Welcome to Alaqua
No-kill animal refuge in Florida’s Panhandle.
Daily Operating Hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 11am – 4pm
If you are interested in adopting an animal, please review our Adoption Guidelines.
Adopt a Pet
Our unique no-kill refuge has successfully found homes for thousands of once-abused, neglected and homeless animals since opening in 2007. Providing adoption services is not just our job, it is our mission, and matching the perfect pet with loving owners is our passion.
Difference Makers Video Podcast
Laurie Hood’s “Difference Makers” Video Podcast Series spotlights amazing individuals who have dedicated themselves to animal protection and safety. By interviewing these “difference makers” and sharing their stories, we hope to rally all animal lovers to create much needed and lasting change.
Animoré Magazine
Alaqua is excited to introduce Animoré Magazine to deepen its connection with its community and supporters. The quarterly magazine aims to educate, inspire and engage readers, offering seasonal insights, updates and stories from Alaqua, and helping readers stay informed on the refuge’s activities.
