New Horizons Village
Residents from New Horizons Village in Lecanto have created a new recipe for doggie biscuits and were very anxious to see how the dogs at Paws-itively Pets would enjoy
their home-made treats. Pictures are better than
words...it’s easy to see how much our kids enjoyed their
visit and how much fun our visitors had.

SPRING CLEANING ANYONE??
Hopefully the cold winter
weather is behind us and
spring is finally here. The Humane Society of Citrus County
is planning a spring yard sale
for the benefit of the homeless
pets who are currently in our
care and to enable us to rescue more pets in need. For
many of us the wonderful
warm weather is a sign that it
is time to do the spring cleaning. If you are one of those
energetic people and you happen to find any good usable
items (no clothing please) you
would like to donate them for
our upcoming sale, please
bring them to our shelter
Tuesday through Friday between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
We will be having our sale on
April 8th and 9th (Friday and
Saturday).
I know that
sounds like a long way off, but
it will be here before we know
it. Our shelter location is 751
S Smith Ave. in Inverness. If
you need to schedule another
time to bring your items in
please call 341-2222 or call
Karron at 560-0051 and we
will make an
ap po i n tme n t
for
another
time.
