My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Myrtle is a sweet senior Chihuahua with a tender heart and a story of resilience. She came from a hoarding situation with over 50 dogs, and despite her difficult past, she’s slowly learning what it means to feel safe and loved.
This tiny girl has a heart murmur and will need lifelong medication, but she takes it in stride and continues to show quiet strength every day. Myrtle isn’t reactive to other dogs and would do well in a calm home where she can observe, adjust, and grow at her own pace.
She’s looking for a patient, compassionate person who can help her discover the comforts of a loving home—soft beds, gentle voices, and kind hands. With time and care, Myrtle will reward that love with trust, gratitude, and the quiet companionship only a senior dog can give.

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.

• 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.
