This is pretty close to where I live (North Florida) and i used to live in Jefferson County, so when i saw this posted in Craigslist i decided to crosspost to maybe help out in some way

 



Help the Jefferson County Humane Society! To prevent the euthanasia of 50 cats and dogs on Friday, Sept. 19th due to a loss of funding.

The Jefferson County Humane Society has been told that they must euthanize all but 10 dogs and 10 cats on Friday, Sept 19. Currently, they are housing almost 30 dogs and over 40 cats, leaving roughly 50 animals to be euthanized when the deadline comes.

We hope to prevent this tragedy by spreading the word and encouraging people who are considering adopting a new pet to please visit this week. We would greatly appreciate advice from other people or organizations who may be able to relocate these animals or provide funding to the shelter.

We hope that an outpouring of support this week may minimize the number of animals being housed and maximize funds so the decision may be reversed. The main phone line for the Humane Society is (850) 342-0244. They will be happy to answer your questions and give you more information about the situation there.
