Angel's Story

Lee County Animal Control first met Angel, a six-month-old husky mix puppy, on a hot July day in 2011. She was chained up on a front porch with no water or shelter from the hot sun. She was prone to trembling, possibly caused by neglect and/or abuse. 

Fortunately, after a week in the custody of Animal Control, the trembling had subsided and we were able to begin the search for the perfect family to adopt Angel. Read Angel's Story (PDF) to find out more about Angel's journey to finding the perfect family.
