Help save homeless pets in FL
Shelters near you need help to save more lives. Every day, dogs and cats are killed in animal shelters across Florida simply because they don’t have a place to call home. Together, with your help, we’re changing that.
Best Friends is working with animal welfare organizations and stakeholders statewide to save every pet who can be saved and reach no-kill through Florida in 2025. Your local shelter is counting on your help. Now is the time to get involved and make a lifesaving difference.
Best Friends kick-starts lifesaving efforts in Florida
Best Friends has funded a peer-to-peer project with Jacksonville Humane Society and partners in Pinellas County to kick-start a return-to-field (RTF) cat program. We are also working with Polk County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control to increase lifesaving opportunities and rescue placement for at-risk animals.
