Pet of the Week: Meet Hermes!

Say hello to Hermes, our Pet of the Week! This handsome 1-year-old Terrier mix is ready to leave his stray days behind and find the loving forever family he deserves.

Hermes came to us from Evansville Animal Care & Control after being found as a stray. Although we don't know much about his past, we have loved getting to know him during his time with us. One thing is certain: whoever welcomes Hermes into their family is going to be one lucky pet parent!

With his easygoing personality and sweet disposition, Hermes is the kind of companion who makes it easy to fall in love. He's friendly, well-mannered, and has the perfect balance of a calm demeanor and playful spirit. He's happy to go with the flow and enjoy whatever the day brings. He already knows how to sit, takes treats gently, and walks nicely on a leash. He's got some pretty great manners!

There's something special to know about Hermes: he appears to be hard of hearing or possibly deaf. While we aren't certain of the extent of his hearing, it certainly hasn't slowed him down or diminished his loving personality. His future family may need to explore alternative ways to communicate with him, such as hand signals and visual cues. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Hermes has every opportunity to continue learning and thriving.

And if you have another four-legged friend at home, Hermes might be especially happy to meet them! He absolutely loves other dogs and has enjoyed spending time with several different canine playmates while in our care. A home with another friendly, social dog could be a wonderful fit. As always, we recommend a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is a good match.

At just 1 year old, Hermes has his whole life ahead of him, with plenty of love, adventures, and happy memories waiting to be made. Whether it's leisurely walks, exploring new places, playing with a canine buddy, or simply relaxing at home with his favorite people, Hermes is ready to be someone's loyal companion.

The good news? Hermes is ready to go home! He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, deworming, and preventatives.

Of course, raising a puppy is a big commitment. Truck Driver Bill will need a family willing to invest the time, patience, consistency, and positive guidance it takes to help him grow into a happy, well-mannered adult dog. In return, his family will gain a loyal companion who will be there for all the little moments and big adventures life has to offer.

Imagine afternoon walks, backyard playtime, cozy evenings at home, and a happy little face greeting you at the door. That's the future we're hoping for Truck Driver Bill!

Pet of the Week: Meet Kestrel!

Meet Kestrel, our adorable 4-month-old Terrier mix who is ready to find a family to call her own! 💕

This sweet girl has already been through more than any puppy should have to experience, but she hasn't lost her capacity to love. Kestrel arrived at Warrick Humane Society with a severe case of Demodex mange. Thankfully, she's on the road to recovery, and her hair is slowly but surely growing back! Through it all, Kestrel has remained a loving, cuddly puppy who simply needs a little extra patience and reassurance as she learns to navigate the world around her.

While in foster care, we learned that Kestrel can be nervous around new things, especially unfamiliar men. We don't know everything she's experienced in her short life, but we do know she deserves a family committed to helping her feel safe and secure. With patience, kindness, and positive experiences, Kestrel can continue building confidence and learning that the world has so many wonderful things to offer.

One thing that really helps Kestrel shine? Other dogs! 🐾

During her time in foster care, Kestrel absolutely loved being around the other dogs in the home. Their presence helped her feel more comfortable and gave her the confidence to explore her surroundings. Because of this, we believe she could thrive in a home with a friendly, confident canine companion who can help show her the ropes. A furry friend could make a world of difference as Kestrel continues discovering that life isn't so scary after all!

At just 4 months old, Kestrel has her whole life ahead of her. She needs a family willing to give her time to adjust, celebrate her little victories, and help her grow at her own pace. In return, they'll have the privilege of watching this sweet girl blossom into the confident, happy companion she's meant to be.

Kestrel is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and preventative care. She's also already spayed and ready to go home!

Ready to Meet Kestrel?

If you'd like to give Kestrel the loving home she deserves, please complete an adoption application on our website at warrickhumanesociety.org/adoption. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received.

You're also welcome to stop by and meet her in person! Our hours are:

• Wednesday and Thursday: 12–7 p.m.

• Friday through Sunday: 12–4 p.m.

Want an opportunity to meet adoptable pets before they're posted publicly on Facebook? Our Priority Paw Pass on Patreon gives members early access to available animals and an extra opportunity to find their perfect match. Learn more at patreon.com/WarrickHumaneSociety.

Kestrel may need a little extra time to feel comfortable, but underneath that initial shyness is a loving, cuddly puppy waiting for someone to believe in her. She deserves a family that will offer her patience, build her confidence, and show her just how wonderful life can be.

Could you be the one to help Kestrel spread her wings? 💗

Pet of the Week: Meet Hex! 

Meet Hex, our Pet of the Week! This handsome 8-year-old Australian Shepherd mix is ready to trade shelter life for a loving home and a family to call his own.

Hex has already had some pretty incredible adventures in his life. In fact, he used to go horseback riding with his previous owners! He would run alongside the horse and even ride on horseback himself. How many dogs can claim that kind of experience? Talk about a four-legged adventurer!

Beyond his unique story, Hex is simply a sweet, loving boy who enjoys the good things in life. He loves car rides, spending time with his people, and getting plenty of scratches and affection. Whether you're looking for a companion to join you on adventures or a loyal friend to keep you company at home, Hex has so much love to share with the right family.

At 8 years old, Hex is in his golden years, but he still has plenty of companionship, joy, and love to offer. Senior dogs have a special way of making a house feel like home, and adopting one gives them the chance to spend their next chapter surrounded by the comfort, security, and affection they deserve. Hex has known what it's like to have a family, and now he's waiting for someone to give him that feeling of home again.

The good news? Hex is ready to go home! He's up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and preventatives, and he's already neutered. All he needs now is someone willing to give him a chance.

🏡 Give Hex a New Beginning!

Our New Beginnings: Foster Event is happening now through Sunday, October 25, as we prepare to move into our new shelter!

You can help Hex by taking him home as a foster, giving him a much-needed break from shelter life while we navigate the move. And if you fall in love and decide to make him a permanent member of your family, you'll receive 50% off his adoption fee!

This special offer applies to any of our animals who have been with us for 30 days or longer and are adopted by their foster families.

Time is running out to participate in this special event, and Hex would love nothing more than to spend these next days enjoying the comforts of a home instead of a shelter kennel. Could you be the fresh start he's been waiting for?

Pet of the Week: Meet Bambi! (10/13/26)

Meet Bambi, our Pet of the Week! This 3-year-old Terrier mix is full of life, overflowing with personality, and ready to find the forever family she deserves.

Bambi came to Warrick Humane Society from Evansville Animal Care & Control after being found as a stray, so we don't know much about her past. What we do know is that she's an incredibly sweet girl with the happiest smile, a tail that never seems to stop wagging, and a goofy personality that will make you smile right along with her!

Bambi is all about fun, play, and adventure! She loves getting outside to run, explore, and stretch her legs. Give her some room to play, and you might just get to witness her famous zoomies! This silly, energetic girl has so much love to give and so much personality just waiting to shine in a home of her own.

When Bambi first arrived at WHS, she had a lot of pent-up energy and began showing some reactivity toward other dogs through their kennel doors. With extra playtime in our yard and training sessions with Teresa Hatcher of Systematic Training 4 Dogs, Bambi has already made wonderful progress. Giving her opportunities to burn off energy, play, and interact with people outside her kennel has helped her show us more and more of the amazing dog she truly is.

Bambi is a wonderful reminder that dogs need more than a kennel to thrive. They need opportunities to run, play, explore, learn, and build relationships with their people. Bambi would love an active family that can provide plenty of exercise, attention, and continued positive guidance. With the right environment and a family willing to help her succeed, we believe Bambi has all the potential to become an incredible companion.

The good news? Bambi is ready to go home! She's up to date on her vaccinations, deworming, and preventatives, and she's already spayed.

Give Bambi a New Beginning!

Our New Beginnings: Foster Event is happening now through October 25 as we prepare to move into our new shelter!

You can welcome Bambi into your home as a foster and give her a much-needed break from shelter life during this exciting transition. And if you fall in love and decide she's the perfect addition to your family, you'll receive 50% off her adoption fee!

This special offer applies to any WHS animal who has been with us for 30 days or longer and is adopted by their foster family.

Ready to Meet Bambi?

If you'd like to adopt Bambi or open your home to her as a foster, please complete an application at warrickhumanesociety.org/adoption. Applications are reviewed in the order they're received.

You can also stop by the shelter to meet her in person! Our hours are:

• Wednesday & Thursday: 12–7 p.m.

• Friday–Sunday: 12–4 p.m.

Bambi has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and so much happiness to share. She's just waiting for someone to give her the chance to show them what a wonderful dog she can be. Could that someone be you?

Help Bambi's next chapter begin with a loving home!

Pet of the Week: Meet Blade! 10/9/26

Some cats wear their hearts on their sleeves, while others need a little time to let their personalities shine. This week’s Pet of the Week, Blade, is a sweet, playful 5-month-old Domestic Shorthair mix who is looking for a patient, loving family to call his own!

Blade isn’t the type of kitten who will immediately run up to greet everyone he meets. He can be hesitant around new people and prefers affection on his own terms. Being picked up and handled isn’t his favorite thing, but once he decides you’re someone he can trust, you’ll discover just how sweet he can be! Blade loves cheek and neck scratches and enjoys attention from the people who have earned his confidence.

One thing Blade doesn’t hesitate about? Making feline friends! He absolutely loves other cats and kittens and is happiest when he has furry companions around. He’s playful, curious, and always ready to enjoy some toys and time with his fellow felines. A home with other friendly cats could be just what he needs to feel comfortable and thrive.

Blade originally came to us as a colony cat and has spent a significant portion of his young life in our cat room. We believe he would benefit tremendously from a home where he can enjoy a consistent routine, familiar faces, and the time and space to settle in at his own pace.

Blade may not be the kitten who rushes to greet every visitor, but sometimes the most rewarding relationships are the ones built on patience and trust. For the right person or family, watching Blade grow comfortable, reveal his personality, and learn to seek out affection could be an incredibly special experience.

Blade is neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and preventative care. He’s ready to take the next step and find a family of his very own!

Ready to give Blade a chance?

If you think Blade might be the perfect addition to your family, please complete an adoption application at warrickhumanesociety.org/adoption. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received.

You’re also welcome to stop by and meet him in person! Our hours are:

• Wednesday and Thursday: 12–7 p.m.

• Friday through Sunday: 12–4 p.m.

Even better, Blade’s adoption fee is currently 20% off, bringing it to just $76!

Could you be the person Blade has been waiting for? Give this deserving kitten the chance to feel safe, loved, and at home.
