I rescued my dog Lexi in the fall of 2011 from this shelter. She was only 6 months old and gave me…read morethose puppy eyes, begging for someone to adopt her. She had been abused and either abandoned or ran away. She was found wth a deep head wound that left her mostly bald and had several gashes around her neck. With some love and tlc she finally has a full head of hair but sadly her deep gashes (which my vet deemed most likely the result of battery acid burns, used as a baiting method in fighting dogs) still remain on her neck. She is so full of love and energy and a completely wonderful dog. I'm so glad this shelter found her and took care of her before me. When I was at the shelter, they provided cots in the dogs' pens for them so sleep on and kept the animals well hydrated in the summer heat. There is a nice play area for volunteers and potential adopters to spend time with the dogs. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. Overall I thought this shelter did an amazing job. Thank you for everything!

There is the Welcome Center there that we went into and the women were total sweethearts. It didn't appear that they got much business because they were very glad to hear that the three of us were all from different cities in Florida so when we signed the register book it was three different cities along with three different names. These women were totally in character for this part of the country and you could feel the butter melt with their warmth and kindness. The National refuge was really unexpected and quite beautiful. It was informational and educational. This was one of the best stops we unexpectedly made on our road trip. Just goes to show you never know what you're going to find when you pull over and stop in to someplace new, no matter where it is in the country. What's a girl to do? Hey, when you're on a road trip you want to stop and see and do everything so take your time and see as much as you can.
