Update:: thank you for all the shares. After a day of fun making new friends, sweet Kenji has gone home to relax with his family.

Help, I’m lost. I was found running the streets of Hernando and am looking for my humans. If you know where I belong, please share to help me get back home. Proof of ownership and rabies is required. Must also provide gender.

Meet Debo, he is 11 1/2 years old and our oldest senior. However, don’t let the senior number fool you, once he hears walk or senses adventure, that puppy-like spark lights up and he is ready to go! He is the sweet charm of a senior dog with a young spirit. Give him a home, and he will give you every ounce of love he has!

These puppies have been at the shelter since they were four weeks old. It is time for them to find a new home. They’re getting too big, please help get them a home. The shelter is completely full with no empty kennels.

These puppies need to be adopted. It's unfair for them to grow up in a shelter setting. Please consider adopting one.

🐾❤️A Heartfelt Thank You from the Hernando Animal Shelter ❤️🐾

We’d like to take this moment to send a Huge Shout Out and Thank You to the Hyfa Cheer Squad for their generous donation and support for our amazing fur babies at the shelter. This sweet group of girls, who are 5-6 years old, worked on a community service project teaching them the importance of being kind and giving. ❤️🐾

Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated and we know the sweet fur babies will enjoy all of the treats, toys and food. From the staff here at the Hernando Shelter, we hope you have a Wonderfully Blessed Day Day!
