OUR FEATURED PET...

Cindy Lou



We call her little Cindy Lou from Whoville. She loves to play toss. Gets along with other dogs. She has been spayed and is a calm dog. Only toys that we gave her have been chewed. Now that she is used to being around us, she goes out back to use the restroom. We had to walk her around the yard to reinforce this. Very quick learner and very sweet. She needs a fenced yard but she also needs to be with the family. She bolted out the front door and ran around but came back to us when we called her. She is fine when we leave the house but when we are there, she wants to be inside with us. She looks like a tall scottie dog but weighs less than 20 pounds.

NEWS


My car isn't THAT hot... or is it?
While spring and summer mean more outdoor fun in Northwest Florida, warmer days can also mean sickness or even death for many pets left unattended in hot, parked vehicles. To learn how to keep your animals safe, follow
this link to the article written by JHS volunteer, Susie Forrester.



We are in need of Qualified Temporary Foster Homes & Forever Homes willing to make an animal a member of their family.

Please e-mail Frankie for volunteer info.

Who We Are & What We Do

The Junior Humane Society is a non-profit, all volunteer, animal rescue group. For the past 23 years, we have taken in owner released pets so they won't be taken to the pound/animal shelter. All animals waiting for adoption are placed in foster homes. Before placing the animal in a permanent home we provide all necessary vet care, including but not limited to shots, spaying and neutering.


ADOPTING A FRIEND

Visit our adoptable dogs and cats at PetsMart on Davis Hwy on the First and Third Saturday of each month. You can contact us or Petsmart for our schedule. Cats are available at petsmart throughout the week.

We do not have a shelter. We are able to save animals due to the kindness of others' opening their homes for fostering. YOU MUST CONTACT FRANKIE AT 850-968-3260 FOR AN APPOINTMENT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE ONE OF OUR ADOPTION DAYS AT PETSMART.
Our adoption fee pays for the spay/neuter.


Adopting a Rescue Dog: The First Seven Days is a free book that may be useful in helping you prepare for your adoption
and get your new dog off to a good start. You can download a copy here.

WHAT IS PETLAND, AND WHY NOT SHOP THERE?

Petland is a large pet store franchise whose reason for being is to make a profit by selling as many companion animals as possible. While in recent years many other pet stores have moved toward selling supplies only--inviting non-profit rescue groups into their stores to adopt out homeless animals--Petland sells intentionally bred puppies, kittens, rabbits, birds, chinchillas, ferrets, and many other animals, with flagrant disregard for the tremendous animal suffering that this causes.

Here are 3 of the ways Petland causes animal to suffer:
1) PUPPY MILLS
2) IN-STORE CONDITIONS
3) HOMELESS ANIMAL CRISIS
