Adoptions

Polk County Humane Society ensures a lifetime of safety, love and companionship for lost, abandoned and unwanted pets. We provide shelter and care in a safe, no-kill environment for pets awaiting a second chance. We adopt these pets to responsible, loving, and committed homes. Polk County Humane Society works to reduce the overpopulation, loss, abandonment and surrender of pets by promoting the spay and neuter of all pets, and educating the community on responsible and successful pet ownership.

We cater to senior dogs that have been turned into the shelter or to a veterinarian for for euthanasia but it is not their time yet. We get their medical needs met and if adoptable we adopt them out. If it isn't feasible to have them adopted they stay in our system until it is their time to cross the rainbow bridge.

Working Dogs For Vets Mission is to provide service dogs and training to disabled heroes in need, empowering them as they return to civilian life with new-found independence; reducing suicide and overcrowding in animal shelters.

About Planned Pethood, Inc: Planned Pethood, Inc. is a foster-based animal rescue program serving Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Established in 1979, our non-profit organization’s mission is to reduce the overpopulation and suffering of dogs and cats through education and low-cost spay-neuter programs, and to rescue, care for, and place adoptable dogs and cats into good, permanent homes. Our no-kill methods are education, low-cost spay/neuter programs and a wide-spread adoption program that rescues unwanted animals, sees to their veterinary needs and places them into permanent, loving homes. The more money we have, the more lives we can save right here in our community. I am the executive director and do so for my love of animals and respect for the practices of PPI.

We provide a safe retirement home for horses and a safe place for Neutered/vaccinated community cats. We are committed fostering and adopting out cats and kittens after neuter and vaccination.

Here is my about me page: More than 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry has led Karen to where she is today. As a young girl, Karen volunteered in animal shelters in eastern Pennsylvania. Her instincts as a natural healer led her to a medical career upon completing a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree at West Chester University. Karen worked full time as a Registered Nurse for over 25 years and continued her education in holistic medicine over the last 20 years. She now works with clients in their homes and remotely, using animal communication and energy healing. She offers solutions to health issues, behavior issues, stress, anxiety, and end of life transitions. Most of these are treated with various energy healing modalities. Karen is passionate about helping to heal animals in shelters, sanctuaries, and rescue organizations. Today Karen continues to volunteer with the local rescue organization, Florida Keys SPCA in Marathon, Florida. While she has been involved with FKSPCA since 2003, she took on a more personal role in 2014 when she began implementing the use of calming music, and the diffusing of therapeutic-grade essential oils. This has helped to promote relaxation and healing in the indoor kennel areas by calming the dogs’ nervous systems. In addition to establishing Payton’s Promise Sanctuary, Karen is also a Best Selling Author, Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner, and Intuitive Healer. She graduated from Communication with all Life University, where she fine-tuned her skills in animal communication and energy medicine. Karen lives in South Florida with the loves of her life, her dogs.
