Great video and note from our friends at the Humane Society of North Central Florida….

We had the pleasure of doing nosework enrichment today in our thrift store. Barbie and Skipper are both long term residents and they are both 8 years old. Prairie is a new girl, on the younger side and is a super sniffer ! All three of these girls are available for adoption at the Humane Society of North Central Florida. Thanks Jane Hansen, Diane and Nancy for your continued help and support !
