Meet Mr. Boots!

Mr. Boots led a life as an outdoor stray before deciding that he wanted the plush indoor life. He was found by one of our fosters, who watched him until he was fully vetted. He was then moved into our program where we discovered his shining personality and traits… Which involves the boundary that Mr. Boots does NOT like to be picked up. He’s an all-four paws on the ground kind of guy.

That doesn’t mean that Mr. Boots isn’t affectionate! Quite the opposite, actually. This handsome boy will meow at you and follow you around the room looking for attention. He loves to rub his head against your hand or face, and will loudly inform you when you aren’t giving him enough love. He just doesn’t like to be picked up, that’s all.

Are you looking for a chatty, affectionate companion who will follow you around and keep you company? If you understand that love doesn't always mean cuddling, Mr. Boots might just be your perfect match!

Mr. Boots may benefit from a calming medication, and if you have a catio that is an added bonus! Having a secure outdoor space to explore and enjoy would help satisfy his adventurous side while keeping him safe.

Due to his inability to be handled, we are moving him out of our program into a foster’s home at the end of this week. He is still up for adoption, just not through us, so any adoption inquiries should be sent to his foster at [email protected].

Puppy fosters needed!

We’re in need of two fosters for two pups in our program.

First up is Pip. She is 23 weeks old and is super sweet, housetrained and is good on a leash. She has puppy energy but loves to cuddle, and does well with other dogs and children!

Next is Bloom. Bloom is a 20 week old puppy who loves to play, explore, and be part of the action! She is housetrained and is good on a leash, and does well with other dogs and cats.

Both of these dogs will need someone who is ready to continue their training and give them plenty of love. Fosters also have the first right to adopt!

Fill out a foster application here: https://www.leoncountyhumane.org/get-involved/foster/foster-application/?gf_page_5=1 Or email our dog coordinator at [email protected].

Fosters needed for three dogs in our program!

-Vi-Vi needs a temp foster. She's a 5 month old mixed breed with quite the personality! She's great with cats and dogs (unsure about kids, but she's very sweet!) Fully crate trained and almost fully house-broken. She had FHO surgery back in September and should be crate rested most of the day. When she's out of her crate, she should be supervised and play kept to a minimum. This spunky gal has been a fun addition to the home! If you're able to take her for the week of 10/27-11/3, please let us know!

-Pip is in need of a more permanent foster until she’s adopted. She is 23 weeks old and is super sweet, housetrained and is learning to walk on a leash. She has puppy energy and does well with other dogs!

-Mack is in need of a new foster! If you remember, Mack was the severely emaciated poodle mix that was brought into our program. He is doing great and has gained weight and energy back! He is needing a new foster home where he can be the only dog in the house so he can continue gaining weight and being spoiled.

Fill out a foster application here: https://www.leoncountyhumane.org/get-involved/foster/foster-application/?gf_page_5=1 Or email our dog coordinator at [email protected] if you can take in any one of these sweet pups.

Thank you!

Adoptable dog spotlight!

Meet Bloom, a 20 week old mixed-breed puppy who is looking for her forever home! She’s a high-energy, happy pup who loves to play, explore, and be part of the action!

She’s still learning how to walk on a leash and is doing great at potty-training!. She gets along with other dogs and cats, and can easily adapt to any family.

Like any puppy, she’ll need a family or individual who is ready to keep teaching, training, playing, and loving her as she grows. In return, you’ll get a goofy, energetic, loving companion who is just waiting to become your very best friend.

We had such a great time at the Proctor Subaru Tallahassee Loves Animals dog adoption event! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to gather and find dogs in our program their forever homes.

Speaking of that… We’re pleased to announce that 31 dogs were adopted!

We want to thank everyone who came out and joined in on the fun! It was truly an amazing day and we’re excited for the next one. Missed out? Take a look through the photos and keep up to date on socials for when the next one will take place!

Olive entered the LCHS family in November of 2013. At 11 months old, she was a badly neglected puppy and due to a complete lack of positive interaction with people, her demeanor was that of a feral dog. Olive was transferred to LCHS from the Tallahassee Animal Service Center with the hope that a patient foster home would break down her frightened and defensive exterior.

After spending a few weeks in the care of our Dog Program Coordinator, a bright and enthusiastic LCHS intern, Alex, was eager to welcome her first foster dog into her home. Still incredibly frightened and in the process of healing from emaciation and neglect, Olive was a challenge, but one that this young intern was ready to embrace.

Olive visited the staff weekly when Alex's internship duties called. These visits helped continue Olive's socialization, and it gave us all a chance to see the progress she was making. Under her foster mom's gentle care, Olive blossomed, and she quickly made it known she was where she was supposed to be, with the person she was meant to do life with. Olive was adopted by Alex.

Recently Olive passed over the Rainbow Bridge after living a full life. She is an LCHS Legend and she will be dearly missed. Please read the tribute below written by Olive's mom who herself has evolved from a young student intern to a wife, a mother of two, and a repeated foster and adopter with a forever rescuer's heart.

đź©·đź©·đź©· In January 2014, I attended the annual Take Me Home Adoption Event looking for my very first foster dog. I found you, Olive, and both of our lives changed forever.

It took four months of intensive rehabilitation to heal the most broken parts of you, but during that journey, we became completely inseparable—a bond that ultimately led to your official adoption. Throughout your life, you paid that kindness forward by helping me rehabilitate over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats.

You were a star, participating in multiple LCHS calendar contests and placing in the top 13 twice. I will always cherish the memories of your favorite things: car rides, beach days, and long walks. You were feisty, tough, and sweet all in one.

You weren't just a pet, you were a legend. Rest in peace, my sweet Olive.

RIP Olive Buss Gerry
(November 20, 2012 – October 8, 2026)
