Follow @LibertyHumaneJCBack in Black Adoption Promotion
Throughout the month of May, Liberty Humane Society will be partnering with Best Friends Animal Society for the “Back in Black” adoption promotion which is designed to showcase all of the wonderful black dogs and cats looking for their forever home. Even though black animals range in personality and make great pets, they are often overlooked by potential adopters due to outdated myths.
Take a look at Liberty Humane’s adoptable pet list online or come visit the shelter this month to meet the black dogs and cats, which will be available at 50% off of the standard adoption fee. All adoptable animals are spayed/neutered and come with their vaccinations, a micro-chip, and 30-days pet insurance.
Clean Out Your Closet for the LHS Yard Sale Fundraiser
On Saturday, June 16th, Liberty Humane will be hosting a yard sale fundraiser. All of our supporters are invited to donate unwanted items that will be sold at the event. Proceeds from the items sold will go directly to Liberty Humane's operating budget. Could you think of a better reason to clean out that closet, garage or attic? We can't! You can also reach out to family, friends and co-workers to see if they have some items to donate. It's an easy way to help support Liberty Humane's mission.
Need a place to store your items in advance of the yard sale? No problem! PODS has generously donated a storage unit that we will pack with yard sale items from now until June 16th. Interested in donating? Check out the details here.
THE KITTEN INVASION IS UPON US
Liberty Humane is preparing for the influx of hundreds of kittens during . . . KITTEN SEASON! Throughout the next several months, Liberty Humane must drastically increase food and medical supplies to care for the hordes of cuddly, purring kittens. Support in all forms from LHS donors is essential during this time of year. Check out our hilarious kitten season video parody to learn about the various ways you can help!
The Tessa and Jack Memorial Fund
Over President's Day weekend, a destructive fire tore through a retail/apartment building on 300 Washington Street in Hoboken. Unfortunately, two cats named Tessa and Jack did not make it out of the fire alive. Suffocated by smoke, the two were found under their owner's bed huddled together.
In memory of Tessa and Jack, their owners, Bethany and Kevin Rose have created a memorial fund for Liberty Humane. The memorial fund will be utilized to develop infrastructure improvements to Liberty Humane’s cat housing.

LHS Spotlight
Featured Cat
Dora
Dora is a sweet, young gal who likes to sing. She is one of the most talkative cats in the Liberty Humane cattery. She engages her human friends and those whom she's never even met before with her chatty personality. Once in a home, you may even be able to film her when she's chatting away and become a youtube sensation! At two years old, Dora still has a bundle of energy. She absolutely loves to play with humans and cats alike. Plus, her petite stature makes her seem more like a teenage kitty! Perfect for a household with other young cats and kids to play with!

Featured Dog
Gunner
My name is Gunner and I am a sweet, affectionate dude! I was tied to a park bench by his family that I loved so much and watched them walk away from me. Now I get worried about being abandoned again.I love just about everyone I meet! I consider myself a lap dog despite my larger size. I enjoy playing with people and I'm extremely loyal to my special people.I listen very well, I'm housetrained and my favorite thing to do is curl up with you on the couch while you are watching a movie. My favorite toy is my Kong, especially when it is filled with peanut butter! I walk great with a harness and especially love long runs and walks on the beach. Im comfortable with all types of handling and will readily share my resources with people.I already know some basic commands (sit, paw, and down) and I'm eager to learn more for a taste of my favorite treats! Please check my very own pinterest page (http://pinterest.com/dariaben/looking-for-true-love/) to see more photos of me!
