Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Marina – A Resilient Beauty with a Big Personality
Marina is a sassy, spirited girl who’s come a long way on her journey to health and happiness. When she first arrived at Alaqua, she had lost much of her hair and was clearly uncomfortable. After being diagnosed with food and environmental allergies, she began a special diet and oral steroid treatment—and the transformation has been incredible. Her coat has grown back beautifully, and her playful, loving personality has blossomed.
Marina will need to remain on her special food and continue her oral steroids, likely for life, but she doesn’t let that slow her down. She’s content to curl up on a lap, watch TV, and offer gentle head rubs while purring softly and making biscuits. Her affectionate side shines brightest during these quiet moments of companionship.
Though she’s not fond of dogs or other cats right now—partly due to her dietary restrictions—Marina’s heart is full of love for her people. She’s looking for a patient, understanding home where she can continue to thrive, be adored, and let her charming sass and sweet nature win everyone over.

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.

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 20,000 animals. Currently, up to 200 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.
