Pet Tip of the Month: Spay and Neuter!

Springtime is here and it's the perfect chance to get your pets spayed and neutered before any unwanted litters appear. Lucky for you guys, we have a low cost program designed to help with getting the surgery done.

The SNYP and SNYP+ Programs are designed to help low income families with getting their pets fixed at a low price. All you have to do is provide proof of Lee County residency, proof of income (first page of Federal Tax Return) and a valid ID.

Find more information on our website: leecountyhumane.org/low-cost-spay-neuter.

We are so excited to be a part of the Sigma Chi's Derby Days this year. Join us on Thursday, April 20th from 1-3pm (737 W Magnolia Ave) where we will have adoptable pups and representatives to talk about our programs. We can't wait to see you!

Make sure to check out Auburn Med Spa's Spring Fling on April 13, where they will be hosting a raffle for "a year of beauty" and all ticket proceeds will go to benefit the homeless pets in our care.

Employee of the Month: Haley K.

Congratulations to Haley for becoming the newest Employee of the Month!

Haley can be found almost anywhere in the shelter working whether it's up front, in the large dog kennels or back in our intake department. Her favorite dog is Mouse and the thing she enjoys most about this job is getting to watch the shy, scared pets come out of their shells and grow as they learn what love is really like, when their personalities and quirks start to show.

Pictured is Haley with Mouse, one of our Lonely Hearts Club Members! If you are interested in adopting a new pet, apply online here and set up an appointment today!

Thank you to our partner Cellairis for providing a free phone case to our Employee of the Month! Want to show your appreciation for our LCHS staff? Let us know your ideas here.

Lonely Hearts Club Spotlight: Noir

Meet our new Lonely Hearts spotlight, Noir! Just recently, she had her one year shelterversary with us! This gorgeous, chill pup has been featured in magazines, on social media posts, in the newspaper, and in newsletters. Goodness, she’s even been in foster since November of last year and has been the best girl. Yet…she hasn’t found *her* person yet. Can you PLEASE help us find her a forever home of her own?

Pets on our Lonely Hearts Club have reduced adoption fees. Learn more and see who else is on the list here.
