wE'RE seeking homes for our biggest friends.
Big dogs need homes, too, and we're launching a campaign to find homes for 30 of our "biggest" friends — dogs weighing 40 pounds or more. For this select group of dogs, we've dropped the adoption fee to just $30 while still including all age-appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, de-worming and a microchip. Do yourself a big favor by adopting a big dog now!
NOT READY TO ADOPT BUT STILL WANT TO HELP? HERE ARE 5 BIG IDEAS FOR YOU...

Shelter unites Hurricane Maria refugees with their displaced animals.
You could feel the warmth and love in the Humane Society's lobby as dogs from Puerto Rico were reunited with their families in Vero Beach. After being displaced by Hurricane Maria, many families made their way to Florida but were forced to temporarily leave their pets behind...
READ MORE ABOUT THESE REUNIONS...
These thirty cherished dogs arrived at the Vero Beach Regional Airport and
were greeted by the Humane Society's staff and volunteers. The dogs are
transported to the shelter, which is serving as a way station. Throughout the
day, families arrived at the shelter, eager to smother their pups with hugs and
kisses. We said our farewells to most of the dogs as they set off for their new
homes in cities including Orlando, Bartow, Winter Haven, Clearwater and
Jacksonville. You can help us continue our vital mission by making a donation.
