**ADDITIONAL LIVESTOCK/FARM DISASTER RELIEF AVAILABLE**

Thanks to LOCAL generosity, we have also been busy giving out donations of hay to local small family farms with horses, cows, goats & sheep whose farms have been impacted by the hurricane’s flooding. Many had their barns destroyed ruining their winter hay supply or hay rolls submerged in flood waters making them now toxic. Pastures are beginning their winter dormancy so any growth won’t occur until Spring leaving many rural livestock at risk of going hungry. As we said in our earlier post, we don’t believe any animal should go hungry when we come together as a community to help each other during a crisis.

Please SHARE this post & contact us at 352-793-9117 if we can offer a few bales of hay to get your animals by & while our donated supplies last. Barney, the donkey & his little mule buddy in Bushnell were our 1st very happy hay recipients!

*** DISASTER RELIEF ASSISTANCE***

In times of disaster, we often witness the incredible strength and compassion that emerges from our community. When Hurricane Helene and Milton struck, it reminded us of the importance of coming together to support one another.

Thanks to the generosity of Greater Good Charities, our request for emergency pet supplies and food became available for those in need locally. If you have been affected by the hurricanes and/or flooding in Sumter, come to our shelter to receive dry/canned dog and cat food until our emergency donations run out. Ask if you need any other pet supplies and if we have any to spare, we’ll give what we can. We are here to help and offer a listening ear too.

FYI, on a separate note, every Saturday, our “Kibbles” Pet Food Pantry program provides essential support to Sumter’s families and their pets in need, ensuring that no pet goes hungry. In the future, if you would like to join our monthly Kibbles program, we will have information for you. One key requirement is pets benefitting from our pantry must be spayed or neutered. We can help with that need too through our “Big Fix” Spay/Neuter Voucher program.

Please know that you are not alone – we are here for you, ready to lend a helping hand. Together, we can rebuild and heal. If you have any questions or additional needs about our programs, please call us at 352-793-9117.

Our shelter has dog playgroups usually 5 days a week, Tuesday thru Saturday. This allows them to get lots of exercise, socialize with each other and learn from each other. The bonus is that it's time out of their kennels.

The public is welcome to come watch and maybe find a new best friend. With lower morning temperatures now, they normally go from 9-11:30 am.

A Heartfelt Thank You to ALL Our Incredible Volunteers This October!

As October comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to all of our amazing volunteers who helped our shelter. This month has been particularly challenging with the hurricanes that swept through our region. Thanks to your dedication and compassion, we were able to keep our furry friends safe and cared for.

Your selfless commitment to our mission, especially during these trying times, has not gone unnoticed. From preparing for the storms to ensuring that every animal received love and attention at our shelter or in your foster homes, from those sweating it out tending to our animals or making repairs to our campus, to those being at off-site adoption events and fundraisers, you’ve gone above and beyond. You are the heart of our shelter, and it’s your kindness and resilience that make all the difference.

You're ALL our Volunteers of the Month this October! Thank you for your hard work, your smiles, and your boundless love for the animals in our care. We couldn’t do this without you! Let’s continue to stand strong together, because together, we can weather any storm.

With all our love and appreciation for YOU!

Today is National Make A Dog’s Day & we wanted to share one super honey of a dog whose day was REALLY made with her long-awaited adoption!

Lovely Margot found her family today after patiently waiting in shelter for 416 days! We know this beautiful moment made OUR day the best too!

National Make a Dog’s Day encourages everyone to do something special for their own dog and to consider adopting, fostering, or supporting an “underdog”, ie., an older and/or specially-abled dog, which are some of the most vulnerable shelter animals and sadly often overlooked. It’s a life-changing way to bring joy to a deserving loyal furry friend and we’re confident it will bring joy into your life too!
https://hsspca.org/available-dogs/

Making a shelter dog’s day better can also be done with a donation of food, supplies or a monetary gift. Funding allows us to get them the medical care they need or to keep our public programs such as our free pet food pantry open or spay/neuter vouchers available.
