It’s sweater weather! 🥶🐶🧣

Our dogs are bundled up and enjoying the cooler temperatures. We put all of our dogs in jackets during the colder evenings so they are nice and warm. There’s nothing cuter than a dog in a jacket!

Special thanks to our team of kennel techs who keep our animals dressed and comfortable during this time of the year. 🙌❤️

Are you looking for a buddy to go Black Friday shopping with? 🦃🍂

We are looking for foster families who are willing to welcome our animals into their homes during Thanksgiving for our first annual "Home for the Holidays" program!

VOCAL provides all supplies needed for your foster guest like food, leash and collar, beds, litter box, etc. All you have to do is love on them for a few days! This provides the animals with a much-needed break from the stressful life of the shelter and allows our adoption team to learn how they act in a home! Not to mention, they will get to experience the holidays in a loving home for possibly the first time!

You can pick up your furry guest on Tuesday 11/26 and they can return to us Saturday 11/30 (unless you fall in love)!

If you would like to participate in our Home for the Holidays program, please submit a foster profile on our website at vocalforpets.org, email us at [email protected], or call our office at (352)289-0800!

Remember Autumn? 🍁🍂

This sweet girl came to us from Marion County Animal Services a little over a month ago after being shot in the face. She has made an excellent and full recovery and is now available for adoption! She has gotten the opportunity to participate in our Slumber Pawty program!

"She is a great dog! So sweet and affectionate, she loves everyone! She's great with all dogs big or small and undecided on cats for now (but remains very curious) . She had a rough start and was brought in after being shot in her face. But you would never know it!

She is so full of life and love. She's also great with children. She would be the perfect family dog! She just enjoys being wherever you are. And for being so young she is very calm and has no issues with just relaxing and chilling with her people all day.

I have brought her over for a few sleepovers and she is truly a great dog!!"

Autumn is a 1-yr-old female pointer mix and weighs about 45lbs. She is already fixed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and kept on monthly preventatives. She gets along with everyone, people, dogs, cats, kids and is soooo sweet!!

If you think Autumn could be the perfect match for your family, email us at [email protected] for more adoption information!

Say hello to our most recent W.O.O.F. Graduates, Todd and Beulah!

W.O.O.F. stands for Women Offering Obedience and Friendship. This program is operated by Patriot Service Dogs and is a 6-8 week course where the dogs learn all of the necessary skills needed to live in a home! The W.O.O.F. Program training is held at Lowell Correctional Center, where the dogs live at the center with the dedicated women who are training them. Todd has already been adopted and is doing wonderfully in his new home!

Beulah is still searching for her perfect match! Beulah is a 6-yr-old female American Bulldog mix and weighs about 50 lbs. While in the W.O.O.F. Program, she learned all of her basic obedience skills like sit, down, heel, come, watch, wait, leave it, place, stay and much more! Her trainers said that she is very food motivated, smart, and eager to please! She is already spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and kept on monthly preventions.

If you think this super smart and well-behaved girl could be a good match for you, email us at [email protected] for more information!
