NEED TO REHOME YOUR PET?

11/11/2026

We had special guests on Monday! Mrs. Botner and Mrs. Abear’s 5th grade class from Spring Hill Christian Academy spent time with us for a new program, 'Once Upon a Paw'. These students came out to the shelter to read to our animals and to say it was a hit would be an understatement.

Reading programs like "Once Upon a Paw" give our shelter friends such a calm, comforting space to relax, practice quiet companionship, and soak up all the unconditional love (and sweet stories!) they deserve.

To the SHCA 5th graders: thank you for opening your hearts, and your books to our pups. You made their entire week!

Interested in bringing your class out for "Once Upon a Paw"? Please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Kristina Wright, at [email protected] or (352) 797-5884.
