I met pet foster parents and their
charges, every veterinarian in the region, and more supportive business owners than I can
count.Cocktails paid homage to the animals as well, with Whisker Sours and Lemon Barkers served in mason jars. A bluegrass band played throughout the night and two tours of the Willis home were hosted by Frank Willis and architect Mark Tarmey. And it’s these down-to-earth, friend-
ly animal advocates who have helped make the Leon County Humane Society one of the largest animal rescue organiza- tions in the region, with a 52-year history of improving the lives of both pets and people in our state’s capital. LCHS is sup- ported 100% through donations and has one of the largest foster and adoption programs in Florida, with more than 1200 volunteers. In addition to rescuing and rehabilitating stray or abandoned animals, they also rescue animals in danger of euth- anization from other shelters throughout the region. U
