Florence Lauderdale Animal Services is also running VERY low on supplies and VOLUNTEERS! A water leak has created an immediate problem; they need small (fleece) blankets, bedding and towels any size (can be used, but must be clean). In addition, paper towels, dry dog food and canned dog food, cat food, kitten food (both wet and dry, no dye in any of the food for dogs or cats, please), and toys, toys, toys!! Animal Services’ Supplies can also be found on the Amazon Gift List under Florence Lauderdale Animals Services.
Due to the legal issues involved with the confiscated animals now at the Shelter, they cannot be adopted. However, there are so many wonderful animals that can be adopted or fostered. Adoption rates have been discounted to $35 for all animals
Chloe’s Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization providing financial aid to assist emergency medical expenses for the Florence Lauderdale Animal Shelter animals and to support Shelter Diversion. It was created in March of 2017 after shelter volunteers, Glen and Debby Nelson lost Chloe, their beloved dog of 16 years. After Chloe’s passing, the Nelsons and their friends set out on a mission to help as many sick and injured Florence-Lauderdale Animal Services animals as possible. Since its inception, Chloe’s Fund vetted and saved the lives of several hundred animals suffering from various illnesses and in need of medical attention.
