My story

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

Arturo comes from Puerto Rico to our shelter in search of a loving forever home. Arturo is at this time about 2+ years old, he has known what living in a country where an epic animal welfare crisis is ravaging animals and humans alike. Arturo is a young guy who only wants to engage in activities and give love. He weighs 39 pounds and relates very well with other dogs and loves people. He would love to have a human who wants continuous company. Arturo is a high-energy dog. He will require exercise, discipline, and a person knowledgeable about handling high-energy pups. He will be at his best in an environment where he has ample space to run and use his energy constructively. Only available to households with children over the age of 9 and with an enclosed fenced-in yard. Arturo will require some re-training on leash walking, and indoor living.

If interested in offering Arturo your heart and your home please complete/submit this form: https://form.123formbuilder.com/5235602//. Upon receipt of your application we will contact you either via email or telephone call to schedule a "home visit", this is, Arturo and I will come to your home to take a look at how she responds to you and your family, take a peek at your fenced-in yard and if there are other dogs or animals see how Arturo responds to them and how they interact. In the event that everything goes well and there are no problems with the backyard we then proceed with the adoption. If there are obstacles that can be resolved within a reasonable time, we allow the resident to do so. If the resident wants to proceed with the adoption, a $100 dollar non-refundable deposit is requested. If the adoption proceeds this deposit is deducted from the total adoption fee of $275.00, If the adoption does not take place the applicant forfeits the deposit.

We complete home visits Monday thru Thursday from 10-11 am or 3-5 pm. It is important for any potential adopter to understand that we evaluate two candidates at a time and reserve the right to choose which family in our opinion is the best fit. We are a private shelter, they live with us and we know their behaviors, needs, and wants. They are not kenneled and they have ample space to run and play.

Be aware we no longer accept checks as form of making your donation for this adoption. Your adoption donation is accepted using Venmo @Norma-Torres-36, PayPal using ycmad2733@gmail.com or cash at the moment of the adoption.

More about this shelter

You Can Make A Difference, Inc. is the final phase in a journey that began many years ago. After years of aiding other organizations to achieve the goal of preventing animal abuse we decided to create our own organization.

It was the realization that only if we stop the birth of unwanted animals that the vicious cycle of animal neglect, abuse and abandoned would eventually be stopped that moved us to establish the organization.

We hope that together we can make a difference in the lives of many animals while at the same time educate others in responsible pet parenting. It is time for all who have been touched by the unconditional love that animals can provide to start to "pay forward."

Our organization is geared to serve residents in Gadsden County, Florida. Gadsden County is the second poorest county in the state of Florida. There is no animal shelter in the county, only a high kill facility.
