Long-Stay Pet Program helps pets find forever home
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The Broome County Humane Society is a part of a new program where animals can transfer between different shelters across the state until they're adopted.
The BISSELL Pet Foundation launched its new Long-Stay Pet program.
Dogs and cats that have been waiting adoption for more than 30 days will get added to BISSELL's online platform.
Other shelters can see which animals are available on the platform and ask to have them transferred to their facility.
The shelter manager at the Humane Society, Amberly Ondria, says sometimes, just showing the pets to a new audience is all it takes for them to find their forever home.
'See if they would like to trade dogs. Or even, if they don't want to trade, maybe they have an adopter who's looking for a border collie, and they don't have one in their area. But a humane society in Rochester may have it. They can pull that dog from that shelter, bring it to their facility, and pursue an adoption with somebody who may be looking for that animal,' said Ondria.
Ondria says all across the country, shelters are struggling with increased capacity.
The Humane Society says from 2023 to 2024, dog adoptions have declined by 1%.
Community members are encouraged to visit their local shelters regularly, as new pets will continually be transferred in.

Windsor police rescue over 150 animals from hoarder house
WINDSOR, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – According to U.S. census data, just under half of American households have at least one pet. What about at least 150? The Windsor Police Department began an investigation last month into a household that was keeping 'an unhealthy and inappropriate number of animals'. Around 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, police with the aid of local humane societies and veterinary clinics took over 150 animals who were being kept at the house. Veterinarians were on the scene to perform health screenings before the animals were transported to shelters throughout the state. They will get specialized care and will hopefully be available for adoption soon. The police investigation is still ongoing. Lebanon police welcome veteran police dog… and human partner The animals included cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, and even sugar gliders. The sugar glider is a gliding possum native to Australia and nearby islands that strongly resembles a flying squirrel. It is considered an uncommon 'exotic pet'. You can read more about them at the Wilderness Society of Australia's website. More information about animal hoarding is available from the Animal Humane Society. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Shelter cat was giving birth when something tragic was found. ‘A lot of tears'
Animal shelter workers in Ohio are in mourning after a tough situation presented itself with a sweet cat who was brought into their care. When Tiger Lily first arrived at the Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Humane Society in Lima, she was in distress. 'A few days ago we had Tiger Lily brought to us. She was very emaciated, pale, dehydrated, and just sickly,' the shelter said in a May 27 Facebook post. 'Tiger Lily had a very noticeable ear tip which typically indicates she was spayed. Which made for bigger worries to why her abdomen was so large and pregnant like. The doctor was initially concerned about FIP. An ultrasound was performed and determined she was indeed pregnant.' And not only was she pregnant, but she was on the verge of labor. 'The doctor suspected she had several kittens in there. We took her back to the shelter to monitor her since she was due anytime,' the shelter continued. 'She started labor 24 hours later. Tiger Lily had two kittens without issue. But then nothing happened. We consulted the doctor and she was given several doses of oxytocin and still nothing.' The staff had to dig a little deeper and discovered not only complications, but something more tragic. 'So our medical staff took her back into the clinic for another consult and X-rays / ultrasound. It was determined she still had 4 kittens and THREE bullets in her spine area (suspected old injury). The doctor was baffled and worried her overall condition would make the odds of her surviving a c-section very small,' the shelter said. Their decision in the end was to euthanize Tiger Lily. 'We couldn't see putting her through that and still not make it. We discussed with the doctor and elected humane euthanasia,' the shelter said. 'The kittens were put in foster care. Tiger Lily is one of so many cases the last few days. It has been exhausting, financially stressing, and a lot of tears.' The shelter posted a video of the sweet Tiger Lily receiving pets and giving loving nuzzles before she died. 'We wanted share a small glance into what we deal with on a daily basis. We wish the outcome for Tiger Lily was different, but she is no longer suffering,' the shelter said. Lima is about 90-miles northwest from Columbus.
