My story

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

I'm sure you'll luv Lucy, that's me, a year-old hound dog whose owners could no longer care for me. Wanna take a dip in the pool with me? I'm somewhat standoffish at first but once my shy nature is shed, I'll express my appreciation by wagging my tail when you give me my fave treat, Milk Bones.
I'm lovable and prefer women as furever humans. Balls and tug ropes are toys that will defuse my high energy. If we play outside, don't tempt me to bolt by leaving the door open. There's a whole world I want to explore but I wanna have you along for the ride.
In between my urge to discover, you can pet me anywhere before I snooze in my comfy bed.
I realize strangers are simply friends I haven't met yet so please be patient while I get to know you. So now I'm waiting for you to stop by and bribe me with Milk Bones before you sign on the cyber line to adopt me. Woof!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We hope you meet your four-legged love at SPCA Florida! Our goal is to help you find a companion that best suits your household. We have wonderful animals available and a great deal of information to share with you.

Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals’ history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.

If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.

When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.

Adoption Fees
Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:

•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets
•Dogs are dewormed, tested for heartworms (if negative they receive a 30-day heartworm preventative; if positive a certificate for treatment paid for by the Guardian Angel Fund) and receive vaccinations for canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, parvovirus and Rabies
•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
•microchip
•SPCA ID tag
