By Stephanie Byrne | Posted: Sat 8:43 PM, Nov 24, 2018
The Humane Society of Bay County is hosting holiday photo shoots for families and their pets this season.
Four-legged friends had their pictures taken at Breeze Animal Hospital in Panama City Beach Saturday.
For a $20 donation, people could receive 3 unedited photos. For $30, they could get 5 edited photos.
Donations benefit the Humane Society.
“This is a big fundraiser for them as much as we can, especially close to the holidays and we love it and this has worked out wonderful, especially right after what we just went through with the storm, so all we can do is help them and that was great,” Peggy Wilson, Hospital Manager for Breeze Animal Hospital, said.
Leslie Jones is the volunteer photographer.
If you missed Saturday’s photo shoot, no need to pout or cry.
Your next chance to capture holiday moments with your pets is December 1st from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Humane Society of Bay County. – View article here.

Humane Society of Bay County in Need of Donations
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – The Humane Society of Bay County helps our furry friends, but the non-profit organization also needs some help of its own.
Posted: Tue 4:45 PM, Oct 02, 2018 | Updated: Tue 7:01 PM, Oct 02, 2018
Donations to the shelter have been down 60 percent in the last few months. Right now, they have a lot of cats and even more dogs and puppies. Employees said their need varies depending on how many animals they have.
“Right now I could say that we are mostly in need of Dog Chow and Puppy Chow,” Lauryn Gill explained. “Those specific brands that we use are the Purina Dog Chow line and Puppy Chow, but we could also use Kitten Chow and Cat Chow. We really take in any donations of food, but those are main brands that we like to stick to to keep the animals regular and no upset stomachs.”
Used linens, blankets, towels or gently used pet beds are also needed. The Humane Society is located behind Panama City Police Department. Donations can be dropped off inside or by the door anytime.

Local Shelter Hosts Shot Clinic for Pets
Panama City, Fla. – A local animal shelter helping the community keep their pets healthy.
The Humane Society of Bay County held an open shot clinic, providing a wide array of services for a low cost.
With no appointment needed, rabies shots, micro-chips, nail trims, and other animal health essentials were readily available.
The event also provided the opportunity for locals to learn more about proper ownership and how it may affect other’s pets.
“Shots can be pretty expensive and if you have multiple pets it can become really expensive. So giving a low cost shot clinic is really a benefit to the community,” said Brenda Leader, Humane Society Thrift Store Manager.
The Humane Society of Bay County is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of sheltering and locating homes for animals through adoptions.

Giving Slows, but Need is Ever-present
PANAMA CITY — Even though Santa unloaded his sleigh and headed back to the North Pole, the Humane Society of Bay County Thrift and Gift store still has a wish list.
The list includes such items as soap, laundry detergent, Purina Puppy Chow and others. The organization recently started the Wish List, so people can go online, view it and perhaps fill a need.
“We’re always in need of supplies,” said Brenda Leader, Humane Society of Bay County Thrift and Gift store manager. “Just because the season is over, doesn’t mean the need has disappeared. Our shelter is open year-round.”
The organization is among the many groups across the county still in need of the community’s generosity, even after the holidays end.
The store is fresh off its holiday pet photo shoot, held in November and December, yet it still needs help. The fundraisers brought in about half of the store’s goal of $3,000. Proceeds were given to the Humane Society.
