Cat Adopt-a-Thon
This weekend we are celebrating June's "ADOPT A CAT MONTH". Stop by our shelter to meet some of the amazing animals we have for adoption, with a special spotlight on our adult cats!
On Saturday and Sunday, June 12th and 13th from noon-5pm, The Lowell Humane Society is part of a Multi-Organization Cat Adopt-a-Thon where 12 shelters and rescues are coming together to offer Adult Cat Adoptions at HALF PRICE! The adoption fee for all cats over 1 year will be just $62.50! As with all adoptions, the adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip and registration, collar and I.D. tag and a bag of food. With over 40 cats to choose from, I am sure there is a match for everyone!
Visit our website to check out the amazing animals up for adoption!
No room for more pets? Why not help homeless animals by volunteering! Check out our volunteer brochure for more information! volunteerbrochure.pdf
Join us on Thursday, June 10th at 6:30pm at our Volunteer Orientation. This orientation is for individuals 16 years or older. Contact

JUNEAU THEN
This shows Juneau in January 2009, a few weeks after we took her home from the Northeast Animal Shelter. She weighed about 22 pounds at the time.

JUNEAU NOW
This shows Juneau this afternoon sitting on her throne (i.e. the living-room sofa). She can excitedly see any squirrel approaching our bird feeders. She now weighs about 35 pounds. There is still not much to her. She lives on swamp and spring water gulped while on her walks in the woods. She eats mostly late at night, after everyone has left the kitchen, when she knows my son Matt (still terrified of him) is asleep.

Juneau rules
Worn out from romping after squirrels and mourning doves, Juneau just manages to lift her head to acknowledge my departure for work. Juneau is doing fine. Except for remaining terrified of my youngest son, she has come a long way in the last 15 months. She is also the fastest dog I've encountered in my travels. She still does recklessly run into branches and jetties on occasion. She was so excited to be at the beach off Deer Island last week, she reappeared from a run with a bloodied snout.

Excited to join The Lowell Sun Blog!
With all of our upcoming events and happenings, we are excited to have been invited to join The Lowell Sun Blog! I can't wait to share stories of adoptable animals, fun events and happy tails of pets who have found their forever homes!
I look forward to posting stories, at times hilarious and others somber, to introduce you to our world at The Lowell Humane Society. I leave you with Haze, a beagle mix who has spent the last month at our shelter looking for a home!
I am a spunky, active guy looking for a home with lots of love, time and energy to share with me. I love to play fetch, go for long walks, and sniff everything along the way- I am part beagle after all! I would really enjoy taking a training class with you so you can see just how smart I am! Won't you see if we're a perfect match?
