Let’s help find Lola a home! Please share! PM us if interested and we will connect you!

Hi, I’m Lola! I am a 20lbs mixed breed dog being fostered in Nocatee. I had a rough start in life. I was brought over as a puppy from the Bahamas and spent almost 5 years as a family pet in a house with 3 kids. When our mom unexpectedly passed away, my dad was too overwhelmed with the human babies to keep me. Luckily a nice lady took me in and promised to find me a great home. She thought she found my forever home earlier this year. I lived with them for 4 months and I had a kid to play with again! I was their first dog and really happy there - but then something terrible happened. We were on a walk when a big scary dog attacked us! My boy and I were both bit. He dropped my leash and I went missing in the woods of Julington Creek for 8 whole days with an open wound and my leash and harness on! No one thought I would make it, but I am tough! When I was found on the golf course, I thought I would be returned to my boy but sadly they decided that owning a dog was not for them… so now I am back with my foster mom. She took great care of my wound and I’m all healed up with a cutie mark scar like a My Little Pony now. And I still love people and other dogs! While I like it here, I really want my own forever family before the holidays. I’m a good girl! I am housetrained, up to date on shots, spayed, I know my name, and I don’t chew or do anything naughty. Although small, I love playing with the big dogs at the dog park! I also love napping in the sun. Please comment below or send a message to the human writing this for me if you would like to meet me. I know we could be best friends! With love, Lola. 🐾

We have made the decision to be closed tomorrow to keep our clients, our staff, and our doctor safe during Hurricane Milton. Our hearts and prayers are with our fellow Florida residents on the west coast. Please stay safe and we will see you on Friday. We will call those with appointments tomorrow to reschedule. In the event of an emergency, please contact St. Augustine Regional Veterinary Emergency Center.

Dr. Hugh rounded up 6 ways to make sure your pets are safe during this active storm season. ⤵️ Contact us if you need anything and we will do a post if we have any power outages due to Hurricane Milton this week.

Hurricanes can be a stressful situation for Floridians and all coastal areas and islands. Families must arrange for food, water, get their homes ready, have an evacuation plan just in case, and care for children and pets. Plan ahead for your family pet care to make an impending storm less stressful....
