Maddie was transferred into our care this morning. She's a 4-5 month old lab/shepherd mix. She's still a puppy, so she'll do best with boundaries and a good routine she's able to follow and rely on. She's a little shy, but healthy and will quickly blossom in foster.

Chip is a young 9 month old mix breed and would be an easy choice for a first time foster! He just needs a spot to land until he finds a loving home, and since he's still technically a puppy, boundaries and routine are important for him as well, along with exercise and play!

Junior (also referred to as Bodie) ain't nothin' but a hound dog! He is a one year old sweet heart who will require firm training and exercise, he's super loving, but has energy to spare!

Our dog coordinator is here to help with any difficulties or questions that may arise, and we provide our fosters with everything necessary to succeed! We'll send you home with toys, a kennel, food, bowls, leashes, harnesses, beds - if you need it, we've got it for you!

Suffering from FOMO after missing the amazing Subaru Loves Pets: Adoption Event & Pet Festival yesterday? It was an incredible time at Proctor Subaru Tallahassee, and there were lots of amazing dogs looking for homes.

At the event itself, and thanks to the promo that Proctor did for our adoptable dogs leading up, 18 pups found loving homes! Luckily for those who couldn't attend, we were stunned at who we still had waiting by the end of the event!

No need to fear that you missed out, you can still go onto our website and submit an application for amazing dogs who would love to join your family. We've put the names of some of these pups under their photos, and you can mention them by name in your application, but our online kennel has even more than this post!

AND at the event, Proctor Subaru unveiled a HUGE surprise: A Subaru Outback that we can use for Freedom Rides to rescue and transport animals in need.

You've seen the Subaru around town, we've been driving one for years thanks to the corporate nationwide Subaru of America, Inc. Loves Pets program, but a few months ago, our Subaru was rear ended and totaled. When Proctor looked into a replacement, they discovered the program was ending, and we would not be able to receive a replacement vehicle through the corporate program.

So, Proctor Subaru took it upon themselves to make sure we had a car to continue our rescue efforts and presented us with our very own vehicle! We'd be lying if we said no tears were shed. We can't emphasize enough how grateful we are for this huge demonstration of support. We rely so heavily on our Subaru for transport that being without our sweet orange Subaru the past few months has made us all the more appreciative of Proctor, and how essential this car is to our work.

It can't be said enough but THANK YOU Proctor Subaru! If you're looking for a company to support who loves animals, they really go above and beyond.

One of our fosters who normally has a soft spot for the pups rather than the felines reached out to us last week about a kitten at Mavis Tires & Brakes who had captured her heart.

In the middle of a busy day, she tumbled down the drain spout of their gutters. No idea how she got there, no sign of other cats up there, just a kitten falling from heaven into the chaos of a busy automotive shop right next to the busy N Monroe St.

Our foster quickly leapt into action and coaxed her out of the spout, but at that moment a giant tractor trailer drove by, sending her into a panic. She darted into the woods, where the team could still hear her meowing desperately but couldn’t reach or see her.

Now, this particular foster isn’t one to give up easily. She called us right away, and together we set a trap with help from the Mavis staff. For four days, she checked, reset, called into the leaves, and listened for faint mews in return. Finally, last night — success. The kitten crept in, tripped the trap, and her future changed forever.

She’s now safe, warm, and destined for a life of softness and care — a life she almost missed out on entirely, if not for timing, teamwork, and one person’s refusal to give up. She goes home with a kitty foster this afternoon to be pampered and start her journey to becoming vetted and adoptable. She's already started to purr and settle into her new life.

Moral of the story? You can catch that cat in your neighborhood. It might take patience, coordination, and a little determination, but it’s absolutely possible, and it’s absolutely worth it.

Do it for us, or do it for Mavis. 🐾

Get help from your neighbors, your community, your friends.
Together, you can change — and save — lives.

Sabrina is about a year old and as sweet as she looks. She's currently being helped at Animal Aid - Spay & Neuter Center and we're taking her into our program. This gentle girl is currently a medical case—she’s being treated for demodectic mange, a non-contagious skin condition. She’s already on the mend, but she deserves a loving foster home where she can recover comfortably.

Sabrina is housetrained, affectionate, and easygoing. She’ll just need a foster who can take her to a couple of vet appointments while her skin heals. We see dogs like Sabrina make incredible transformations in a short time and we can promise it’s truly rewarding to be part of their journey.

If you’ve ever wanted to help change a life and be part of one of the incredible transformations you see here, this is your chance. ❤️

Foster found!

Meet Duke!

A tiny puppy with a big personality! Duke is only 8-10 weeks old and small, but he thinks he’s HUGE. He needs a foster who will work with him on the grown-up skills he needs, like socialization and potty training. We cover all the supplies and vetting, we just ask our fosters to provide the routine, love, and care.

We expect Duke to find his home at the Proctor Subaru Pet Adoption Event on the 18th, so this will likely be a short-term foster situation—a perfect way to ease into the joy of fostering!

If you’re able to open your home and heart to Duke, submit a foster application at www.leoncountyhumane.org/foster/foster-application
