Santa Rosa County Animal Services is opening up the Agriplex, 8604 Bobby Brown Road in East Milton, for adoptions and fosters for many of the dogs recently rescued from a case in Gulf Breeze.
Adoption and foster will be available from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Wed., Feb. 23 at the Agriplex. The public will not be allowed at the staging area outside of these hours. Photos of the dogs in the shelter’s care from the rescue case are continually being uploaded online here. Note that some dogs pictured in the album may not be ready for adoption or foster on Wednesday. Staff will be on-site to help citizens pick out the best fit for their homes. Dogs that are already altered may be adopted but unaltered dogs will need to be fostered until ready for adoption.
The animal shelter is also seeking volunteers,age 18 and older, to help at the Agriplex from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Wed., Feb. 23. Other dates may be added as needed. Volunteers may fill out an application online or at the Agriplex. A safety release will be required to be signed at the site. Tasks may include cleaning the area, feeding and walking dogs, giving out treats and more.
