Fosters Needed!

Henny: A 3-year-old Rottweiler who would thrive in a home without small dogs or cats. She’s got a wiggle butt and nubby tail that will steal your heart, and responds well to routine, lots of love, and - of course - treats!

Lily: A 5-year-old sweet and weird little mix who walks with an adorable limp from an old injury she healed from. She was adopted from us years ago and recently returned due to no fault of her own. Lily is one of our Dog Coordinator’s FAVORITE pups from over the years, which is a high compliment, but Amy is currently unable to take on another dog. Lily is great with cats, dogs, kids, and thrives on your approval. She’s a total people pleaser and we know she’d be an easy addition to most homes.

If you’re able to open your heart and home to either of these sweet girls, please submit a foster application at www.leoncountyhumane.org/foster/foster-application

If you’ve completed this step previously, email our Dog Coordinator at [email protected]

So grateful to Paws and Claws and Donnie’s family for all the care and love given to Donnie and Sam over the years. Thanks to them, they got several years they otherwise would not have seen with the highest quality care along the way. We appreciate them and all the love they give each animal they meet, but especially these two.

Please keep the Paws & Claws Veterinary Hospital team in your hearts through this difficult time, they’re mourning them like family, because they were. ❤️

We’ll miss seeing Mr. March - the basket boy, and Sam the wheelchair kitten around the clinic 😔

Just popping in with another reminder of what we're able to accomplish with your support!

While visiting a neighboring animal control in regard to other dogs, our Dog Coordinator Amy noticed this sweet girl trembling in the corner of a dark kennel. She was so scared that she was growling and snapping at anyone who approached, but Amy knew it was all for show and scooped her up in a blanket, cooing and reassuring her the whole time. Within minutes, this dog, now named Peggy Sue, was kissing her face and wagging her tail.

She's in foster care until she can put on some weight and get fully vetted. Even though Peggy Sue was not a planned intake, and even though we weren't sure what her bloodwork and medical needs would look like, with your support Amy was able to save her from that dark corner without a second thought.

We work hard to stretch every donation to save as many lives as we can and be there for those who would otherwise be forgotten, or those who just need a second chance and someone to believe in them.

Thank you for your continued support 💙

Fosters Needed!

Oreo 🖤: This sweet one-year-old is
a big border collie mix and was pulled from another rescue after winning over every volunteer he met. Oreo is a friendly, social boy who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves cats, and is gentle with children.

He’s currently in boarding while he waits for a foster or forever home, but this smart, loving boy really thrives with people and would be so much happier in a home environment. Oreo has a great temperament, plenty of playful energy, and that classic border-collie eagerness to learn.

Billie 🤎: Billie was recently returned to us through no fault of her own. Her adopters welcomed a new baby and noticed she was “misbehaving” by peeing in inappropriate places. As it turns out, Billie wasn’t acting out at all, she was uncomfortable and trying to tell someone she needed help.

After a vet check, Billie was diagnosed with a UTI and also tested positive for Lyme disease. She’s now on treatment, and we will fully cover and manage all her medical care.

Despite everything going on, Billie’s spirit is as warm as ever. She’s an adorable little bowling ball who lives for cuddles, snuggles, and kisses. Billie just wants to be close to her people, and she’s incredibly loving and gentle.

Billie is looking for a patient, caring home that can give her the stability she deserves while she continues her treatment. In return, she’ll shower you with affection and goofy, heart-melting charm.

While we were lucky enough to get several foster apps when we posted her a couple days ago, she really wouldn’t thrive in a house with cats, and can be selective when choosing doggy friends.

Interested fosters can submit an application at www.leoncountyhumane.org/foster/foster-application

Apologies for the slightly graphic photo, but after the success of Giving Tuesday, we’re always eager to show our donors and supporters the real impact their generosity has on animals in our community.

This tiny soon-to-be-one-eyed kitten arrived just two nights ago. He may look like a little mess right now, but with some TLC, eye medication, and an enucleation surgery once he gains a bit more weight (he’s only 1.2 lbs!), he’s on track to be completely okay. (And he’s got pain meds on board in the meantime)

Your donations allow us to say “YES” to animals in need—even when we don’t yet know the full extent of the care they’ll require. Because of you, we can be the safety net they’ve been hoping for, giving them everything they need to heal and eventually find loving homes.

Thank you for making this work possible! 🧡🐱🐾

FOSTER NEEDED!

This is Billie! She is a 4 year old Frenchie mix (maybe mixed with a bowling ball?) and was returned to us through no fault of her own. She is a very happy and playful puppy that enjoys spending time with her favorite person. She loves going for walks, exercise, and needs a fenced in yard since she loves chasing squirrels. She gets along other dogs who are also playful and friendly.

A home without cats is preferred because she’s filled with joy, easily excited, and they don’t seem to be her biggest fan. Billie enjoys rolling in the grass, sun bathing for 3 minutes, and exploring!

She’s a cozy bug who’s often found buried in the sofa blanket or under one of the bed pillows. She is also a cuddler, and enjoys relaxing on the sofa and getting tubby rubs/kisses. She gets so excited meeting new people that she has to give kisses.

Billie is house and crate trained. She knows ‘sit’, ‘leave it’, ‘no’. She learns quickly with praise and food.

The holidays often leave us short on fosters, so if you’re staying in town the next few weeks, Billie would really appreciate the opportunity to crash on your couch!

We supply the food, kennel, bowls, vetting, toys, beds, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you need is sent home with you!

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

Or email [email protected] if you’ve previously completed that step.

Happy December! Don't you LOVE Elroy's sweater? 😍

Elroy raised over $1,800 towards our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Educate during out 2024 Paw Prints Calendar Contest, earning him a spot in our 2025 Calendar!

From his entry:

Elroy is a 10 year old hound who loves the outdoors! His favorite hobbies include hiking, going to the park, riding in the car, and exploring new places with his nose.

Elroy was adopted 3 years ago from Swamp Haven Rescue in St. Augustine. Before that he was at the Clay County Animal Shelter, who found him wandering around the forest.

Since being adopted, Elroy has enjoyed a much more relaxed lifestyle that includes plenty of treats, toys, and, most importantly, air conditioning. He has an incredibly close bond to his parents, Tiffany and Ryan, who love him more than anything."

While we're at the end of the 2025 Calendar, our 2026 Calendar is available for purchase with a new round of winners from the 2025 Paw Prints Calendar Contest. If you haven't grabbed yours yet, they're available for a $10 donation at our office, or at:

🦴 Adoptable Spotlight! 🐕

Tacoma is a purebred Couch Potato! She gets excited for her walks, but more than anything she just wants to cuddle and get all the belly rubs. She would love a home where she's allowed to share your couch, recliner, or bed with you. She is crate trained, but does just fine uncrated while her foster mom is at work. She always greets her humans at the door with a wiggly happy dance, usually accompanied by a toy in her mouth. She has the sweetest little goblin ears, a cute pink-brown nose, and a big ol' smile she would love to welcome you home with!

She does well with other dogs, but can be a bit of a pushover, so its important for any other dog-siblings to have a gentle nature or else she may be bullied. She completely ignores cats and hasn't been tested with small children, but she would probably be just fine! She's a total sweetheart – her main "behavior issue" is that sometimes she can't hold her licker. This girl LOOOVESS to give kisses by the dozens. Redirecting her with a toy to hold usually works to stop her though.

Submit an adoption application so we can put you in touch with Tacoma’s foster family to set up a meet and greet!

ADOPTABLE SPOTLIGHT 💙🤎

Kane is a two-year-old French Bulldog full with personality. Once he bonds with his person, his goofy, lovable side truly shines. He’s young, active, and smart—always ready for a walk, a game of fetch, some toy time, or the occasional zoomies.

Kane thrives in a calm environment and will do best in a home without other dogs or young children. Like many Frenchies, he has a big personality and can be a bit stubborn, so he’ll flourish with someone who understands the breed and can provide clear rules and boundaries.

In the evenings, Kane is all about cuddling on the couch and watching TV with his favorite human. He’s also obedience-trained and knows his basic commands, including sit, down, paw, and roll over.

Kane is a wonderful, affectionate companion who would make a fantastic addition to a loving home!
