Hits’ Furry Friend of the Week: Jax

Who wears purple better?  Trax (ID A653624) also know as Jax, is a two-year-old energetic boy who will run around for a bit, but tires out and then wants to enjoy the comforts of the AC.  Kelbin from Hits 97.3 found this out his recent visit to the Humane Society of Broward County.  This blonde shepherd mix, with a hint of purple hair like Kelbin, was abandoned in a home when his owners moved out.  Fortunately, he was found and given the TLC he deserves.  Trax is quite smart and knows sit, paw, and down and needs a family with a loving home...can you make his wish come true?  To meet him or any other pet, complete the pre-adoption application on the website www.humanebroward.com and then stop by.  The shelter opens daily at 11 AM and if you have questions call 954-989-3977 ext. 6

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.

Or you can check out the Humane Society’s Amazon.com Wish List and have something sent directly to the shelter!
