has already picked you. Thank you, DeKalb Humane Society, for everything you do for these animals. We are so grateful to have found our little Onyx there, and we cannot wait to give him the happy, spoiled life he deserves. Our family feels a little more complete today. read more
