My story

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

Raven is a classic example of how impactful foster homes can be to show the dog's true personality. She was rescued from a landfill and came to Alaqua in February of 2023. She was extremely shut down and scared. She has a sensitive heart and the shelter environment was causing a lot of stress and poor mental health even with all the love she was getting from staff and volunteers. She was put into a foster home and starting flourishing. The layers of fear and stress starting peeling away revealing a dog that is equally as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. By nature she is happy. She will do zoomies when her foster mom comes home. She craves affection and happily receives puppy scratches from her people. She loves other dogs and looks to them for direction and reassurance. She is resilient and hopeful. She is a wonderful reminder of how life can have tribulations, but all you need is your tribe to love and support you through the good and bad. Raven would make a beautiful addition to your tribe/pack/family!

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.
Adoption Fees include:

• Dogs, six months and older: heartworm preventative, flea preventative, preventative worming and vaccinations. $150
• Puppies, under six months: preventative worming and spay/neuter procedure, if age appropriate, or certificate for procedure. $200
• Cats, six months or older: Felv/Fiv snap test, vaccinations, spay/neuter. No fee
• Kittens, under six months: Felv/Fiv snap test, vaccinations, and spay/neuter procedure, if age appropriate, or certificate for procedure. $125

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.
