We hope you're having a cozy pj Saturday just like Gargy.

This handsome couch potato loves spending time with his people. Gargy is happiest when he's nearby collecting head scratches and soaking up affection lounging around on the couch.

Gargy enjoys treats, toys, and meeting new people. He's also a smart cookie who already knows "sit" and "down."

He would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can be the center of attention and receive all the love he deserves.

Interested in meeting Gargy? Complete an adoption application today:

She's tiny but mighty! October is Blindness Awareness Month, so we want to introduce you to Skittles, a six-year-old, visually impaired Pomeranian with a BIG personality!

Despite her limited vision, Skittles navigates the world surprisingly well! She may occasionally bump into furniture or need a little extra help in unfamiliar places, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying life.

Skittles has spent most of her time with us in a foster home, where we've learned just how sweet and affectionate she is. She's a high-energy little girl who loves being close to her person. She's definitely a Velcro dog!

Because of her limited vision, Skittles can be startled by unfamiliar people or dogs and needs slow introductions. She would likely do best as the only pet in a home where she can soak up all the love and attention!

If you're interested in meeting Skittles, complete a dog adoption application. Once approved, you can schedule a meet and greet!

HSNCF Forever Home Check In: Mia

From Mia's Adopter: "Mia has settled right at home and is giving all the cuddles and chirps. A purr machine!"

Looking for a goofy boy who loves to dance? Meet Coop! 🕺

Coop is the happiest pup you'll meet! He's only one year old, and loves treats. He will even show you his little hops and dance moves to get more!

He enjoys running around outside and playing with toys. Coop is also dog friendly! He would do great with a dog who also has a lot of energy and love for life.

Plus, Coop has very good manners when it comes to vey visits and getting his nails trimmed. He shows positive signs with training with his love for food and life and his young age.

If you're interested in meeting Coop, complete a dog adoption application. Once approved, you can schedule a meet and greet!

🐾 The Humane Society of North Central Florida is proud to once again participate in the 2026 UF Campaign for Charities (UFCC)! 🐊💙

The UFCC is an annual campus-wide fundraiser where UF employees can give to local nonprofits through payroll deduction, one-time gifts, or volunteering. This year’s campaign runs until the end over November, offering another opportunity to make a lasting difference for animals in need.

👉 To learn more or donate, visit ufcc.ufl.edu

Not a UF employee? You can still give directly and support our mission!

Thank you to all the Gators who choose to support our life-saving mission through UFCC. You’re helping give pets second chances and forever homes. 🐕🐈

We are excited to share that we had 132 adoptions in September! 👏🎉

Every adoption is a reminder of what's possible when a community comes together.

Thank you to everyone who opened their heart and home to a pet in need. Your compassion helps us continue our mission to end the needless euthanasia of healthy and treatable pets.

Let's keep the momentum going and make October another spook-tacular month for pets in need!
