Honey was so named for her very sweet disposition. This girl most likely had been raised as an indoor cat and then had a flea collar strapped on her neck and was dumped off in a strange neighborhood to fend for herself. We were contacted by a gentleman who said she came to his house frantically climbing the screen at his door trying to get inside. He tried for three days to ignore her thinking she would move on, but she didn’t, He said he could not have her because he was very allergic to cats. He finally bought a small bag of cat food, put it in a crate to catch her. He thought the county shelter would take her, so he drove her there. They checked for a microchip and none was found. They then cut the flea collar off her neck and told him they would not be able to take her, that he should just turn her loose in a wooded area near some houses in hopes someone would take her in. When he called us he was in tears. He didn’t know what to do. It was breaking his heart to do to her what her previous owner had done. As you can plainly see, we took her in. She is beautiful, friendly, and sweet as honey. She is spayed, negative for Fiv/FeLV, HWT, microchipped, and litter trained. If this wonderful girl looks like the perfect fit for your home please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com. For any additional questions please email Karron at [email protected] or call her at 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Honey.

Little Gypsy is a sweet, quiet, shy little girl. A friend came across her by chance when she saw some kids abusing her. This friend took her from the kids and brought her to us. Her intervention most likely saved this little girl’s life! Gypsy was born about May of 2023 and weighs 10 pounds. She is very timid around new people. It is understandable that she is not trusting of anyone she doesn’t know. If you are willing to be patient with her, she will become the love of your life. Gypsy if spayed, negative for Fiv/Felv, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. If you are interested in giving this little lady a loving forever home where she can feel safe and loved for the rest of her life please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com. If you have additional questions, please email Karron at [email protected] or call her at 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Gypsy.

Ollie is a truly special little Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who is only one year of age. He was born on 12/04/2023. Sadly, his first birthday was celebrated in a rescue shelter. Ollie arrived at our rescue with two other dogs because their family had become homeless. They were living in their car and could no longer provide for these little dogs. He is a bright little boy who gets along with people and most other dogs his size. He has not been around small children and can get a little grabby when excited during play. He will need a home with adults or a family with older children. Anyone interested in adopting Ollie must own their home and preferably have a secure fenced yard. Ollie weighs in at 10 pounds, he is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and crate trained. If you feel Ollie would make the perfect addition to your family please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information email Karron at [email protected] or call 352-586-9699. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Ollie.

Cold weather reminder ❄️
As the outdoor temperatures starts to drop, cats will hide under car hoods for protection and warmth. Use caution when you start your car in the cold winter month ahead. If cats are left outside, they may climb under the car hood. Before you climb into the car, slap the hood or open it for a quick look around ❤️

At only eight months of age, Bella is technically still at that gangly stage. As gorgeous as she is right now, I wonder how stunning she will be when she has filled out and reaches maturity. Bella was born on 12-14-2023, is dainty and fine b***d. I believe she will still be considered a medium sized dog when she is all grown up. She is a German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She is said to be mixed with Blue Tick Hound and Beagle, although I do not see signs of either of those breeds when looking at her. She is an energetic and happy girl, although rather shy when first meeting someone new. She gets along with other dogs but has little experience with cats. She has been around an eleven-year-old boy and did fine. Due to her energy level toddlers would not be a good idea. She loves to play with toys and is housebroken. She will be spayed very soon. She will be microchipped and receive a heartworm test (although she has been on heartworm prevention for several months) at that time. She is up to date on vaccinations. Anyone interested in adopting Bella must own their own home and have a secure fenced yard attached to their home. They must have the time and energy to keep up with Bella, make her a part of the family and keep her engaged in activities with her family. If all that sounds like a perfect fit for you, please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for more information email Karron at [email protected] or call her at 352-634-0423. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Bella.

UPDATE.....BENTLEY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!
Bentley is a very dapper gentleman. He is so striking with one blue eye and one brown eye! He is a senior fellow, born 8-15-2013, and will make a wonderful companion for a senior person. Bentley is friendly, outgoing, and has his fair share of that darling Shih Tzu attitude! He is friendly with everyone and gets along with other dogs his size. He has never lived with a cat, but he does not appear to be interested in any of the cats here at the shelter. Bentley weighs fifteen pounds, is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and crate trained. Bentley is receiving an over-the-counter gel in his eyes twice daily for dry eye. He is an absolute love bug! Anyone interested in adopting Bentley must own their home and preferably have a secure fenced area for him to go out to potty. If you are interested in making Bentley a new member of your family please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information email Karron at [email protected] or call her at 352-634-0423. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Bentley.

UPDATE.....CHANCELLOR HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!
Chancellor is a rather big name for such a little fellow, so we just call him Chance. He is a small, sometimes referred to as an Imperial Shih Tzu, weighing just 9 pounds, but struts around as if he is 10 foot tall and bulletproof! Chance was born 9-06- 2015. He is full of personality and can steal your heart in no time at all. Anyone interested in adopting Chance needs to own their home and it would be preferable that they have a secure fenced area for him to go out to potty. Chance loves attention, car rides, and playing ball. He walks on lead, is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and crate trained. If Chance appears to be a perfect fit for you, please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information email Karron at [email protected] or call her at 352-634-0423.

Dax is a timid little guy who arrived in rescue at about 6 months of age. He had already been in two different homes. Unfortunately, both homes had children who were abusive to him. In the first home the parents allowed the children to play with the puppy as if he were nothing but a stuffed toy. The children were very rough with him. He then went on to a home with an older child, even though 12 years old, he purposely tormented this little guy. The mother brought him to us saying she was afraid her son was going to kill the pup. I have no idea what was done to him, but he was very traumatized. Dax cannot go into a home with children. He needs a quiet adult home where he no longer needs to fear for his safety. Dax is a Chihuahua and Dachshund mix. He is two years old and weighs 8 pounds. Dax needs a little time to make up to new people, but once he trusts you, he is an absolute love. He is more comfortable with women, mainly because it is mostly women who work at our rescue. He gets along with most other dogs his size. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and crate trained. He will use potty pads. Anyone interested in Dax needs to own their home and have a secure fenced area for him to go outside to go potty. Due to his size, he should never be left outside unattended. If this little fellow looks like a good fit for you, please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional information please contact Karron by email at [email protected] or call her at 352-634-0423. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Dax.

We have had a few cases of mycotoxin poisoning recently. Its not a poisoning that folks are generally familiar with, so we thought we'd share the information to raise awareness.-

Ingestion of mouldy food from the bin or a compost pile puts dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even wildlife at risk for toxicity due to tremorgenic mycotoxins. These toxins may be found in MOULDY bread, pasta, cheese, nuts, or other decaying matter like compost. Clinical signs include vomiting, agitation, incoordination, tremors, seizures, and elevated body temperature. A specific mycotoxin called aflatoxin can even cause liver failure. Be sure to keep mouldy food and compost out of your pets reach!

Buddy arrived at our rescue a few months ago. He was found scavenging for food at an area landfill. He had numerous scabs from previous injuries to his face, neck, and shoulders. These injuries appeared to be from dog fights. As sweet and nonreactive as he is around the other dogs at our shelter, we believe he had been used as a bait dog and then tossed aside. After being at our shelter for a couple of days we started finding remnants of black plastic garbage bags in his f***l droppings due to his search for food during his time at the landfill. His ribs were showing at that time, but as you can see in his photos, he is now in good weight and looking like the handsome gentleman he was always meant to be!! We believe he is 2 to 3 years of age. He does love people and appears to be non-reactive to the other dogs at our shelter. He has not been introduced to cats while in our care, so that is an unknown. He has kennel space, both indoor and in the outside play areas, next to other dogs with no issues. We do not put our dogs in pens together, so I do not know how well he plays with others. As always, it all depends on the personalities of both dogs. Buddy is a real people pleaser and more than willing to do his best to do what is asked of him. We train the dogs to sit before going through the gate into their enclosure and it took only twice for Buddy to learn this. He no longer needs to be asked. He is treat motivated so he will definitely be easy to train. He does not seem to be that large, but he is a very solid, muscular 54 pounds….just not very tall. Buddy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and crate trained. He walks on lead but does pull. He will make a wonderful companion for an active person or family willing to spend the time and energy to make him an active part of their life. Anyone interested in Buddy needs to own their own home and have a secure fenced yard to hang out with him and play. If Buddy looks like the perfect match for you, please fill out an adoption application through our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com and for additional questions please email Karron at [email protected] or call 352-634-0423. An approved adoption application and adoption fee are required to adopt Buddy.

One week ago we captured a litter of four ferel kittens. We had been watching the mama cat pervious to the birth of her babies. The babies were born about June 15th. It took until July 20th to find them!! They are currently in foster care and will be available for adoption in a few weeks. The plan now is to trap the mama and get her spay, tested, and vaccinated. If anyone is interested in filling out an adoption application for one of these little darlings, the application is available on our website at www.humanesocietycitrus.com
