It was a kitten filled summer at AWLMC!
Titus and Twiggy, Ninja, and their siblings were trapped by a local TNR group and came to AWLMC when they were only a few weeks old. Tabbies Titus and Twiggy are currently having a blast in an AWLMC foster home while they wait for their forever family to come along. Ninja was recently adopted with his sister and BFF Jinx, just in time to bring some Halloween spirit to their new home.
All kittens adopted through AWLMC are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. Funds from DDAF are helping AWLMC pay for this essential veterinary care, so Titus, Twiggy, Ninja and our other kittens are set up for success in their future homes.

Can you spot what`s missing? 👀
SPOTS! 🦌
Our fawns are growing up, and those adorable white spots are disappearing!
These youngsters are the very first residents of our brand-new fawn rehabilitation enclosure, and the loss of their spots means they`re about ready to head back to the wild where they belong!
Their upcoming release will be an extra-special milestone: the graduation of our very first class of fawns since bringing fawn rehabilitation back to GCWR this year! 🎓🦌
And we couldn`t have done it without YOU! 💚 Thanks to the incredible supporters who helped make our new fawn rehabilitation program a reality, these little ones have had a place to grow up and prepare for life in the wild.

Meet Dr. Sweet, a 10-year-old gentleman with a big heart and a second chance at finding his forever home! This neutered male was rescued as a stray in Houston, Texas. He was recently transported by Rescued Pets Movement to Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue (RMFR) to give him a better chance at adoption.
Dr. Sweet is FIV+ (as his magnificent jowls proudly announce), but that doesn’t define him or diminish his worth. With a little help from RMFR, this sweet senior is getting the opportunity he deserves: to leave his stray days behind and find a loving family to call his own.
RMFR`s grant from the Doris Day Animal Foundation helps provide high-quality veterinary care for cats like Dr. Sweet, who need an extra bit of attention to ensure they thrive on their journey to a permanent home.

Wero saved himself by approaching me when I was delivering dog food to one of our Rescue Partners. He kept zig zagging between my legs and when I looked down, his entire face was bloody & his eyeball was hanging out. He must have gotten into a fight with another cat or dog, but long story short, I took him to a veterinarian hospital that day and he underwent surgery to completely clean out/repair his eye socket, remove his eye and give him intravenous antibiotics.. He is now completely healed and he was adopted and is living his best life in Oceanside now 🙂

Elvis- our newest pig rescue- is demonstrating his sitting technique. He is a joy to have at the rescue.

Meet Virgo. Virgo had recent dental and oral surgery thanks to a grant from DDAF. Virgo and his brother Wally were rescued from a Humane Society who could not find homes for them. Both had suffered a very bad home life situation before ending up at a humane society. Virgo can be a bit of a bully with other cats, but is very sweet, affectionate and vocal with his caregivers. He absolutely LOVES to receive attention. He is a senior resident of Sandy`s Kitty Haven at C & WS Rustic Hollow Shelter and is well over 14 years old. He loves to nap in the catio and in the window perches. He was also fond of the kitty hammocks when he was recovering in his ISO cage.

After many of our more than 200 chimpanzee residents spent years, and in some cases decades, indoors before rescue, we are grateful to give them the opportunity to experience the beauty of sunrises and sunsets.

Nine years strong – and saving so many more than nine feline lives from all the potential risks, hunger, and suffering overpopulation outdoors brings – HARP’s “Spay-a-Thon” for community cats was once again a success!
This 24-hour round-the-clock TNVR event occurs annually in September but requires planning and coordination 365 days each year. Community cat caretakers register months in advance, transporting between five to twenty trapped cats each for the event. Slots fill up fast, and there is always a waiting list.
Spay-a-Thon, sponsored by Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in 2026, truly brings the entire community together. HARP staff from all departments take volunteer shifts, veterinarians and support staff from local practices contribute their professional services pro-bono for the day, and HARP volunteers go above and beyond their “cat cuddler” status, contributing even more time at odd hours. Combined, it takes a team of about 150 people, fueled mostly by coffee, pizza, and compassion, to make this many safe surgeries possible.
This year, HARP’s Spay-a-Thon achieved 334 spays/neuters, 668 Rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, and prevented countless future kitten births! Plus. these community cats were able to return to their home territories protected from devastating diseases and freed from reproductive cycles and hormonal aggression, allowing them to live healthier, happier lives – and even be better neighbors!

Thanks to the generous support of the Doris Day Animal Foundation, one of our shelter dogs, Bonnie, was able to undergo surgery to remove an angiosarcoma, a serious form of cancer that develops in the cells lining blood vessels.
Angiosarcomas can be aggressive, making timely veterinary intervention especially important. Surgical removal can be a critical step in treatment, offering a chance for improved comfort and quality of life.
Through the Doris Day Animal Foundation’s grant support, we were able to provide specialized veterinary care that might otherwise have been financially out of reach.
From all of us at the Humane Society of Walton County, thank you, Doris Day Animal Foundation, for helping us make second chances possible! 🐾❤️
PS- Bonnie is feeling like her normal self and back to bossing us around!

Heart of Phoenix is able to provide horses long term care, some of the herd being with us for years before they are ready for a home, like Leeta, Merple and Jabar, all growing up with us with great handling and care, until the day they are ready for a home!
We are so thankful for the DDAF for helping us provide what these horses need!
THANK YOU!
