Ripley (ID# 365811) is a 3 year young, male Belgian Malinois mix who was given up by his family because he had too much energy for them.  This unique looking fellow likes people of all ages and he gets along with cats; he is however particular about his dog friends.  Ripley will do best with an active family and would love to go jogging with you or take part in agility.  Can you give him a home for life? 

Beyonce (ID# 463789) is ready to dance her way into your life.  This gorgeous 8 week old kitten is playful and curious and enjoys playing with toys.  You can adopt two kittens and pay just one $50 adoption fee.  That way Beyonce will have a friend to dance with while you are at work.

ADOPTION AMBASSADOR ORIENTATIONS 

Join the Humane Society of Broward County’s new Pet Adoption Ambassador program.  The HSBC, in conjunction with the ASPCA, is pleased to announce an exciting program to help more dogs find forever homes, but its success depends on the active involvement of pet lovers in the community.  This new program is similar to foster care, but goes a step further.  Ambassadors provide temporary homes for select dogs, but unlike foster families, Ambassadors will help maximize their dogs’ availability and exposure to  potential adopters by walking their companions in parks and other pet-friendly, highly visible public venues in their bright orange “Adopt Me” vests.  High School students can partner with an adult family member and even earn their required community service hours through this program.   Those interested can sign up for one of the upcoming orientations at the Humane Society of Broward County, 2070 Griffin Road (a block west of I-95).

PROGRAM EXTENDED FOR PIT BULLS

In June of 2011 the Humane Society of Broward County offered FREE spaying or neutering for pit bulls ages 8 weeks to 6 months.  The program initially was supposed to last only a month and was then extended through December of 2011.  As a result, 113 pit bulls were sterilized at the Humane Society of Broward County.  Because of the program’s success, and donations from the community that helped cover the costs associated with this, the shelter is going to continue the program through 2012.  The goal for the year is to sterilize another 225 pit bulls.  So, if you know someone that has a pit bull that meets the requirements, please have them contact the shelter at 954-463-7729 or spayneuter@hsbroward.com to take advantage of the program.
