“The homeless adult dog crisis is impacting shelters across our state. Your adoption of a large dog will free up space that can be used for another dog waiting for life-saving services. Dogs don’t belong in shelters; they belong in loving homes,” said Barry KuKes, Interim Community Outreach Director. “Please visit the shelter to adopt and take advantage of the incentives being offered.”

You can adopt your large adult dog Friday, June 21 through Sunday June 23 between noon and 6 p.m. at the HHS shelter, located at 2364 LPGA Boulevard in Daytona Beach.
