Clearwater, Florida – The Clearwater Humane Society has announced its adoptable pets of the week for the week of September 24, 2025, hoping to find forever homes for these deserving animals. This week's spotlight shines on a playful kitten named Whiskers and a senior dog named Buster, both eager to bring joy to a loving family.
Whiskers, a six-month-old tabby, was found abandoned near a local park. Shelter staff describe him as energetic, curious, and always ready for a game of chase-the-feather. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and ready to be integrated into a new home. Buster, on the other hand, is a ten-year-old Labrador retriever mix. He was surrendered by his previous owners due to their inability to care for him any longer. Despite his age, Buster is still active and enjoys leisurely walks. He is described as gentle, loyal, and would thrive in a calm environment.
The Clearwater Humane Society faces ongoing challenges with overcrowding, particularly during the late summer and early fall months. Increased intakes of stray animals, coupled with slower adoption rates during certain periods, put a strain on resources and staff. The "Pet of the Week" program aims to highlight individual animals and increase their chances of adoption.
"We encourage anyone considering adding a furry friend to their family to visit the Clearwater Humane Society," said Sarah Miller, the shelter's director. "Adopting a pet not only provides a loving home for an animal in need but also enriches the lives of the adopters. Both Whiskers and Buster are wonderful companions and would make excellent additions to any family."
Potential adopters are encouraged to visit the shelter's website or call to schedule a meet-and-greet with Whiskers, Buster, or any of the other animals available for adoption. Adoption fees vary but typically include vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying/neutering. The Clearwater Humane Society also offers adoption counseling to ensure a good match between pets and their new owners.
