Animal Shelter and Rescue Grants
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.
Spay, Neuter and TNR Grants
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.
Community Education Grants
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.
Pet Retention Grants
Pet retention focuses on helping families keep their pets in loving homes by addressing challenges that might otherwise lead to surrender. Whether it's providing pet food, vaccines and other preventive veterinary care, or behavioral rehabilitation, pet retention programs reduce shelter intake and ensure pets remain healthy, happy, and with their families where they belong.
