My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bret has been with us for a little while now, and we can’t believe this sweet, goofy boy is still waiting for his perfect match. Named in honor of a cherished Humane Society donor who passed away, Bret carries a very special legacy—and we know his namesake would be proud of the loving, joyful dog he is. He first arrived as a stray feeling a bit under the weather, but with care and kindness he’s blossomed into a healthy, happy pup ready for his forever home.

Bret has never met a stranger. He adores every person he meets and greets them with full-body enthusiasm. He may be a big boy, but don’t tell him that—Bret is fully convinced he’s a lap dog. The moment you start petting him, he’ll flop right over, gaze up at you with those big puppy eyes, and politely ask for endless belly scratches. He’s a snuggle machine with a heart of pure gold.

Bret is also a star student! He’s currently attending START classes through the Dayton Dog Training Club, where he’s learning and practicing good manners and training skills. He loves the mental stimulation and is proving to be a smart, eager-to-please pup.

While Bret would do best as the only pet so he can soak up all the love, he has more than enough affection to fill a whole household. He’s patient, loyal, silly, and so ready to bond with someone who will give him the chance he’s been waiting for. If you’re searching for a devoted companion who will keep you smiling, warm your heart, and happily curl up beside you for life, Bret is your boy. ❤️

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Greater Dayton is proud to be a no-kill animal welfare agency. We are committed to finding great homes for great pets! As a 501(c)(3) nonproft, we receive no government funding and rely solely on donations from individuals, companies and grants to fund our programs and services. We are not affiliated with any other animal agency on a local, state or national level. Since 1902, our organization has been devoted to being a voice for the voiceless. Although we proudly find more than 2,000 animals forever homes every year, we are far more than an adoption center. We currently have a wide array of programs to support animals in our community. Through our high-volume spay and neuter clinic, we are able to help pet owners as well as battle cat overpopulation through Trap-Neuter-Return. Our humane society agents also work tirelessly to protect pets from cruel and neglectful circumstances through our Cruelty & Neglect Investigations Department. Through our Veterinary Hospital, we can provide top-quality access to veterinary care at a low cost to pet owners. In addition to our many programs, our organization is unique because we are the only agency in the community able to handle all types of animals. This includes cats and dogs but also rabbits, birds, farm animals, pocket pets and exotics. Our organization is committed to providing our community, our state and our region with support and care.
