Adoption Spotlight - Meet Skyy! 🌈

Ready to meet the perfect pup? Skyy is a 6-month-old bundle of wiggles, tail wags, and puppy kisses looking for her forever home! 💕

This sweet girl is the best of both worlds - playful and cuddly. One minute she’s chasing a ball, the next she’s curled up in your lap for a nap.

Skyy is already working on all the important puppy skills:
✅ Crate training
✅ Basic commands
✅ Walking on a leash like a champ!

She’s smart, curious, and super food motivated - ideal for continued training. Skyy loves other dogs, enjoys meeting new people, and would thrive in a home with time for love, patience, and lots of play.

If you're looking for a pup who will grow into the best dog ever, Skyy’s your girl. 💙

Ever Thought About Fostering Cats or Kittens? 🐾

We're currently evaluating and working on a TNR location with upwards of 40 cats and kittens. We've started helping in a smaller-than-we'd-like capacity - grabbing unhealthy kittens and friendly adults, but we need to have fosters on board to be able to fully address the cycle and stop unwanted kittens from being born into an already overwhelmed system.

We'd like to start trapping to get feral adults spayed/neutered and released, help the kittens and cats we are able to rehabilitate adjust to loving indoor homes, and help sick kittens receive medical care and recover in a quiet place away from other animals.

So far, we've taken in 4 kittens and one adult, but we want to head back out to start trapping some of the more... intelligent and wary babies and adults.

To make a meaningful impact, we need your help! We're taking on this project in the middle of kitten season, where we already have so many cats and kittens in our program, so we need fosters!

All you really need is:
🛁 A spare bathroom or quiet room
🕒 A little time for a few vet visits
❤️ A loving, safe home

That’s it! You provide the cozy space and care - we provide the food, supplies, and medical support. You get to help a furry friend grow, heal, or find confidence before they head off to their forever home. We'll be here for you every step of the way, and we'd never give you more than you could handle. We make sure our fosters have everything they need so they and the animals in their care thrive!

Fostering saves lives, and it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do. 💕

Ready to open your heart and home (just for a little while)?

🎉 THANK YOU! 🎉

Because of YOU, our 2026 Paw Prints Calendar Contest was a howling success! 🐾🐶🐱

Thanks to your votes, shares, and support, we raised over $50,000 for animals in need - and in a thrilling turn of events, the dogs came from behind to steal the spotlight! 🐕📸 Earl Bacon Agency and Camp MoJo's were determined not to let the cats take over, and helped Franklin and Evie leap-dog in the final exciting moments. We celebrated Shoto as best dressed, and Frankie and Ivan broke into the top 13 this evening! WCTV.tv's Zak Dahlheimer held fast to her 9th place spot, and so did Goose and Stella at 11 and 12.

Don't worry though feline enthusiasts, Linus stayed securely in the #1 spot - but we almost had all cats in the top three, something that has (still) never happened in the history of calendar contest.

Beautiful Tate B Cumbercat played the game of cat and mouse expertly, but fell to 4th place. Our beloved Smudge fell to 5th, and Community Thrift Market, Supporting Tallahassee Action Grants, Inc.'s Bob was right behind her. Tally Cat Cafe's alumna Pixie made 10th place, and her owners brought Pixie Stix to celebrate!

The top 13 pets will be featured in our 2026 calendar, with portraits by the incredible Black & Hue Photography. Every dollar raised helps us provide emergency medical care, heartworm treatment and prevention, food and enrichment, ensure the spay, neuter, and vaccination of every animal in our program, and provide second chances to approximately 1,000 animals in our community every single year. 💙

From all of us - and the pets whose lives you’ve changed - THANK YOU for making this fundraiser one for the books.

We've said it before and we'll say it again, we can't do what we do without you, and we're beyond grateful for your generosity and compassion.

Happy Sweet 16th Birthday to our longest (permanent) resident, Smudge!

She brings comfort to newcomer cats and has a devoted fan club. We've loved having many of those fans stop in this week to offer her a Churu and remind her that she is adored.

Even though she's an old girl now, has no teeth and is on a monthly arthritis injection to help her stay nimble, she remains the same spunky leader. Other cats look to her for guidance, confidence, and reassuring head butts.

Help us show Smudge some love! Make a donation toward her entry in the Paw Prints Calendar Contest, so Black & Hue Photography can take timeless photos we can cherish for decades to come, and we'll get to admire her beauty in the 2026 Paw Prints Calendar (available for pre-order now!)

Vote for Smudge by visiting https://www.gogophotocontest.com/leoncountyhumanesociety/entries/580049 and remember, every vote is a $1 donation toward our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Educate!

Her birthday party is also tonight! Smudge's Sweet Sixteen takes place at our office and each guest will get a Smudge Sticker. We asked Smudge what gifts were on her Wishlist and she has humbly requested wet/dry cat food donations to restock our community Pet Food Pantry, (churus,) votes on her calendar entry so we can help future cats, (churus,) or Churus! her favorite snack. She's so generous!

••••Foster Found! Thank you everyone!••••

Charli is a 2 year old Corgi. He is house trained and crate trained. He gets along well with other dogs. In his previous home Charli was not treated well by the teenagers in the home so he takes a minute with older children. If you can foster Charli please reach out to me at [email protected]

Update: Foster found for Maverick!

Maverick was adopted from us as a puppy - and he's become a very important dog to our program in a very sad way. After being adopted in March, on the 10th of this month we received a call from his adopters saying they needed to return him to our program, because they were moving and their new landlord had decided he could not stay.

A bummer - we’ll admit it - but not unusual for us. Luckily, we have lots of amazing fosters and supporters who will often step up to take on a dog being returned, and we stand behind our adopted pets for their entire lives. We would never say "no" to someone who needed to surrender a dog they adopted back to us. We want them to have us as a safety net so they never end up in bad situations after we've worked so hard to rescue them.

We asked if they could send us updated photos and information (good with kids? Other dogs? Cats?) just to help us find a good spot for him and they said that would be no problem. They made no indication that needing him out was an urgent situation, and if it was, we could have boarded him.

The next day, a Good Samaritan found Maverick wandering on Stoneler Road and brought him to the Animal Services Center on Easterwood Dr.

Along with everything that COULD have happened to Maverick, the shelter was near capacity - especially for dogs. They had other dogs who entered the shelter that week, but Maverick took up a kennel. We couldn't pull him, because even though we knew his family had the intention to surrender him, without a signature releasing him into our care and acknowledging they were relinquishing ownership - he was a stray. The shelter was required to scan the microchip, contact the owners (who never responded to them or to us,) and wait the required 7 days for a stray hold. Even though he had a place with our program, he had to sit in a kennel for 7 days, preventing other dogs from being able to safely enter the shelter, and putting them in danger of euthanasia.

Even though in our eyes the timeline tells the story - without video evidence or an admission from the owner, weve been told we cannot pursue abandonment charges. If you are near Stoneler Road, checking your ring camera for anything unusual on the morning of the 11th would be appreciated.

Since we legally cannot get Maverick the justice he deserves, we will be editing our adoption contract to include fees or volunteer hours required if the animal is found abandoned or otherwise existing outside the requirements of our contract (on their property and not rehomed,) so that we can make sure people who choose this path have to see the effects of their actions. Had they communicated with us, this all could have been avoided.

We don't tell you this to make you angry - although, we spent several days angry. We tell you this so that you know and understand what Maverick has gone through, and you know what lengths we'll go to in order to do right by the animals we commit to by welcoming them into our programs.

Luckily, a wonderful foster stepped up for Maverick, but they had preplanned travel and need assistance from July 2nd to July 13th. If you are able to temporarily foster Maverick who is well behaved, house trained, good with kids, and a perfect gentleman, please submit a foster application at www.leoncountyhumane.org/foster/foster-application

Or, if you have already submitted an application, email Amy at [email protected]

If you have any information regarding Maverick being found stray, please email [email protected]

Puppy Sitters needed!

We have one of our amazing fosters taking a well-deserved break next week! She's raised these puppies since they were days old and she's only asking for a short reprieve.

Are you able to watch these adorable puppies from July 1st until she comes back to pick them up July 5th?

By then they'll be fixed, will have had 2 sets of shots, and are on heartworm and flea prevention. They are crate trained, but they're just babies so they're still working on house training. They get along well with other animals! They're all under 15 pounds.

Fosters have first opportunity to adopt, earn four volunteer hours a day, and are given ALL necessary supplies. It costs nothing to foster, but fostering is rewarding beyond words.

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

Already did that step? Email Amy to let her know you're available at [email protected]
