It didn’t take too long for Archie to determine it was OK. They enjoyed their snuffle mat.😉

With the rain and heat we were having, indoor mental stimulation was in order. Rowan jumped right in. 😁 Archie is rather reserved. He held back until he determined it was okay…

School starts Monday in St. Johns County. Please drive with caution and follow the tips below.

1. 🛑 Stop for School Buses: Florida law requires drivers to stop when a school bus displays its stop signals. This applies to all lanes of traffic unless there is a raised barrier or median at least five feet wide separating your lane from the bus.

2. 🚧Follow the "10 Feet Rule": When stopping behind a school bus, stay at least 10 feet back to allow children ample space to board or exit the bus safely.

3.👩‍👧‍👦 Watch for Children: Be vigilant in school zones and near bus stops, where children may cross the road unexpectedly. Slow down and always yield to pedestrians.

4.🚸 Observe Speed Limits: Always obey the speed limits in school zones and around bus stops. Speeding fines are often doubled in these areas.

5. 🚍Never Pass a Bus on the Right: Passing a school bus on the right side is illegal and highly dangerous as children are entering or exiting the bus. Always wait until the bus has moved and/or the signals are turned off.

**🐾 Thunder Buddies Needed ASAP! 🐾**

Do you remember that movie where having a thunder buddy made all the difference? Our shelter dogs could use the same kind of hero right now!

With the storm rolling in, come grab a furry friend to foster, just for the next day or two. You'll keep each other company, stay cozy, and maybe even sing a little "thunder song" together. 🌩️🐶

Who’s ready to be a thunder buddy and make a real difference? Swing by today! We'll be closing early today, so head in before 5!

“ while we don’t think we will flood during the storm, we want to keep our animals safe. “

Update we will be Closed Sunday 8-4 and 8-5 due to TS Debby. We have been able to place all our animals in safe locations with wonderful fosters. Thanks to everyone that is fostering. If you still want to foster Clay County Animal Services still needs foster. They can be contacted at [email protected]

We will reopen once we are able to. Everyone be safe!

We appreciate all the support we have received during past hurricane seasons from our community! Due to TD 4 we need to evacuate the shelter. While we don’t think we will flood during this storm, we want to keep our animals safe. If you have fostered for us in the past and would be willing to take in animals during a storm please email us at [email protected]

If you have not foster but would be willing to help out during a storm complete our foster application online at https://safeanimalshelter.com/fostering/ fill out the information for dogs or cats or call us at 904-375-9122, if we don’t answer please leave a message and we call you back.

Let us know if you can foster cats or dogs, how many and are you willing to do medical fostering. We supply everything you need food, litter, kennels etc. We want to get as many animals out today as possible.

We do ask that you keep the fosters separate from your own animals unless you have discussed introductions with the cattery or kennel staff first.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

As soon as you make your holiday travel plans, whether you board your pets or have a sitter, also make your pet care reservations. 😉 🦃 🎄❤️

Hot, damp weather can aggravate existing problems in the gut, as well as the skin and urinary tract. Foods that contribute to Dampness include cold raw foods (animals on a raw diet should be served food that is warmed to room temperature), cow dairy products (goat milk and goat cheese are not as heavy), and greasy foods. Foods that contribute to Heat include highly processed foods, foods cooked at high heat, and foods that are energetically hot.

Avoid feeding dry kibble, starchy vegetables and grains, chicken, corn-fed beef, lamb, and goat during Summer Heat.
