Meet
Reba, a very sweet and loving young lady. There have been no problems
with Reba in her foster home,
other than she likes cats in a way not good for cats. She needs a home
with no cats or other small animals. Reba is good with other dogs! She
has been to pet adoptions and was perfect! Reba is about 1 to 2
years old.
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.
To make donations or to donate food please call 850-968-3260
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.
