🌻 Lula is finally ready for her forever home. This adorable and HILARIOUS girl is little but has a huge personality ✨ She is the star of the show, the class clown and oh so sweet. Lula is a 5 month old Brussels griffon / Border Terrier mix (possibly) and is currently 14lbs. Shes a beefy little girl. Lula joined our rescue from PBC ACC where she ended up with her dad and siblings, riddled in the worst amount of flea’s our rescue has seen. She is now healthy, flea free of course and has had all her vetting with us. Lula is a Labrador retriever wanna be. She has an obsession with water and you may find her trying to lay down in the water bowl (if she fits she sits) 💦 She loves to hop across her fosters yard like a jack rabbit 🐰 and is good with their dog. She is also one smart cookie and is already crate trained and house broken. To adopt, click on the link below to submit an adoption application 📝

*Current dogs in your home must be altered, current on vetting and prevention

*PLEASE do not apply if you’re not ready to adopt upon a meet & greet within 24-48 ours of approval. We do not hold dogs. To ask us to hold dogs for weeks or even months is NOT happening. Please don’t waste our time.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE: ANIMALS-AT-LARGE

Regularly, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office posts pleas on social media accounts and in our newsletters regarding the importance of preventing animals from running freely in Lee County.

Despite these reminders, the number of at-large animals continues to grow.

These animals continue to destroy property, are regularly struck by passing cars and trucks, have been killed by local wildlife, have been involved in a number of dog-bite incidents and have become a burden for our local shelters.

Lee County social media pages are flooded with lost and missing dogs. While we understand that dogs do escape from time to time…dig a hole beneath the fence…tear through screened lanais…run out an open door, the problem continues to worsen and can only be resolved with the help of pet owners.

Fences should be inspected regularly to ensure integrity. Gates and doors must be kept closed when used to contain an animal. Tables, chairs or woodpiles near the fence line should be moved as canines utilize these structures to climb over fencing.

Dogs must be leashed when out for walks and out relieving themselves. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS!

Lee County Ordinances PROHIBIT pet owners and those in custody of animals from allowing them to run at-large:

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person owning or having possession, charge, custody or control of any animal, including but not limited to domestic, livestock, farm, wildlife or fowl raised in captivity, to permit the animal to stray, run, go or roam at-large in or upon any public street, sidewalk, school grounds, in the area of school vehicles, beaches, parks or on the private property of others without the consent of the owner of such property.
(b) Any animal found in violation of this section may be impounded.
(c) Any property owner or tenant may seize an unrestrained animal, unattended animal, or animal at large on his or her property and turn said animal over to animal services for disposition. Any person seizing an unrestrained, or animal at large shall capture the animal in a safe and humane manner, and may employ certain humane traps for such purpose.

PLEASE…for the safety of our community, for the well-being of our animals, ensure that your animals are not allowed to roam at-large.
