Do you remember Elsa? ❄️🐾

Back in March, Elsa gave birth to five kittens outside just before Blizzard Elsa swept through the area. Thankfully, a kind person found the little family and brought them to safety before the storm hit. Elsa proved to be a devoted and brave mama, doing everything she could to protect her babies.

Fast forward a few months, and all of Elsa's kittens have found loving homes of their own! Now it's Elsa's turn.

Once her kittens were old enough and she no longer had to worry about protecting them, we discovered that Elsa is actually a sweet, friendly girl who enjoys attention from people. She can be a little shy when meeting new friends, so she'll need a home willing to give her a little patience and time to settle in. But once she feels safe, her loving personality shines through.

Elsa worked hard to give her babies the best possible start in life. Now we're hoping someone will give this brave mama the happy ending she deserves.

If you'd like to meet Elsa, fill out an adoption application today at https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/e4b3b6a1-3553-40bb-b3c1-873aa983a037?tracking=3294744a-cd16-4270-8a06-974c01c0d4b7. ❤️

🌟 Where Are They Wednesday? 🌟

There's nothing we love more than hearing how our former shelter pets are thriving in their new homes!

🐾 Bailee is absolutely living her best life. Her family says it's hard to tell who adopted who! Wherever her people are, that's exactly where Bailee wants to be. Her favorite thing? Sitting right next to her person and holding their hand (or paw!) for as long as they'll let her. ❤️

🐱 Lucy the Siamese has had quite the transformation. At the shelter, she was known as our grumpy girl and needed lots of patience and time to adjust to her new surroundings. Then one day, something clicked. Lucy came out of her shell and decided her new mom was her very best friend. Now she's a cuddle expert and proudly holds the title of World's Best Snuggler! 🥰

💤 And then there's sweet River, who has clearly had a very busy day. This adorable kitty is making sure to get plenty of rest between all of life's important activities. Being this cute is exhausting work! 😴

Thank you to all of our adopters for opening your hearts and homes to shelter pets. Have you adopted from BAHS? Share a photo update in the comments—we'd love to see them!

Meet Mucky Duck 💛

This tiny kitten was found all alone out in the country, crying for help. The odds were against him from the start—more than 75% of kittens born outside don’t make it to their first birthday. But Mucky Duck is here, and he’s fighting.

At some point, Mucky suffered a severe eye infection that caused his eye to rupture. Tomorrow, he will undergo surgery to remove the damaged eye and finally be free from pain.

He’s just a baby who deserves the chance to grow up safe, loved, and pain-free—but he needs our help to get there.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation toward Mucky Duck’s surgery and care. You can donate right here on Facebook or on our website at bahs.us.

Every dollar helps give this little fighter the future he deserves. 💕

Hello everybody, Meow Mayor Shorty again!

I gave my assistant/Kitten Pepper a break this week, and I feel like I’ve been just as busy handling Meow Mayor duties without her as I was with her! It’s a good thing she’s cute because she sure seems to be slacking!

My first order of business after a break from Pepper was getting a new Meow Mayor portrait, which staff did a phenomenal job with. Doesn’t it just make you want to squish me?? Really get in there and give me some good scritches??

The good news is you can! Stop by any time the humans are here to meet me! Better yet, Empty the Shelters is back! Starting July 5th, adult dogs are just $50 to adopt and adult cats are $25!

My cute little bobtail self will be hanging out right in the front when you walk in for Empty the Shelters, and you can meet me, or any of the other cats or dogs here – I know you’ll find your new best friend!

This is my second Empty the Shelters and I hope it’s my last! The staff are great, the food is fine, but I don’t think BAHS is as good as a home! Word on the street is a forever home has the same Churu treats as the shelter, so that’s not even worth sticking around here for!

Come meet me ASAP or apply online now at https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/4c42f8d2-06ee-4f90-bb55-04e5cf3f6cc1?tracking=7f0a9c3e-38df-4c74-9543-f7fcbf5203c3

Shorty 😻😽

It's back!! Thanks to our friends at BISSELL Pet Foundation, Empty the Shelters is happening July 5-26th! Adopt an adult dog for just $50 and an adult cat for just $25. Plus, you can adopt some of our longer stay pets for even less! See all of our adoptables now at https://bahs.us/adoptables/

Empty the Shelters® returns July 5–26! 💙💚

Summer is one of the most challenging times of year for animal shelters. Kitten and puppy season brings an influx of homeless pets, while adoptions often slow down—leaving shelters overcrowded and stretched for resources.

That's why BISSELL Pet Foundation is partnering with shelters and rescues across the country to help more pets find loving homes through reduced adoption fees of $70 or less.

🚨 HELP NEEDED FOR OUR TINIEST RESIDENTS 🚨

We’ve just opened our last container of kitten formula! Right now, we are caring for 10 orphaned kittens who depend on this formula to survive and thrive. 🍼🐾

We are currently using Fox Valley Day-One Kitten Formula, and we want to stick with it to avoid upsetting their sensitive little tummies.

We’ve added it to our Amazon Wishlist at https://tinyurl.com/yxhw5jxj, but supplies there are limited right now. Another great option (and even a bit cheaper!) is ordering directly from Hazel’s Wildlife Supply at https://hazelswildlife.com/collections/fox-valley

Every package makes a huge difference for these fragile babies. 💛

Thank you so much for supporting our bottle babies—we truly couldn’t do this without you!

Happy Gotcha Day to some very lucky (and very loved!) pets! 🎉🐾

Elton and Buckly have officially found their forever homes, along with Lyria, Toaster Oven, and the adorable noodle kittens — Capellini, Gnocchi, Macaroni, Manicotti and Orzo! 💛

While we’re celebrating these happy endings, we still have so many amazing dogs and cats who have been waiting far too long to meet their families. Could one of them be your perfect match?

Plus more kittens will be ready for adoption later this week! 😻

Check out all of our available pets and fill out an online application at https://bahs.us/adoptables/. Your new best friend might be waiting for you right now!

🐭 Got mice? We’ve got the cats for you! 🐾

These cats aren’t interested in the lazy lap-cat life—they’ve got work to do! Our barn cats are natural hunters, ready to keep your barn, shed, or shop free of pests.

All you need to provide is basic care—regular food, fresh water, safe shelter, and veterinary care as needed. In return, these cats will happily make mice a thing of the past!

💙 Adoption fees are WAIVED! Each barn cat is:
✨ Spayed/neutered
✨ Microchipped
✨ Up-to-date on vaccinations

If you’ve got a spot for a hardworking barn cat, fill out an online application today at https://bahs.us/barn-cat-program/ and give them a job (and a safe home)! 🐱

Puppies shouldn’t grow up in a shelter… but sweet Melanie has now been waiting 70 days for her forever home 💔

At just 19 weeks old, Melanie is everything you’d expect from a puppy—playful, full of life, and ready to bring nonstop joy (and a little bit of mischief!) to her future family.

To help her find the loving home she deserves, we’ve lowered her adoption fee to $125!

If you’re ready for puppy snuggles, zoomies, and unconditional love, Melanie is your girl 🐾

Fill out an online application at https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/7bc04d0a-5522-4335-ace8-64b9827334bf?tracking=079fa7ea-24f3-49de-be30-938e827084ba, and we’ll set up a meet and greet!
