***Kiara is on a super fun sleepover***

We are so in love with 3 year old Kiara. Sadly, she arrived because her family lost everything after Hurricane Milton. Kiara is THE BEST. Because she lost her family and her home, she is very shy and will need someone who will allow her to understand her life will be loved and safe again. She not only loves to dance, she loves other dogs, digs going on walks and smelling all kinds of stuff along the way. And loves chasing balls and giving it back … for a snack. This stunning beauty is going to make an amazingly awesome addition to a super nice family. She’s great with English and Math, so if you’re kids need help with school projects, she’s a great academic tutor … AND she doesn’t eat homework!

Stop by to meet caring Kiara. If you have other dogs, bring them along for a super fun meet and greet! Perhaps take her on a super fun sleepover and see that she’s a great house guest! https://humanemanatee.org/shelter/sleepover-program/ We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton.

***BoJack is on a super fun sleepover***

Look at this beautiful boy! This is 5 year old BoJack. He came through our Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program. He’s so sweet and gentle, it’s obvious he’s not feral and was dumped off in a dangerous area. BoJack and had no business going back out trying to stay alive. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Because he had to defend himself, he is FIV+ but that never stops our fabulous FIV+ felines from finding incredibly loving homes. They can live long healthy, loving and happy lives for many years. BoJack is looking for a family who has issues with suspicious red dotes flying around in the house because he’s VERY GOOD at catching and dealing with them. Your safety is his top priority!

Stop by to meet this amazing boy! Maybe take him on a super fun sleepover?! He’s got his duds packed. https://humanemanatee.org/shelter/sleepover-program/ We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton.

We LOVE happy endings and our successful Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program! https://humanemanatee.org/.../trap-neuter-return-feral-cats/ We posted Talia, a baby herself, the beginning of September. She was found in the bushes on 8/10 with her three very newborn children Maple, Freddie and Rambler. Sadly, they weren’t thriving, not doing well at all, so our amazing Shelter Manager Lisa started bottle feeding them, providing them with round-the-clock care. Talia went on a super fun sleepover and was adopted on 9/3 and now Rambler adopted his new baby sister and mom on 11/2. Congratulations to this adorable family! 💙🐾🐾🐾🐾❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We introduce you to a new heartthrob … this is 6 year old Thor and is an absolute dream and so much fun. He LOVES to play ball. That’s his life and his true passion. Other passions include going places and having fun, ball shopping, and people watching. Thor is a team player and sometimes let’s others win so they can enjoy happiness as well. He is selective with dog friends, so we encourage a meet and greet. He was an owner surrender due to severe ear infections that his owner was unable to afford. Thor will have to come back to our Veterinary Clinic for an Ear Cytology in a couple of weeks.

Stop by to meet this handsome dude. We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton. Our adoption hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm and closed for shelter lunch from 12pm – 1pm.

Hip hip hoooorrayyy for 3 month old Giselle! She arrived on 8/6 with her sister Karina through our Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program. Karina was adopted on 10/29! They were tiny newborns and needed immediate medical care and went into one of our fabulous foster home until they were old enough and strong enough to be adopted. We weren’t sure if they would make it through the first night … but they were little champs! We’re so happy that baby Giselle also became a loved family member on 10/31. Have a wonderful life baby girl. ❤🐾🐾🐾🐾❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

How adorable is this??! Confetti and Freddie didn’t arrive as sisters … but they left sisters when they adopted their new human siblings! Their stories are incredible. After waiting an amazing 158 days, 6 month old Confetti became a loved family member! She was found as a tiny kitten with her mom and siblings Comet, Bombette, Brocade and Rocket. Sadly, their mommy was very sick and passed, but her siblings were all adopted and Confetti finally was too! Freddie, is the daughter of Talia, a baby herself, who was found the beginning of September. Talia was in the bushes on 8/10 with her three very newborn children Maple, Freddie and Rambler. Sadly, they weren’t thriving, not doing well at all, so our amazing Shelter Manager Lisa started bottle feeding them, providing them with round-the-clock care. Freddie went from the brink of death to loving her new family! Congratulations to this beautiful new family. ❤🐾🐾🐾🐾💙🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Halloween has come and gone and now 4 year old Hickory is excited and is focusing on the “November Potato Wave Gravy Boat Ride”! He would love nothing more than to spend the rest of his Thanksgivings with a wonderful family. This boy is so special and has won our hearts! Hickory’s story:

Handsome Hickory was transferred in on 11/8/23 from a high kill county shelter in dire need of space. 51 weeks and 3 days to be exact. 360 days in total, almost one year. All animals that enter our shelter receive a thorough health evaluation by our veterinary team. Unfortunately, this exam revealed that Hickory was heartworm positive. His treatment was completed and his 9 month heartworm retest is due in December. So, he is still considered HWP until his recheck. During the months of his treatment, Hickory’s activity level had to be very restricted to allow his body time to heal. He wasn’t able to go on long walks or play with other dogs for his own good. This was very hard for Hickory because he is a very active dog who loves to run and play.

After completion of treatment, we found that Hickory had become nervous and anxious at times. He was now reactive to most other dogs and selective of new people. He just needs new humans to give him a little more time to develop trust. Once you earn his trust, he is a very sweet and playful dog. He loves to take car rides for picnics in the park with his favorite peeps. He enjoys belly rubs and back massages. He loves to play with balls, especially blue ones that squeak. He loves to chase ice cubes in water buckets and kiddie pools. He will sit for treats and takes food from your hand so gently. He even eats food from his bowl slowly.

Hickory is a great playful dog who will be a loving and faithful companion for a human that is willing to give him the time he needs to develop trust. He needs a someone that is a consistent leader so that he feels safe, calm and confident. He needs a home where he is the only pet, at least initially. He needs an active person who is able to walk him and play with him every day. In return, he will give you unconditional love. So, if you can provide a loving home where Hickory is given the time and attention he needs to develop trust with his family, please come to our shelter to meet him and see if you and Hickory are a good a great fit.

We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton. Our adoption hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm and closed for shelter lunch from 12pm – 1pm. For more information call us at (941) 747-8808 ext. 313 or email us at [email protected]

It’s a great day to adopt your next amazingly awesome family member. This beefcake is 2 year old Gunner and he had a great time at Sutton park yesterday smelling grass, meeting nice humans and brushing his baby's hair. Sadly, he was an owner surrender because his family had to move. Gunner is an absolute doll and a real show stopper. He loves a good time and enjoys playing in the yard and making friends. He’s extremely smart and also knows how to tell time! Gunner is all about fast cars with the windows down, romantic walks around the block and a good BBQ cookout. He’s never boring and won’t care if you’re having a bad hair day. He’ll make a fantastic addition to a fun family! WE LOVE THIS BOY so much. ***Check out his new ADORABLE Adoption Spotlight in the comment section*** We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton. Our adoption hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm and closed for shelter lunch from 12pm – 1pm.

LOOK AT THIS SWEET GIRL! We love her so much. 8 year young gorgeous Gizmo was brought to us because her family was going to release her outside and a caring person asked if we could take her. It would have been a death sentence for her to be outside alone to defend herself, because she is missing most of her teeth. And it turns out that during her exam at our HSMC Veterinary Clinic, we discovered that she has food allergies. Gizmo requires a special diet of: Hydrolyzed Protein Prescription Diet. The Humane Society of Manatee County will subsidize the cost of the prescription food for Gizmo. HSMC will contribute $25 per month towards the purchase of the food for a period of five (5) years after date of adoption. HSMC must purchase the food and adopter will buy the food from the HSMC clinic. Current cost (2024) of the Purina Hydrolyzed Protein prescription food is $52. Adopter's cost would be $27 per bag, which should last about one month. Prices are subject to change according to manufacturer. HSMC will not reimburse adopters for prescription food purchased elsewhere. HSMC will not ship food to adopter. No money will be given to an adopter to purchase food. Gizmo is going to make an amazingly awesome family member. She’s also eligible for our Seniors for Seniors program! https://humanemanatee.org/shelter/senior-for-seniors/ We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton. Our adoption hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm and closed for shelter lunch from 12pm – 1pm. For more information call us at (941) 747-8808 ext. 313 or email us at [email protected] ❤🐾🐾🐾🐾❤

This is a super fun video of Blaze receiving enrichment from valuable volunteer Birgitte! He is a 3-year-old sweetheart who's ready to bring some warmth and fun into your home! This lovable guy is the perfect mix of calm and playful, often found relaxing and enjoying some cuddles-his favorite activity-but he also has his fun bursts of zoomies when the mood strikes! His affectionate nature and easygoing personality would make him a perfect family dog, ready to share kisses and plenty of love. Blaze prefers two-legged friends to four, but may get along with another submissive, laid-back dog. A meet & greet is required if you currently have a pup at home. If you're looking for a calm companion with just the right amount of playfulness, Blaze is the best family member for you! We’re located at 2515 14th Street W., Bradenton. Our adoption hours are Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm and closed for shelter lunch from 12pm – 1pm.

***Madonna is on a super fun sleepover*** We LOVE our valuable volunteers! Brilliant Birgitte took this video of Madonna. Birgitte explains in the video Madonna receiving an enrichment toy! Queen of Pop Madonna is waiting for a last name. She’s 2 years old and sadly, she was found as a stray with her newborns Dwight, Dolly, Reba, Stevie, Carrie and Cher. All babies are now in foster to adopt homes and Madonna is looking to finally sing and perform solo! She does need to be the only pet in the home. Because she was a stray and not cared for and not on monthly prevention, she is heartworm positive. She is able to adopt her family and will undergo her heartworm treatments at our HSMC Veterinary Clinic. This adorable material girl is ready to have a happy life with a wonderful family who will love care about her.

Look at this little sweetheart. This is 4 year old Tiger. Hard to believe she's been here for 205 days!!! Sadly, she arrived on 2/28 when someone found her abandoned in a home when the family moved and left her behind. She was very malnourished and she needed some time to gather her thoughts and put some weight on before she was ready to adopt her new family. Tiger is an absolute doll and a real social butterfly. She’s got a mean purr too! Those days of neglect and being unwanted are over. Someone out there is going to be VERY lucky to have her as a part of their family.

Sebring, FL Urgents Friends of Highlands County Animal Services posted a CODE RED yesterday that they are again OUT OF SPACE. Sadly, this is a very bad situation for many loving dogs who shouldn’t be in a shelter at all. Yesterday, August 8th, was very emotional when we welcomed 3 year old Blaze, Roger, Smiley and Godiva. (See photos in the comment section) We are always so happy to be able to help their shelter, saving the lives of these adorable future family members. They are not available for adoption yet, but keep an eye out on our website and social media! We’re madly in love with them already. 💙🐾🐾🐾🐾❤
