My story

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

Toby is nervous around new people but with a little patience he will warm up quite quickly. (We have seen this with the volunteers and staff at the Refuge). He is particularly nervous and shy around children, which is probably an indication he had a negative experience. A household where humans are loving and caring towards animals will be an ideal home for Toby. We are hopeful for him to find the perfect human(s) where he can experience what a truly loving home can be.

This is what we know about Toby:

Rides well in cars
LOVES all kinds of toys and playing fetch
He's super-duper soft (can you say snuggle bug?!)
Likes belly rubs! (He'll con you into one with his adorable eyes!)
Knows his basic commands
Walks very well on a leash
A sweet boy around other dogs
He's housebroken (he's a member of the clean kennel club at the Refuge.)

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
• Horse adoption fee vary between each animal. Each horse is always up to date on all shots and deworming medication.
Farm animal adoption fee varies between each animal. Each animal is always up to date on all shots and deworming medication.

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.
