My story

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

Meet Brownie, a big, handsome boy with a gentle heart and a quiet hope for a brighter future. Brownie is still a little unsure of his new environment, which is completely understandable given what he’s been through. While he may be shy at first, it’s clear that he wants to trust and accept affection. With a calm voice and a little patience, you can see him soften and show the sweet, loving cat he’s meant to be. In the right home, Brownie will have the chance to build confidence and truly let his personality shine.

Brownie came to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton as part of one of the most severe neglect cases our team has encountered. Thirty-three animals were rescued from unimaginable conditions—living in filth, darkness, extreme confinement, and without basic necessities like clean water or medical care. Once safe in our care, surrounded by clean bedding, fresh food, and gentle hands, the relief was visible. For many, this was the first time in a long while they experienced comfort and kindness.

Now, Brownie is ready for the next chapter of his life. He’s looking for a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and love he needs to feel secure and confident. In return, Brownie promises quiet companionship, a grateful heart, and the joy of watching a resilient soul blossom. This big, beautiful boy has survived so much—and he’s more than ready to find his forever home. 💛🐾

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.
