February Spokespet of the Month
Meet our February Spokespet of the Month: Flynn! Flynn was a runner-up in our fifth annual Jacksonville’s Cutest Pet Contest.
“Flynn was found as a stray and brought to the Jacksonville Humane Society, and he was heartworm positive. We adopted Flynn almost the same day he arrived at JHS in August 2021. Flynn’s heartworm treatment over the first few months went very well and he was officially heartworm negative August 2022. Flynn recovering from heartworms was in no way a limitation, Flynn is extremely healthy and very active. He has a special passion for swimming; long after everyone else is out of the water he will continue to throw his toys in by himself, let them float away a bit and jump in after them. He has a perfect line down his face which is unique and mysterious. I think it makes him Jacksonville’s cutest. We named him Flynn because it means ‘son of the red-haired one.'” – Flynn’s family
