The Humane Society of York County is featuring two adoptable animals this week, both ready to find permanent homes with local families.
Cinnamon, The Spicy Sweetheart
Cinnamon is a roughly one year old female cat named for her warm, rich coat color. She arrived at the shelter as a stray, with an ear tag suggesting she may have previously been part of a trap, neuter, return program before finding her way to the rescue.
After about 13 weeks in the shelter’s care, staff describe her as loving, playful, and laid back, with just enough spice to keep things interesting. Cinnamon lives in the Cat Lounge, which means she gets along well with other felines and could be a good fit for a multi cat household.
She is vaccinated, tested, spayed, and microchipped, and is ready to meet potential adopters.
Hubba Bubba, A Big Headed Charmer
Hubba Bubba came to the Humane Society as an owner surrender through no fault of his own. Shelter staff describe him as playful, silly, and affectionate, a dog who enjoys human company as much as he hopes his future family will enjoy his.
He does well with other dogs and is looking for someone willing to look past his oversized noggin and see the best friend underneath. Hubba Bubba is neutered, vaccinated, tested, and microchipped.
How To Adopt
Both animals can be met by appointment at the shelter at 8177 Regent Parkway in Fort Mill. Interested adopters can call 803.802.0902 or review adoption requirements at humanesocietyofyorkcounty.org.
Shelter Needs
The Humane Society reports that animal intake across the area remains high, with waiting lists in some cases. Two recent arrivals illustrate the demand on the rescue’s resources: a kitten who recently underwent a leg amputation and is adjusting well to tripod life, and an emaciated dog who is slowly recovering on a bland diet to allow his organs to recover.
The shelter is accepting financial donations, recurring donor commitments, and legacy giving through its website. Items of need include bleach, laundry detergent, and blue Dawn dish soap. Volunteers are also welcome at the shelter, at the Pawsibilities Thrift Shop and Boutique, and for off site fund, food, and toy drives. Fostering opportunities are available for those interested in helping the rescue expand its capacity.
So far in 2026, the Humane Society of York County has placed 77 dogs and 175 cats, for a total of 252 animals, into permanent homes.
