As anyone can plainly see, Mo is about as cute as they come!! He is dynamite in an eleven-pound package. At less than two years old he has already had two homes. The next one will be his third home! There is really no reason for this to happen to any dog. We intend to do all we can to make sure his next home will be his FOREVER home! Mo is a Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier mix, with emphasis on his terrier heritage. He is animated, bright, playful, and very intelligent. He will keep you entertained and on your toes. He was raised as an only pet. I am currently fostering Mo and can tell you he has no idea what sharing attention or food with another dog is all about. As sweet and loving as he is with people, he is not good with other dogs when it comes to sharing. He views cats as an enemy. He will need to be the only pet. He is fine when taking him on walks or into the veterinary clinic, he does not try to attack other dogs, he just will not share his owner’s attention or his food within his home. That being said, he has the cutest personality and is so sweet and loving you will wonder how you ever existed without him! Anyone interested in adopting Mo must own their own home, have a secure fenced yard, the time, energy, and love to give him the life he deserves. He is a dog who will need to be groomed regularly. Grooming approximately every six weeks is not an expense that fits into every budget. Mo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative, microchipped, and walks on lead. He is housebroken if he is taken outside on a regular and consistent basis. If someone was interested in competing in agility with him, I believe he would be an amazing competitor! If Mo looks like the perfect fit for you please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information email Karron at [email protected] or call 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Mo.

Who can resist a great looking, tall, long legged, blonde? Lulu is all that and more! This lady appears to be a Curr mix. Judging from the way she moves we think she may be mixed with a breed like an Afghan Hound. She moves with long smooth strides while her back remains even. If I were describing a horse, I would say she moves like a Tennessee Walker. Lulu is four years of age (D.O.B. 04-01-2021) and weighs eighty pounds. She is friendly with people, loves attention, going on walks, car rides, and playing ball. If you are looking for a jogging companion you won’t find a more willing partner than Lulu!! She has been around children, but due to her size she will be better with older children, not toddlers. She does fine when meeting other dogs while out for a walk, but she has not lived with another dog and is still trying to adjust to the number of dogs in a shelter atmosphere. When the other dogs pass by her kennel, she is defensive. She will do best as an only dog. She did, however, live with and was friends with an elderly cat. Lulu is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, housebroken, and walks well on lead. Lulu is a house dog. Anyone interested in adopting Lulu must own their home, have a secure fenced yard, and have the time and energy for her. If this sweet girl looks like a perfect fit for your family please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information email Karron at [email protected] or call 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required in order to adopt Lulu.

Because as a lady ages and gains life experience, pearls can represent wisdom and maturity, which is why Miss Daisy is wearing pearls for her photos. Daisy is an eight-year young lady who arrived in rescue along with her nine-year young mama, Priya, due to very difficult circumstances. They have happily lived together ever since Daisy was born. Their person who loved and cared for them, the person they depended on throughout their lives, recently passed away. As if that wasn’t bad enough, when he passed away no one found him or the pups for three days! Just imagine the trauma these little ladies endured during those long three days. A family friend took them in, but she lived in a community that only allowed each household to have one dog. She already had one dog. She was told that she had to “get rid” of Priya and Daisy or she would be evicted. How quickly their lives had been turned upside down! They have lost EVERYTHING but each other. We are looking for someone interested in adopting this mother and daughter duo so that they can live the rest of their lives safely together. Is that someone YOU? Daisy is a little terrier mix (on her mama’s side) and daddy was part Beagle. she weighs 19 pounds. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is housebroken and walks well on lead. She has not lived with small children or cats. She gets along with her mama but may be selective about other dogs. Anyone interested in adopting her needs to own their own home. If you believe these sweet ladies would be a good fit to complete your family please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for more information you can email Karron at [email protected] or call her at 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Daisy.

UPDATE.....ADOPTION PENDING!!

Try as we might, these pictures do not do this little girl justice. Some photos were taken before a haircut, and others were taken after the haircut. I must say that getting her to pose for pictures is like trying to harness the wind!! We will update pictures as we get better ones. This little lady is Sissy, she is a tiny little Maltese weighing about eight pounds and will be turning two years old on July 22, 2025. She is a happy, spirited girl who will bring joy and energy along wherever she goes. She loves to be cuddled and wants to be the center of your life. Sissy gets along with most dogs her size but would be just as happy to be an only dog and be the center of your universe. The Maltese is a breed that must be groomed on a regular schedule. Before filling out an adoption application for Sissy please consider the expense of having her groomed every 4 to 6 weeks. That cost does not fit into every budget. Anyone interested in adopting Sissy must own their own home and have a secure fenced area for supervised play and potty. She has been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting this little ray of sunshine please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information contact Karron by email at [email protected] or call 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required in order to adopt Sissy.

Cleocatra and her three siblings were found in a little hideaway where her mama had birthed them. They were born approximately June 15, 2024, and found when they were about 5 weeks old. Mama is a feral cat who was later trapped and spayed. She is part of a colony and is being fed daily but is not friendly enough to allow people to pet or hold her.
