Smitty came in as a litter surrender. He and his siblings have been spent the last couple of weeks with some of our dedicated fosters. They are now ready for adoption!
Here is what his foster had to say:
`Smitty is a chonk of love! He is super affectionate and wants to be close to his humans at all times. He will follow you around the house and sleep at your feet. He also loves other dogs, and cats too, even when they don`t love him back.
He doesn`t like being shut up away from his people for the night, and will protest a bit, but mostly gets through the night quietly. But he starts yapping again about half an hour before the usual time you get up. While he is very playful, he has a tendency to nip in play. I have been working on making him understand that it hurts people, and he has improved somewhat.
He uses puppy pads some of the time.
Smitty likes to chew on furniture and will need toys and frequent distraction. I have found that Wellness Whimzees Antlers hold his attention pretty well.`

The Humane Society of Hobart was founded and received it's charter in 1954. Before this time, people were struggling to find a solution to the ever increasing number of strays and running animals who often met a cruel fate. With no facility to hold stray and abandoned animals, valuable and loved pets were sometimes cruelly mistreated or euthanized because they had wandered from home; strays were often shot in the streets.
The shelter was founded by a group of local citizens; the land donated by Bertha Jacoby. The first president, Morris Cox, started a drive to raise funds, supplies, time, labor, and material...anything people were able to give. Through the help of many, the shelter became a reality.
Originally the main office fronted Route 130. But, as the number of animals being brought to the shelter grew, so the shelter had to grow. In the mid-sixties, the present office and large dog kennel were added.
The Society has provided animal control for the City of Hobart since 1957, when we took in 3,000 animals. This number increased to 4,500 in 1960; 8,889 in 1964; to 12,430 in 1972. 10,000 to 12,000 was the norm until the early 80's when Lake County Animal Control's new facility was built.
In 2018, we officially became a no-kill facility. In 2019, we took in 2400 animals.In the very busy summer months we are approaching a full house, we do suggest people with their own litters try their local shelters and animal control facilities. Part of the reason for our popularity is the cleanliness of our kennels and the fact that we have no "set time" for the animal's stay with us. This depends on the individual animal's health and adoptability.
Our mission is to Build and Strengthen Pet Families.
