My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

From Marina's foster mom:
Marina is a sassy girl with a need for a loving and understanding home. Marina came to Alaqua without much hair and was miserable. She was diagnosed as having a food allergy as well as being allergic to other things. She was put on a special diet and given oral steroids. She is now thriving in a foster home; all of her hair has grown back and her spirit has been healing. She cannot eat anything but the special food and unfortunately will probably be on oral steroids (given every other day at the moment) for the rest of her life, but that does not stop her. She is very content to watch tv with you while laying on your lap. She does like to lay on your chest while giving you head rubs and purrs quietly while making biscuits on you. Marina has a playful side that has come out. Marina is not fond of dogs or other cats at the moment, however she has been separated from other cats in the foster home due to her diet restrictions. Marina is looking for a loving home where she can thrive and call her own. Her sassiness will come out from time to time, but with the right home and understanding her it will be her loving nature that will win you over.

Please let us know if you have a heart for Marina and helping her thrive in a forever home.

Additional adoption info

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.
Adoption Fees include:

• Dogs, six months and older: heartworm preventative, flea preventative, preventative worming and vaccinations. $150
• Puppies, under six months: preventative worming and spay/neuter procedure, if age appropriate, or certificate for procedure. $200
• Cats, six months or older: Felv/Fiv snap test, vaccinations, spay/neuter. No fee
• Kittens, under six months: Felv/Fiv snap test, vaccinations, and spay/neuter procedure, if age appropriate, or certificate for procedure. $125
• Horse adoption fee vary between each animal. Each horse is always up to date on all shots and deworming medication.
Farm animal adoption fee varies between each animal. Each animal is always up to date on all shots and deworming medication.

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.
