WE ARE NOT HERNANDO COUNTY EMPLOYEES!

Adoptable and URGENT dogs, cats and others are in ALBUMS at right - click on PHOTOS. ANY dog or cat you save will give all the others more time and more chance for adoption / rescue!

To place a hold on an animal so that it will not be euthanized before you arrive to get it, email ALL of the following:; SFinch@Co.Hernando.Fl.Us ; ac@hernandocounty.us. DO NOT PLACE A HOLD UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS - IT PUTS OTHER ANIMALS AT HIGHER RISK OF BEING EUTHANIZED!

IF YOU PERSISTENTLY POST NEGATIVE COMMENTS ASKING WHY WE AREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE ANIMALS IN NEED YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THIS PAGE. We are all volunteers who work our tails off to get every animal out of this shelter. We also ALL have jobs to support our own families and rescue animals. Just because you do not see postings stating our every move does NOT mean we are letting things slip by. Do not take it upon yourself to intervene... If we say we are sending someone for an eval, lining up a home, arranging transport, etc, WE WILL GET IT DONE. Having people ask us why we "aren't answering people's posts" or "ignoring interested people" does not make our lives and jobs any easier. If you aren't saying something productive, DO NOT SAY IT. WE ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF HERNANDO COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. We are a small private rescue group who has set aside our initial priority for a much more pressing situation: SAVING THE INNOCENT LIVES THAT ARE THREATENED TO BE TAKEN EVERY DAY AT HERNANDO COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. Animal Services continuously receives friendly, adorable animals who need loving homes. The animals come from various sources such as strays picked up from the street, or animals from private homes where the owner can or will no longer care for them. Many of them have been neglected, abandoned, or abused, but they can and do rebound to become loving family pets.
