The Humane Society of Lake County

My name is Valerie and I am a Hound mix.  I am very sweet and playful; however, I am a little shy and the staff is helping me work on that.  I have just started to learn how to walk on a leash, and I’m getting the hang of it.  Running and playing in the yard is so-o-o much fun!  I also enjoy playing in the water.  Please come to the Shelter so we can get to know each other.  It would be truly wonderful if you would pick me as a forever member of your family.

I am the typical little boy that loves to cause a raucous amongst my ranks.  I am usually the one wanting to play all day – even at nap time.  Rules don’t apply to me, so you’d better be ready for endless hours of fun!

I am an over-sized  couch potato that would like nothing more than to sit on your big comfy couch with you by my side giving me the lovies I deserve.  I am VERY laid back and dogs don’t seem to bother me, but small kids may scare me away.  I like to hide under things like a turtle, but I’ll stick my head out for the right person!

Jango is a large Mountain Feist.  He is a mature dog, with the calm, loving qualities developed over time.  He very much enjoys his walks and being with people; however, he should be the only pet in the house, and there should be no young children.

They call me Roudy.  I am a lovable, well-behaved Terrier mix that gets along with everyone.  I am such a “people-guy”, I am very lonely in my kennel and I bark to get someone’s attention. Out of the kennel, I’m a very quiet, happy guy.  I know you will want to meet me, so please come to the Shelter.  When you take me home with you, I will shower you with the love only I can share.

I am more reserved than my busybody sister, Reese, and I like to tuck myself into a nice quiet spot and observe from afar.  I like to be brushed, as my longer fur requires it.  My feet also have a deformity, but that doesn’t stop me from getting where I need to go.  I am a unique color, so be sure not to miss me when you come visiting!

I am a VERY sweet and unpredictable funny gal.  My feet are deformed, but that doesn’t seem to stop me from getting into everything.  I like o be brushed if I can sit down for two seconds.  I love everybody and would be the purr-fect fit for you!

My name is Lucas, and I am a large, mixed breed dog.  I am a very sweet boy with a great deal of exuberance and I tend to get overly excited at times.  My friends here at the Shelter and a trainer have been working with me.  I have been doing my homework diligently and the staff says I am making good progress.  If you adopt me, I would come with some lessons from my trainer.  I would, however, be too much for children.  I enjoy going for walks, and I would love to be your jogging companion.  Playing ball out in the yard is also one of my favorite activities.  When I am in the chill mode, I really, really love to have my belly rubbed.  Please visit the Shelter and ask the staff about me.  Perhaps we would be perfect companions for one another.  Thanks so much.

My name is Denny, and I am an extremely loving and energetic Lab.  I enjoy going for walks and playing in the yard, and it is also great fun to have you play ball with me and to play with me using my other toys.  I’m fortunate to have such wonderful human companions, and I would like to meet you, as well.  Perhaps you will select me to become a forever member of your family.  Please note, however, that I do not care for other male dogs.  That’s just the way it is!

My name is Munchkin, and I am a Maltese and Poodle mix.  I just LOVE everyone, and I get SO EXCITED when folks come to visit.  I enjoy my walks and playing with my stuffed animals.  However, my most favorite activity is to be held and cuddled with my human friends.  I bet you’ll want to have me as a forever member of your family!

I was found by our Investigator at Checkers – very skinny and injured.  He felt so badly for me, he threw me his hamburger and that’s all it took to convince me to go with him.  The vet diagnosed a fractured back leg that is healing, but I’ll probably always walk funny.  Therefore, I need a special home without too much craziness.  I have gained weight since I get fed well at the ‘bed and breakfast’ the Investigator brought me to.  Other cats don’t seem to bother me, and I’d probably be OK with kids that are careful.  I do talk a lot because I have so many stories to tell about my life on the run.  I’ll never have to worry about that again, though, when you take me home with you!

I am an ADORABLE wanna-be scardey cat that can flatten my ears all the way to my cheeks and then melt like butter when you pick me up.  I didn’t know how to play when I came to the Shelter, but I’m learning.  I had a rough start in life, but I’m learning how sweet life can be, and then the sweeter I become.

“Paws for Mount Dora” will hold a food drive for the Humane Society of Lake County on Sunday, October 10 and on Sunday, December 12, from 11:00 until 3:00.  Folks from the Humane Society and Paws Therapy Dogs will be on hand to accept donations of can/dry puppy/kitten food, clay cat litter, bleach, laundry detergent, nyla bones, toys, small and medium dog beds, paper towels, gas cards, and monetary gifts.  The Humane Society will be distributing material about their Shelter, information on being a responsible pet owner, and coloring/comic books for the children.

“Paws for Mount Dora” is  a way to introduce folks and their dogs to the friendly shops in Mount Dora.  It starts at the Mount Dora Sushi, located at Third and Donnelly.  There, you will receive a map and a ticket to have stamped by four different shops / restaurants / businesses in Mount Dora.  This gives you an opportunity to win some great prizes.  “Paws for Mount Dora” is a fun day for you, your family, and your dog.  Dogs MUST BE friendly and kept on a leash.  Questions?  Call Joanne @ 602-4477.

Thank you for your past, present, and future support of the Humane Society of Lake County.
We would not be able to continue or mission without the public’s generosity and understanding.

Like my brother, I am shy as well, but I warm up quickly to the tune of love.  I like to hide under things, but I’m always watching what’s going on around me.  I get nervous easily, but not ‘freaked out’.  I’ve never had a home to call my own, but I’m sure I could learn quickly to enjoy one!

Murphy is my name and I may be a Terrier mix; at any rate, I’ll probably become a medium-sized dog.  I am a very sweet and adorable little boy, and I love to run and play with my toys and my sister, Mandy.  My friends at the Shelter have been teaching me to walk on a leash, and I think I’m ready for you to take me for a walk when you visit me.  Hopefully, you pick me as a member of your family.

I am an itsy-bitsy cutie pie that always is ready for a play date.  I am rambunctious, but when it’s time to chill out, I look all dopey until I just pass out.  I don’t want to miss anything, so I try real hard to stay focused.  If you come to see me, you’ll see I’m the right one for you!

I may not have the stripes, but I have the heart of a tiger and the eagerness of a lion.  I am brave and stealthy with a mighty roar, even though I’m tucked into a little package.  I love to pretend I’m in the circus and chase balls around and be the clown that makes everybody laugh.  Come visit me and I’ll tell you a good joke!

I am speed, silliness, and a smooth talker all wrapped into one.  My multiple personalities bring out the bet in me – or ‘us’.  One minute I’m fast like lightening and the next I’m flipping head over heels trying to catch my tail.  I will not tell a lie – I am the one for you.

Aren’t I a pretty kitty?  My name is Eenie, and I’m just as frolicking as I can be.  If you are looking for a cute and cuddly companion, you will pick me out from the rest of the kittens at the Shelter.  Please visit me so you can see for yourself why I need to become a member of your loving family.

I came from McDonalds.  They wouldn’t take my order, but now I’m fed quite well.  I am discovering how much fun one kitty can have when he has new friends and a free buffet open 24 hours.  I am very playful and would love to have you come play with me!

I experienced a rough start in life, but I’m here to tell you that I am the best start to your day.  You can butter me up and keep me warm, and I’ll give you comfort like a little ray of sunshine.  I am, indeed, a lovely pick, and I will appreciate the rest of my remaining nine lives with you!

I am a typical, sweet little loveball that loves anything that moves.  I have a beautiful deep shade of gray that makes me very attractive to everyone.  I like to romp around with my siblings, and nothing is more fun than a game of catch the string, lose it, and chase it again.  Please come visit me.  You’ll want to take me home with you.

I am a longer-haired kitten that loves to make a mess out of myself.  I am a joy to all who have the pleasure of meeting me.  I am the most intelligent of my litter (because I’m the girl) and I love to boss the others around.  I will need a good brushing a few times a week to keep my beautiful hair-do kempt.  Come see me!

I am a very playful little rugrat that likes to get into mischief.  I like to play with my friends, but I can entertain myself if needed.  I can stalk like a ninja, pounce like a tiger, swing like a monkey, and I’ll make your day brighter.  Please come visit me!
