TITUSVILLE, Fla. – A Central Florida Dog Rescue is in need of help after the owner said she’s being forced to shut down and has 22 dogs who need homes.
Furever Home Animal Rescue says it will be shutting its doors on March 4. After the Titusville dog rescue shared on social media that they were closing, community members and other shelters came out in droves to help. On Sunday, 17 dogs were adopted.
“The community today came out of the blue, just surpassed our expectations, and did step up,” said Jenelle Scurlock, the owner of Furever Home Animal Rescue.
However, the rescue has 22 dogs that still need homes.
“I’m worried for the animals that we have,” said Dawn Lafferty, a manager with Furever Home Animal Rescue. “We’re just asking for anybody who can step up and give dogs a great home.”
The rescue said the reason they’re shutting down is in part that they cannot afford to fix their roof, which would cost $60,000, and said code enforcement also cited them for several other violations.
“They want the roof completely replaced,” said Lafferty. “We have patched it. We have repaired it. We can’t replace it. There’s no funds to replace the roof.”
Richard Lange volunteers at the Titusville rescue and has a rescue of his own too. He’s hoping a company can step up to help them fix the roof so that maybe they can keep the doors open.
“I’d like to reach out to somebody that can give us a hand and get this done so that we can save more dogs’ lives,” said Lange.
With less than a month until they plan to shut down for good, they’re hoping someone can give their dogs a forever home before then.
“Just please share our story and help us get these 22 amazing dogs into a family,” said Lafferty.
If you’d like to adopt one of their dogs or help please reach out to the shelter, and you can also visit them at: 2605 Flake Rd, Titusville.
