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.

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.

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

WHAT ARE FOX PENS AND WHY ARE THEY SO BAD?

They say pictures are worth a thousand words. Please if you click this link understand that some of these images are graphic. End The Hunt's Pictures

"The appalling practice of wildlife penning begins when coyotes are caught in the steel jaws of a leghold trap and suffer excruciating pain. The traps can tear flesh, cut tendons and ligaments and break bones. A trapped animal often chews or twists the limb caught in the trap in an effort to escape. View the PICTURES page for pictures and videos on trapping of coyotes and foxes.
The coyotes are removed from the traps and packed into a cage with other injured animals. Coyote trappers ship coyotes all over the state, sometimes up to hundreds of miles, in cramped cages with no access to food or water. Some animals die on the trip. Those that survive are bought by wildlife enclosure owners.
In these enclosures, packs of hunting dogs chase the fenced wildlife for scored trials that sometimes last for days. The dogs terrorize and kill many of the coyotes." Used with permission from EndTheHunt.Org

You might be surprised how close one is to where you live. Here's a list of the pens operating in Florida. There is a large grass roots effort to rid the state of this barbaric "sport".

So what can YOU do to help?

It's simple really. North West Florida Daily News has published an article regarding this horrific "Sport" and more and more people are opening their eyes, but in order to close the pens down your voice needs to be heard. Please Contact your Congressmen, Senators and FLORIDA FISH and WILDLIFE CONSERVATION and tell them how you feel about this barbaric way of "shooting fish in a barrel." This "sport" is no better than dog fighting.
