My story

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

Hi! My name is Chick, and I like squirrels. My foster family tells me I’m one smart cookie. I’ve got puppy energy and sometimes need reminding of my manners, but what toddler doesn’t? Did I mention I like squirrels? I’m potty and crate-trained (“crate up”) and I know sit, paw, down, and wait. I’m learning to sit at the door and wait for you to enter first. “Okay” is my release word. I love a nice long walk (or even a jog) and I’m quickly learning to walk nicely on a leash, as well as leave it and drop it. Puzzle feeders and squeaker toys are my favorite and I love to play tug and chase. I’m also a lizard hunter, and I’m crazy for sprayed hose water, and squirrels, of course. My favorite treats include hard cheese chews, freeze dried beef liver, pieces of apple and blueberries, and peanut butter and yogurt with pumpkin purée. So far, I have only met one dog I will tolerate and cats are not my thing, but I don’t like to be alone. I just prefer the company of my hooman family, and all the chin, belly, and butt scritches I can get. I want to be your one and only. My foster family thinks I would do best in a home with a patient, active owner(s) who is/are committed to continuing my training and giving me the daily mental and physical exercise I crave. Could you be the energetic, loving home I’ve been searching for?

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.

Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
