Giving Tuesday 2024
So far, in 2024, LCHS has accepted 492 dogs and 386 cats into our lifesaving program. We hope this video helps you to remember a few of the sweet faces from the past year.
A letter from Lisa Glunt, our Executive Director:
Greetings from the Family that is the Leon County Humane Society!
As we near the end of every year, I always encourage our staff to reflect upon all they’ve accomplished. It’s easy to leave our engines in overdrive, so it's a reminder to pause and remember the faces and stories of those assisted and saved in 2024. To you, our donors, you’re very much a part of every one of those saves, and we hope this video helps you to reflect on each of those lives saved.
It’s easy for a year to sneak by. Through my reflection of 2024, I’m reminded of heartbreaking hoarding cases our team’s responded to, relief given to shelters in neighboring counties with LCHS being the sole lifeline for many animals making their way out, tireless weeks of individual care given to sick cats who arrived at LCHS seemingly with little to no hope, and an increase in pet owners seeking to surrender their pets for often absurd but sometimes heartbreaking reasons. It’s been a difficult year to say the least.
At the same time, every difficult memory is matched by a small but driven LCHS staff who continue to step up to every challenge, and an awesome allegiance of volunteers and foster families who walk through these challenges alongside us. While LCHS makes a world of difference for individual animals every year, there’s an undeniable need to do MORE. We have high hopes for what LCHS can accomplish moving forward, but we need the continued generosity of our supporters to make it happen.
We aspire to rescue even more animals from underfunded shelters in neighboring counties. We envision creating a resource for local pet owners seeking emergency veterinary care for their personal pets when they want to do the right thing on their own but can’t. We desire to better equip volunteers with the training and tools to bolster our footprint in the community.
As you consider making a gift to help animals this year, I encourage you to give locally. At the Leon County Humane Society, every dollar is stretched and quickly put into action to help animals, and often, the people who love them. You’re probably accustomed to hearing “fostering saves lives”, and it does, but so does GIVING! Without the generosity of those funding our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Educate; there’d be no need for fosters or volunteers, nor would there be a need to staff our office to provide assistance to community members seeking help. Giving saves lives!
We have high hopes for 2025, and we appreciate every one of you who trusts us with your financial support this Giving Tuesday.
Thank you for your support.

Jasper
Переглядів 281Рік тому
Our second transformation is Jasper. Jasper was, like Bucky, pulled from a rural animal shelter without a lot of community support. He had been attacked and sustained multiple injuries before being brought to the shelter. From there, with a major head wound, necrotic tail, and several scrapes and cuts, he waited for rescue. To help other kittens like Jasper, please consider donating at www.leon...
Bucky's Giving Tuesday Transformation
Переглядів 487Рік тому
Bucky was pulled as an unclaimed stray from a neighboring rural shelter. He was skin and bones (and teeth,) with hardly any fur. Now, after nearly 100 days in foster, he's thriving like he's never known another life. Thank you for watching, and please visit www.leoncountyhumane.org/donate to help save other dogs like Bucky.

Sapphire's Freedom Ride
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
We need fosters! Today we visited a neighboring county animal control. There were dogs in nearly every kennel. When we visit to help, we often want to bring all of them back - we can't. Today we pulled three dogs and had to leave one behind, because we weren't confident we could get enough fosters. We're hoping after you see Sapphire's reaction to her freedom ride today, you'll help us change t...
More than Rescue - Ollie
Переглядів 3363 роки тому
Ollie was found abandoned in a church parking lot. He was dangerously underweight, with matted fur and sores. After entering our program and seeing one of our vet partners, Los Robles Animal Hospital, Ollie was diagnosed with late stage cancer. At first, his prognosis was bleak, so his generous and loving foster mom team Shannon Colavecchio and Jen Mickley decided to help him live his best life...
Smudge
Переглядів 3593 роки тому
Smudge came in to our program at 3 months old. Most cats are considered feral after being left unsocialized for the first two months, and even with years of patience, Smudge has generally been considered untouchable. But after 12 years, a lot can change. Since Smudge isn't considered adoptable, (and is missing all her teeth,) there aren't many options for a cat like her, and without LCHS, we kn...
Community Cats

This video features two women who worked together over the course of the pandemic to take a cat colony about to go out of control and turn it into an opportunity for joy. With the support of LCHS, they were able to TNR about 40 cats, with 25 of them being able to be rehomed through out cat program. We estimate that their efforts over this year long period likely prevented the births of up to 30...
Riley

Riley entered the Leon County Humane Society thanks to Lucy Daly. We all see many pleas by people on Facebook, with animals in need of help. We want to save each and every one of them, but without a foster home to put them in, we aren't always able to help. Lucy saw one of those pleas, posted by the good samaritan who found Riley. She called Leon County Humane Society asking if there was someth...

OMG BABIES
Grub. I named him Fisk (fighting whisker). Beyond awesome. Enhanced my life. So thankful.
Great ✨✨ 🧡🙏🏼
What a sweet precious boy he is. Thank you so much for giving him such a loving wonderful home.
Katie was like that when I got her. She had been starved and abused. It took years to gain her trust, but I found the secrets that unlocked her fear and earning that trust was one of the valuable things I have ever done. The rewards of seeing an abused kitty go from full on fear to knowing that she was loved and cared for were well worth the time, money and patience.
Smudge was in the cat room when I adopted my cat, Gizmo. She is very sweet, and I am so glad she has found a connection with people who care about her.
Sweet! Those goofy eyes! I'm glad these babies found a forever home.
