Partnership with Alaqua Animal Refuge
Hotel Effie is proud to partner with Alaqua Animal Refuge, a no-kill animal shelter and sanctuary, located in Northwest Florida. As the Southeast’s premier 501(c)3 refuge and sanctuary, Alaqua believes that every abused, neglected and homeless animal deserves a second chance. Since its inception in 2007, Alaqua has become a recognized leader in animal rescue, welfare, cruelty prevention, and advocacy in our region, state and around the country.
Partnership with Dog-Harmony
Hotel Effie is proud to partner with Dog-Harmony, a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the relationship between dogs and humans through ongoing community education. Simply put, they help dogs rescue people. Dog-Harmony programs provide evidence-based information related to the care and well-being of dogs, which significantly reduces the likelihood that a dog will be abandoned or surrendered to a shelter. Programs are dynamic, changing to focus on the greatest needs of the community at the time
