Hits’ Furry Friend of the Week: Blitz!

Seeking a #FureverHome!

Prior to hurricane Milton hitting the west coast, several fabulous felines were transferred from a Manatee County shelter to get out of the storm’s path.  They are all so well-adjusted and loving, considering what they’ve been through. They loved the extra affection from Jade with Hits 97.3.  One handsome fellow is 6-year-old Blitz, who is out-going, super sweet and loves pets.  At just over 15-pounds, there is a lot of him to love.  Do you have room in your heart and home for Blitz? If you’ve been thinking about adopting, now’s the perfect time to make a difference in the life of an animal in need. 💕

If you cannot adopt or foster, but want to help, our kitties are in need of cardboard scratching pads! 😸 You can order them from our Amazon Wishlist and send directly to our shelter ❤️

To meet Blitz (ID A689520) or any other pet, visit www.humanebroward.com to complete a pre-adoption application and then stop by the Humane Society of Broward County located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312.  The adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. and appointments are not necessary.  The low-cost vaccine and microchip clinic is open 6 days a week, visit the website to see what products are offered the hours. If you have any questions call 954-989-3977.

Adoption Ambassador: If you can provide a temporary home for a large-breed dog, become an Adoption Ambassador for the Humane Society of Broward County. Ambassadors help market the pet through your network of friends and associates, while giving the pet a vacation from the shelter environment. Sometimes a different setting is all that is needed to help our furry friends find their forever home.

Spay/Neuter Services:

Vaccine Clinic: Is open Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 4:30 PM credit cards only, no cash. This is a walk-in service and you may experience a wait of up to an hour. All cats must be in carriers and dogs on a leash at all times. If you have a retractable leash, please keep it short.

Animal Admissions: The Admissions Department is open by appointment only. Please call 954-266-6873 and allow 48 hours for a call back. Closed on major holidays.

Foster Care: If you can provide a foster home for a cat or large-breed dog, please visit the HSBC website and complete a foster application.

The Humane Society of Broward County is always in need of new or gently used towels and washcloths. (They don’t need any blankets or pillows.) Donations can be dropped off any day outside of the main entrance.
