My story

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

Meet Ford – The Road to Love Starts Here
Once a lonely wanderer dodging traffic and unsure of people, Ford has come a long way from his stray beginnings. This shy pup was found after weeks on the move—startled, scared, and unsure who he could trust. But thanks to patience, kindness, and plenty of tasty treats, Ford has started to believe in people again.
Today, he’s discovering just how good it feels to be safe, to play, and to be loved. Though he used to cower and avoid eye contact, his confidence is blooming. Now? He`s romping around the play yard, showing his playful side, and curiously checking out potential doggo friends. He’s still working on fully trusting the world, but with a little patience (and a few snacks), Ford will show you just how big his heart is.
This good boy keeps a clean kennel, does well on walks, and would be overjoyed to have a forever home stocked with squeaky toys and soft beds. He’s neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on all his vaccinations—ready to hop in the passenger seat of your life and never look back.

Additional adoption info

It is the goal of the SJBHS to find a good match for all of our adoptable animals. In that effort, we screen every home before we approve an adoption. In general, SJBHS uses the following guidelines when determining the status of an applicant for adoption, with the understanding that if there is a questionable application, the Executive Director will make the final decision on adoption and may choose to approve applications that fall outside of these general guidelines.
In general, SJBHS does NOT adopt to:
•Homes in which other animals are not current on vaccinations and are not altered
•Homes that have previously given away an animal
All applicants will have to provide their veterinarian information prior to adoption approval.

More about this shelter

St. Joseph Bay Humane Society, Inc. is dedicated to relieve animal suffering, prevent animal cruelty, promote human education and enhance the animal and human bond.

Before SJBHS was founded, conditions at the city and county pounds were deplorable and not likely to get better. Animals were being killed at a rate of approximately 70 per month.

The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society was formed to alleivate the suffering. The Society received it's 501c3 status in 1998.
A new facility was constructed in 2007 and provides safe housing for the homeless animals of our county.

The St. Joseph Bay Humane Society is proud to announce its DAWGS in Prison program, a joint effort with Gulf Correctional Institution.
All of the dogs selected for this program go through an intense 8-week training session and live with their trainers, handlers and caretakers in a dormitory style work camp. All of these dogs have had an extensive temperament test and get along well with other dogs and people. They are available for adoption immediately and will able to go to their forever homes with you after graduation.

We continue to educate the public about the importance of spaying or neutering their pets. We do this through our own adoption events and ongoing community events.

We continue to be successful, thanks to the efforts of our volunteers and fundraisers. Paws in the Park and the Bow Wow Bash are huge seasonal fundraisers for us.
Faith's Thrift Hut one of our other major fundraiser and operates on donations and volunteer workers.
It is located on our property ajacent to the Shelter.
850-227-1109
All donations are tax-deductable and all proceeds go directly toward animal care. The store is open Thursday-Saturday from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Volunteers are needed to work during hours of operation.
