Read MoreSmoke has a new best friend

Smoke originally showed up at Lake City Humane Society as a stray. He was adopted and returned two months later. He also lived in a foster home with another male dog, where he was reported to growl at the other dog and guard his bed from him. LCHS reported wariness of strangers, especially men.





Fast forward a few months later, after receiving much needed one on one enrichment and training at our Canine Center Florida, Smoke is a much happier and more relaxed companion. He’s since been adopted and is now thriving with his new owner, who had this to say:

“I guess he is living a dog’s life.”
The more support we get from dog lovers, the more dogs, like Smoke, we can save. Our Canine Center is a last opportunity for dogs to thrive and to show their true personalities and potential. A percentage of troubled dogs often do not make it out of shelters, not for a lack of love and care, but from a lack of resources and expertise.
Your gift today helps us redefine the meaning and importance of quality of life for all sheltered dogs. Our work results in urgent and responsible lifesaving, and we’d love you to be a part of saving lives with us.
