WHO WE ARE: Since 1953 we have been providing refuge and help to the animals of Indian River County. The Society, a non-profit organization which operates the county's only animal shelter, aids over 6,000 animals annually. No animal -- young, old, domestic or wild, homeless, lost, ill or injured -- is ever turned away.
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS:
- Shelter and Care for every animal that comes to the shelter
- Animal Rescue for the sick,lost, or cruelly treated
- Health screening and pre adoption sterilization
- Lost and Found helps reunite pets and people and offers free ID tags
- Sterilization Assistance for needy families
- Behavior Counseling for solving pet behavior problems and help for matching pets with families
- Humane Education: In school presentations, shelter visits, and the "Humane Times" newsletter
- Care Cadets give structured animal care training at the shelter to young volunteers
- Foster Care: Secure haven for pets of families in temporary crisis
- Pets for Senior: lends financial help to make pet ownership feasible
- Grief Counseling compassionately helps those experiencing the death of an animal companion
- Pet Therapy lights up the lives of nursing home residents with visits of shelter pets
- Disaster Relief meets the needs of residents with companion animals before and after natural catastrophes
OUR FUTURE: With a history of nearly 50 years of helping animals in Indian River County, we look forward to the future. Our 35,000+ sq. ft. facility on 77th Street is now open. The Adoption & Education and Receiving Center provide ample room for education programs, adoption counseling, pet behavior help and training, special areas for foster care, a chapel for grief counseling, and a medical/surgery suite.
