Hits’ Furry Friend of the Week: Chewy

This handsome hunk of a dog is truly a star! Meet Chewy (ID A662910) a two-year-old active fellow who was excited to meet Carolina from the Hits 93.1 when she stopped by the Humane Society of Broward County.  Chewy is spirited and has stamina but does tire out after adequate play time. He loves to be with his people, and is even bilingual, he knows Creole AND English. Talk about checking off all the green flags for this beefy boy. He is a silly guy who doesn’t understand that he is pushing 70 pounds and would love to be a lap dog if he could. Playing ball even going on jogs with our shelter volunteers are some of his favorite things.  Please stop by to meet this muscular fellow, he is sure to put a smile on your face.

To meet Chewy or any other pet, complete the pre-adoption application at www.humanebroward.com  Call 954-989-3977 ext. 6 with any questions. Thanks to our friends at Staybridge Suite, Fort Lauderdale Airport-West his adoption fee is sponsored.  He just needs a chance.

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: Those surgeries for the public’s pets have been suspended at this time.

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: Opens at 8 AM daily and closes at 6:30 Monday – Saturday and 5:30 on Sunday.

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. It can be found by clicking the COVID-19 banner.

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 admission’s door located at the far west side of the building, at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, just west of I-95.
