The wonderous world of animals who share our planet and deserve our respect. Pets who are not destined for breeding purposes should be spayed or neutered. This act alone would remove 60% to 65% of all animals in shelters and pounds. Another important item is that humans who desire a pet should go to a local shelter before going to a pet shop where many of the pets offered for sale originated in "Pet Mills".

Myakka River is the largest state park in the Florida Park System and is located about twenty miles east of Sarasota on State Route 72. Some of the favorite activities at the park are fishing, boating, and hiking.
Airboat rides are available as are tram rides in the cooler months.
On the Photo Albums page there is a gallery of Myakka River State Park photos which were taken in July of 2008.
