My story

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

Meet Baron! This handsome boy is eight years old and came from the Madison County shelter when they had to close down due to Hurricane Helene. When he first arrived, he was badly lame, had a wobbly rear end, and carried his right rear leg. The wobble and the limp are barely visible now and he's doing well on Fish Oil.

He's house-trained, dog and cat-tested, and loves everyone. His adorable thing is to remove the squeakers from stuffies, but he doesn't chew them. He collects them and either holds them or lays on them. The little red heart he's holding here is the first one he liberated from its stuffie, and almost as soon as he got it in his mouth, he laid it on my husband's foot. He gave his heart away. But, he'll happily give it to someone else, too, if they'll love him forever.

Signed,
Baron's foster mom

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.

Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
