Laurie Hood

Laurie Hood discovered countless animals were being euthanized due to the lack of a no-kill shelter/adoption organization in the Walton County area. Hood formed Alaqua Animal Refuge in 2007. Since that time, Alaqua Animal Refuge has helped find homes for thousands of animals. Currently, up to 100 animals are adopted per month from this unique rescue facility, which serves as a true refuge for more than 250 animals at any given time.
