Through the month of April we will be celebrating our furry
friends! We have partnered with Last Hope Rescue and other local animal rescues
to spread the word about the abundance of animals that need loving homes. April
20th, we will be having a Dog Wash at Kia Autosport. We invite
everyone to bring their friendly dogs here for a day of celebrating
man’s best friend!
Last Hope Rescue is a non-profit organization determined to
place abused and abandoned pets into loving homes. Areas surrounding Tallahassee are high-kill
counties; this means that once the animal shelter hits their maximum they are
forced to start euthanizing animals. Last Hope seeks to save these precious, innocent
animals.
Last Hope Rescue is near and dear to Melanie’s heart because
she adopted her dog Conner from them! Conner often comes to the office and is loved by everyone who works here.

Fostering a Dog:
Why are Foster Homes Needed?
·
To prevent the shelter from
becoming full
·
An animal is recovering from
surgery and needs a loving home to look after them.
·
The animal is showing signs
of shelter stress.
Last Hope Rescue will provide the
foster family with food, toys, a crate, help with transportation, and all the
support they could ever need. For more information fill out the volunteer form and
