HSLWR partners with Best Friends
Recently HSLWR was asked to help with the 129 dogs taken from a hoarding situationin Arkansas. Dubbed the Razorback Rescue, dogs were being transported all over the
United States and many found their way to rescues and shelters in Florida.
One very lucky dog, a black beauty named Ruby came to the Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch. “We took Ruby, a young Lab mix who is absolutely fabulous and in need of a new
family. She needs some training but is just wonderful with everyone,” said Debbie
Rubin, VP of HSLWR.
“Our main focus is the many dogs and cats needing help in Manatee and Sarasota
counties, but we also know that when other groups need help, that is what we are here
for. And Best Friends has been a good colleague to us, we are glad to help.” Said
Autumn Solomon, President of HSLWR.
Many of the dogs were in need of medical treatment and disease was rampant. Lucky
for Ruby that our vet, Dr. Erik Walker, was able to examine her immediately and ensure
she is in good health. What she needs is a family to adopt her and begin enjoying all
the love she has.
The Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch is a non profit no kill rescue and shelter
providing foster homes for dogs and cats. For more information on adopting Ruby,
