Our mission is to support Central Florida animal welfare by awarding grants to local nonprofit and government agencies that are dedicated to shelter and rescue, spay and neuter, community education , or pet retention efforts. We want to ensure no organization that is asked to save a pet has to say no due to lack of funding.
Dogs and cats that don’t have a home need our help now more than ever. In 2021, 357,418 dogs and cats entered Florida shelters — and almost 43,000 of them were euthanized. We help prevent this unnecessary loss of life by awarding animal rescue grants for veterinary care and behavioral training, so they can easily be adopted. Each year, our funds support hundreds of
dogs and cats.
There are too many unwanted and homeless dogs and cats because both domestic pets and community, or feral, dogs and cats continue to procreate. Within seven years, 500 puppies and 5,000 kittens can be born from one unspayed female dog or cat and her offspring. Many of them end up on the streets or in shelters, and may ultimately be euthanized. To combat this problem, we provide funds to spay and neuter organizations, as well as TNR grants, to perform low-cost or free surgeries. Each year, these grants pay for hundreds of surgeries.
Too many people don't understand how to be responsible pet owners, which leads to pets being abandoned, alone, or injured. This is why we fund community education programs, including enrichment activities for youth in the Parramore area of Orlando. We address bite prevention, the importance of spay and neuter, vaccination and regular veterinary care, and the basic requirements of proper pet care.
