My story

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

Meet Donette 🖤

Donette is a sweet, affectionate, and utterly charming boy with striking yellow eyes and dark, handsome good looks that are sure to turn heads. But it’s his loving personality that truly steals hearts—he’s playful, gentle, and so eager to share his affection with people who will give him the love he deserves. After all he’s been through, Donette deserves a family who will cherish him forever, and we hope that special home comes quickly. He would make a wonderful addition to almost any household, ready to show off his playful side while snuggling close to his humans.

Donette was rescued as part of one of the most severe neglect cases our Humane Society team has ever encountered. Thirty-three animals were removed from a Dayton residence in devastating conditions: no running water, trash and waste piled high, and many animals confined to cages coated in their own filth. The surviving animals were immediately brought to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, where they began receiving lifesaving care, clean spaces, fresh food, and the comfort they had been denied for so long.

Despite the tragedy of his past and the absence of his former owner, Donette’s spirit remains incredibly sweet and loving. He’s ready to leave the past behind and enjoy the warmth, care, and joy of a forever home. With patience, love, and a few toys to play with, Donette will flourish, showering his new family with affection and playful antics every single day.

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.
