My story

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

Leela’s journey has not been easy. She came to us as a stray, carrying the scars of chemical burns on her back and an enlarged right eye. Her medical intake revealed she was heartworm positive, and she now receives daily eye drops to help with her moderate visual impairment. Despite all she’s endured, Leela’s spirit shines bright.
This sweet girl loves her walks, playtime, and most of all...feeding time! She’s a big fan of treats, which makes training fun and rewarding. Leela is working on her leash manners, and with a tasty bone or two, she’s eager to learn new tricks.
Because of her heartworm treatment, Leela hasn’t yet been introduced to other pups, but once she’s fully recovered, we’re hopeful she’ll enjoy making doggo friends. In the meantime, she’s showing us every day how resilient, affectionate, and joyful she truly is.
Leela is microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and spayed. She`s ready to begin her new chapter in a loving home. She deserves a family who will see past her hardships and cherish the wonderful companion she is becoming.
Could you be the one to give Leela the safe, happy life she’s been waiting for?

Additional adoption info

It is the goal of the SJBHS to find a good match for all of our adoptable animals. In that effort, we screen every home before we approve an adoption. In general, SJBHS uses the following guidelines when determining the status of an applicant for adoption, with the understanding that if there is a questionable application, the Executive Director will make the final decision on adoption and may choose to approve applications that fall outside of these general guidelines.
In general, SJBHS does NOT adopt to:
•Homes in which other animals are not current on vaccinations and are not altered
•Homes that have previously given away an animal
All applicants will have to provide their veterinarian information prior to adoption approval.

More about this shelter

St. Joseph Bay Humane Society, Inc. is dedicated to relieve animal suffering, prevent animal cruelty, promote human education and enhance the animal and human bond.

Before SJBHS was founded, conditions at the city and county pounds were deplorable and not likely to get better. Animals were being killed at a rate of approximately 70 per month.

The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society was formed to alleivate the suffering. The Society received it's 501c3 status in 1998.
A new facility was constructed in 2007 and provides safe housing for the homeless animals of our county.

The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society is proud to announce its DAWGS in Prison program, a joint effort with Gulf Correctional Institution.
All of the dogs selected for this program go through an intense 8-week training session and live with their trainers, handlers and caretakers in a dormitory style work camp. All of these dogs have had an extensive temperament test and get along well with other dogs and people. They are available for adoption immediately and will able to go to their forever homes with you after graduation.

We continue to educate the public about the importance of spaying or neutering their pets. We do this through our own adoption events and ongoing community events.

We continue to be successful, thanks to the efforts of our volunteers and fundraisers. Paws in the Park and the Bow Wow Bash are huge seasonal fundraisers for us.
Faith's Thrift Hut one of our other major fundraiser and operates on donations and volunteer workers.
It is located on our property ajacent to the Shelter.
