My story

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

Blanche is a playful energetic cheerful young dog that LOVES other dogs and is very slow to warm up to new people and new environments. New people will introduce a barking behavior. She requires a home with at least on other friendly dog, patient parents that are willing to work with her on socialization, stimulation, and trusting people. In order for her to bond with and trust everyone in the family, all must participate in her care and have equal time to spend with her. A single person would also be a good fit. No young children in the home. To keep her safe and allow the exercise she needs, a fenced yard is required. She very agile and good at getting over gates and is most nervous outside so she is a flight risk. She is learning to relax on walks which help with her energy level. Once she knows you she is a total love bug and happy girl and wants to be with her people. Crate trained or will sleep in the big bed. Multiple visits required to get to know her. Blanche is in foster, so an appointment is needed.

Additional adoption info

It would be our privilege to help you find a puppy, dog, cat, kitten, horse, or other animal that suits your needs. Our knowledgeable hands-on staff is familiar with each of our rescue animals and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. Looking for a cat-friendly dog, a laid back kitten or a horse with a lot of personality? We can help.

To start the process, visit our refuge – and if you haven’t yet seen it, you will be pleasantly surprised. You will be able to interact with the animals in a stress-free environment, unlike a traditional kennel.

Once you have found the perfect, new companion, we will assist you in completing an application. Following a reference check, approval of the form and payment of the adoption fee, you will be able to take home your new pet.

• Dogs, six months and older: heartworm preventative, flea preventative, preventative worming and vaccinations. $150

More about this shelter

Alaqua Animal Refuge was founded in 2007 by Walton County, Fla.-resident Laurie Hood when she discovered that countless animals were being euthanized due to the lack of a no-kill shelter/adoption organization in the area. Since that time, Alaqua Animal Refuge has helped find homes for more than 10,000 animals. Currently, up to 100 animals are adopted per month from this unique shelter and adoption center, which serves as a true refuge for more than 500 animals at any given time.

As we grow and develop our facility and operations, we will adhere to our guiding purpose: To give neglected, lost and abandoned animals a chance at life.
