EASY’s Pet of the Week: Ollie!

Little man Ollie is a pint size ball of fun! He is friendly, cuddly, and likes belly rubs. Sadly, Ollie lost his home because his owner had no time for him once he grew up. This cutie is 1 ½ years old and just 36 pounds. He’ll chase after a ball but may not bring it back, and he does like toys…they just need to be durable. Ollie is good with kids and other dogs and would love to make lots of great memories with you.

To meet Ollie (ID A660130 ) or any other pet, visit www.humanebroward.com and complete the pre-adoption application. The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL, and the adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. If you have any questions call 954-989-3977 ext. 6.

*** NOTE: The shelter is currently in need of newspapers. They’re used daily for the cat and rabbit kennels and their shelves are practically bare. Clean newspapers can be dropped off any time after 9 a.m. and the shelter is open 7 days a week. If you want to look at the pets, then come by after 11:00.

Join the PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) Auxiliary of HSBC to enjoy all kinds of fun fundraising events to support the shelter. Find more info here.

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:

Vaccine Clinic: Is open Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 5:30 PM (close daily from 11:40 – 1:00 for lunch). 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: The Admissions Department is open by appointment only. Please call 954-266-6873 and allow 48 hours for a call back. Closed on major holidays.

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.

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 main entrance.
