The Southeast Volusia Humane Society in New Smyrna Beach is hoping some people will be able to open their homes this holiday season to some four-legged friends in need of a foster family. The shelter looks festive, but it’s still sad with dozens of homeless cats and dogs in confined spaces. That’s why the staff came up with “Home for the Holidays,” an effort to get every animal in a foster home for four days from Dec. 22 to Dec. 26.

Kirby (black) was adopted by Ron and Sammie H. He joins two others in his new home– Buba and Sugar. This family is a real blessing for Kirby.

An adoption was made by Joe and Audra. They fell in love with Dillon and plan to keep that name. He joins two other Poms in his new home.

Mayquitha (Tita) and her sister Chloe adopted two black puppies that hadn’t been named by the Shelter. They will get to know the puppies and give them appropriate names.

Nova was adopted by Anoop who has decided that Hannah will be her new name and looks forward to giving Hannah a home where she can grow and thrive and overcome her fears.

On Saturday, December 05, 2009, after two days of steady rain, the sun came out and the Christmas Parade began. Southeast Volusia Humane Society decorated their van with garland, bulbs, lights, and wrapping paper. The van looked great! Thank goodness it stopped raining and the parade was a big success. Southeast Volusia Humane Society is truly loved by many in our sweet paradise community. We handed out candy, dog bones, and flyers. The slide show contains photographs of many of the wonderful people in our community. We hope you enjoy seeing the parade through these pictures.

Herman is my wrestling partner and my support system. He is just so darn adorable and we are thrilled to have him around. We didn’t pick him, he was definitely sent to us.

The Southeast Volusia Humane Society joined their mascot “LUV” at the Annual New Smyrna Beach Halloween Parade. Hundreds of children and adults enjoyed trick-or-treating and marched in the parade at Canal Street on October 31, 2009.

Happy has found a loving home with her new owner, Dorothy, and her kitty family. We wish them all the best for a wonderful life!

Ozzie, helped my family out. Our 5 year old daughter was feeling sad and alone because her dad is leaving for the army. Ozzie has been a blessing to her and our family. The “kids” play great together!

Rusty (formerly known as Milton) has found a new home with Jim and Darlene. The new Rusty will make a great companion for his new friends.

Stitch has found a new home today with Donna and her dog, Chimmy. You can already tell Chimmy and Stitch will be best buds for life!

The boys and I have been so happy with Emmie. She has the sweetest soul! In these few days, I feel that she has been a companion in our family forever!

The Southeast Volusia Humane Society pets were such a hit at this years Port Orange Family Days event.

Lucky Girl Mandy was adopted by a great family during Port Orange Days. She found a new home with Teresa, Tiffani, Wesley, and new brother Rusty.

Thanks to the Southeast Volusia Humane Society, we were able to find Wolfie, a black and silver Siberian Husky who has been a wonderful addition to our family.

Taffy spent over a year at the shelter, unfortunately because of the way she looked. No one would adopt her. Now understand, taffy was not adopted, she picked us. I sat down and she washed my face and she has had a happy home every since.

Southeast Volusia Humane Society Cats and Kittens are relaxing and enjoying their new room. Their new remodeled room looks really nice with tile and cages. Below you will enjoy seeing the new cat room while shelter employee, Debbie, trims and weighs some of the available cats and kittens.

Monkey loves his food, ice cubes, riding in the car especially and totally hogs my bed and I am in heaven. Yes, I miss Savannah like crazy but here is another LPFC to love and share life with. They are so good at stealing and melting your grieving heart.

Hi my name is Scruffy (formally known as Spot). My big sister Jenniferlee took one look at me at the Southeast Volusia Humane Society and knew I was going home with her. My mom says I’m heaven sent. I love my new family.

Kasey (formerly known as Hoppy) was instantly adored by new owners, Shelley, Drew, Jakob, and Sam. I bet Kasey will have so much fun with new big brothers!
