We’re so excited for tonight! 🎉🥳🍻

We’re so proud of our Dog Coordinator, Amy Raddar, and thrilled to see her honored with a proclamation from the City of Tallahassee, FL - Government. The depth of her dedication is impossible to sum up in a single post or proclamation. She gives countless hours, endless energy, and unwavering care. She's rarely without multiple foster dogs, and she personally takes on difficult cases to give dogs the best chance through her training experience. There are no challenges she shies away from.

Because of her, thousands of dogs have been saved, and thousands of families have welcomed a dog who changed their lives.

Her impact was especially evident this year through the rescue of Trooper, whose story reached audiences around the world and inspired the passing of Trooper’s Law. Amy’s hard work has sparked meaningful change, and that comes as no surprise to us—she inspires us every single day.

At the presentation, her supporters, family, coworkers, and fosters filled the room. She is a true cornerstone of our community and of animal welfare, and we could not be more proud. You can view the presentation beginning at 15:01

This year the anniversary party takes place at the picturesque Sienna Lee Gardens, and they'll have the football game playing on a giant inflatable screen outside so you can sip your beer, pet dogs, and stay up to date on the score.

🔔FOSTER PLEA ✨

Thor 😍 He is about a year old. Thor is super sweet, house trained, and crate trained.

Loki 😍 He is 9 years old and gets along well with everyone, including both dogs and cats. He walks well on a leash. Loki is house trained and crate trained. He steals hearts as soon as anyone meets him.

Bagheera 😍 He is about a year old. He is good with other dogs, not sure about cats. Bagheera is house trained and crate trained.

These dogs have been part of an ongoing case and were finally released into the care of a neighboring animal control after months of waiting. They deserve a soft spot to land so they can finally find loving, deserving, homes.

Now is the time to start fostering!

We provide:

✔️ A Kennel for a safe spot

✔️ All food and treats!

✔️ All vet care

✔️ Toys

✔️ Bowls

✔️Towels

✔️Leash

✔️Collar

EVERYTHING you need to provide for your foster dog is given to you, and we’re here for moral support every step of the way!

It’s always hard to find fosters during the holidays, but there’s no greater gift you can give than opening your heart and home temporarily to an animal in need.

You may have noticed when you flipped your Paw Prints Calendar to this lovely face that you're almost at the end of your calendar.

Have no fear, because our 2026 Calendars are in and ready for pick up or purchase for a $10 suggested donation here at our office Tuesday - Thursday 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. or at our adoption partner Tally Cat Cafe during their hours.

We'll have a full list of other businesses in town who will have calendars available later this week!

But back to this lovely face -- this is Juniper, who stood in Cricket's place for her photoshoot. Cricket was entered into our Paw Prints Calendar contest in memoriam, and she raised more than $1,300 for rescue animals.

From her family:

"Meet Cricket. Cricket was adopted as her mom’s very first “foster fail” from LCHS in May of 2023.

Cricket was saved by LCHS from an overrun shelter in Georgia. She had spent her first 6 months of life in a cage and was SO happy when her mommy picked her up. Even though it was a new place, Cricket moved into her foster home as if she owned the place. She quickly claimed the house as her own and slowly began to convert many of her owner’s friends into cat lovers.

Cricket suddenly passed away on the three-year anniversary of her adoption in May of this year. Her family is raising money in her name and in her memory for LCHS this year. We hope these donations will help us to give back to the program that saved her.

Cricket was the perfect cat. She loved cuddling with her family, treats, playing with her sister Lemon (also adopted from LCHS), and helping to foster over 10 foster kittens and 3 foster puppies from LCHS! Cricket loved every animal she helped to save, and she is missed dearly by her human parents and fur siblings."

As we mourn Cricket, we are also grateful for the impact she had on her family and community.

Last night at Mays-Munroe, Inc was SO MUCH FUN! We’re so grateful they chose us as their selected nonprofit for their Girls Night Out Event.

They generously offered to match up to $5,000 in donations, and we’re thrilled to announce that we unlocked the entire $5,000 donation!

With their huge contribution, along with VIP ticket sales, raffle sales from appliance prizes also donated by Mays-Munroe, the Girls Night Out Event raised a total of $14,725 towards our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Educate.

We had the opportunity to meet so many animal lovers and supporters, and many attendees took home fabulous prizes.

We can’t say enough, THANK YOU not only to Mays-Munroe, but to all who participated and came to this amazing event. We’re 100% donation run, so it’s only thanks to the continued support of our community that we’re able to continue providing lifesaving care and keep beloved animals in loving homes.

THANK YOU!

‼️THANK YOU! Fosters Found!

These three puppies are currently at Gadsden County Animal Control, they’re about 3-4 weeks old and are just barely weaned and switching to lapping up food/formula.

Animal control is no place for puppies, they deserve a foster home to grow up safely in, get vaccinated and vetted, and find homes. We don’t have any open fosters currently, so that means we need someone to open their home and heart so we can pull them into our program.

Is that someone you?

We provide ALL necessary supplies: puppy pads, towels, blankets, bedding, food, harnesses, a crate, toys, a baby gate if you’d like one — seriously, if you need it, we will make sure you have it. We cover all their vetting, you just need you to bring them to their appointments, keep them clean, happy, fed, and shower them in love.

This is NOT a plea looking for adopters. We don’t know what the parents look like, we don’t know the breed, and we aren’t looking at adoption applications for them — we’re starting with step one: get them to a safe spot.

That being said, fosters do have first opportunity to adopt if you fall in love.

Submit a foster application at www.leoncountyhumane.org/foster/foster-application

Submitted one already? Email [email protected] to let Amy, our Dog Coordinator, know you’re up for the task.

We’re so proud of our adoption partner, Tally Cat Cafe, for earning this well deserved award from Animal Shelter Foundation in recognition of all they do for cats in our community!

Our newest team member, Sandi Huffman, also earned an award through this Round of A-Paws, along with one of our hardworking veterinary partners, Animal Aid - Spay & Neuter Center.

A lot to celebrate and be proud of! Thank you Animal Shelter Foundation for taking the time to acknowledge the members of our community who are going above and beyond to make a difference. It takes a village, and we’ve seen how much we can accomplish working together toward a better future for animals and their people.

We’re grateful for each and every person working towards a better tomorrow!
