When we saw two dogs to look at, the staff let us spend so much time with them. We quickly decided to adopt two huskies and the process was very thorough but efficient. We left very impressed with the Rescue and Refuge. Their mission is such a great idea. I highly recommend adopting your next pet from Alaqua. My family sure will.

She went to walk and face planted and her front leg seemed to just give out on her. She wouldn't stand or walk on it for hours and I so I called to get her checked up, thinking it was broken.

Dr. Jenny assessed that she didn't have anything broken or damaged because my little princess was standing and walking just fine for the doctor. Dr. Jenny didn't even charge us for an office visit.

WE HAVE NO HUMANE SOCIETY IN BAY COUNTY! It has been almost…read more6 years since Hurricane Michael which destroyed the official building housing the humane society. As of today 4/22/2025 there still is NO humane society or any true services to the community as described in the mission statement. All that is being done is, by appointment minimal shot clinic, no rabies shots, toe nail clippings, and "puppy play days". There are NO fund raisers, community outreach, efforts to help the community in any way, even tho the HUMANE SOCIETY OF BAY COUNTY IS SITTING ON OVER A MILLION DOLLARS! The only thing being done is the operation of a thrift store with expenses in excess of the income, while at the same time the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS DRAWING A SALARY FOR DOING NOTHING BUT DRAWING A SALARY! She has claimed for years now she wants to reopen, yet nothing! The admission for Puppy Play Day is a bag of any pet food. Since the humane society sells pet food but does not operate an emergency pet food bank, I can only surmise the donated food is being sold to help cover the expenses of the store. The ED and the board of trustees are all the same people since they were appointed in 2019. There have never been any opportunities for interested individuals to run for a position on the board, the 'meetings' are closed to the public, and no printed copies of the minutes are available. In fact, no actions by the humane society are ever made public! That is very suspicious! OUR HUMANE SOCIETY IS A PUBLICLY OWNED 501c3. It is NOT owned by the ED and as a community and as some people are donators, all information should be available for public review! The ED has elected to maintain secrecy about all operations while she receives a salary for NOT HELPING THE COMMUNITY! I AM CALLING ON THE COMMUNITY TO CONTACT THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EACH AND EVERY BOARD MEMBER AND REQUEST THEIR RESIGNATIONS TODAY! You can find the names and places of employment listed on the Humane Society of Bay County website(tab at the top of the page). If they refuse to do anything promoting the mission of helping animals at risk, then they do not need to be in those positions and need replaced with others who actually care. There is so much more to this issue, but this is how WE start to rectify this obscene mismanagement of OUR humane society! Aprilwomack48@yahoo.com
