Although Raven's story has a sad tone to it she has not let it harden her. She was found in a landfill and felt as unwanted as the piles of garbage that surrounded her. She was rescued, however it was a bumpy beginning. She was scared, yet in a paradoxical way she craved human safety and comfort. It's similar to that feeling of landing a life-changing opportunity, as you awkwardly try to fit into this new, much needed mold. Alaqua staff and volunteers firmly believe there is a place for every being at our table, and with time and love Raven found a fan club, then eventually a foster home. She has learned what it feels like to be wanted and loved. She is cuddly and loving with her foster parents. She keeps her foster parents entertained with her goofy side, like she is trying to make them laugh. She is very cooperative and listens when you want or don't want her to do something. She kept her soft, shy nature. She wants to share her heart, resiliency, triumph, and the power of never giving up. She benefits from having another dog in the household to show her the ropes and help her with her confidence. She will soon find out what it feels like to feel a part of her forever family and receive unconditional love.

It would be our privilege to help you find a puppy, dog, cat, kitten, horse, or other animal that suits your needs. Our knowledgeable hands-on staff is familiar with each of our rescue animals and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. Looking for a cat-friendly dog, a laid back kitten or a horse with a lot of personality? We can help.
To start the process, visit our refuge – and if you haven’t yet seen it, you will be pleasantly surprised. You will be able to interact with the animals in a stress-free environment, unlike a traditional kennel.
Once you have found the perfect, new companion, we will assist you in completing an application. Following a reference check, approval of the form and payment of the adoption fee, you will be able to take home your new pet.

• Dogs, six months and older: heartworm preventative, flea preventative, preventative worming and vaccinations. $150

More about this shelter
Alaqua Animal Refuge was founded in 2007 by Walton County, Fla.-resident Laurie Hood when she discovered that countless animals were being euthanized due to the lack of a no-kill shelter/adoption organization in the area. Since that time, Alaqua Animal Refuge has helped find homes for more than 10,000 animals. Currently, up to 100 animals are adopted per month from this unique shelter and adoption center, which serves as a true refuge for more than 500 animals at any given time.
As we grow and develop our facility and operations, we will adhere to our guiding purpose: To give neglected, lost and abandoned animals a chance at life.
