Santa Rosa County Shelter is temporarily closing all adoption operations due to an autoimmune illness called mycoplasma cynos – respiratory bacterium. Please be on alert to any new shelter, rescues, fosters, or strays. Anything presenting as kennel cough should be taken SUPER serious and follow the appropriate protocols. Also, the shelters have been full for the past few months, and they are telling people who call to put the dogs back where they are found. There has been an increase of calls asking if we are a rescue. The answer is no.
