HUMANE SOCIETY OF SARASOTA COUNTY

As the area’s premier no-kill shelter, the Humane Society of Sarasota County (HSSC) engages the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. A home is found for every adoptable pet in our care. We also offer volunteer opportunities for teens and adults, humane education programs, pet therapy, fostering, obedience courses, and a full-service veterinary clinic that is open to the public. HSSC is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. We receive no federal funding, nor are we funded by or affiliated with any other humane organization—local or national. HSSC is the only animal welfare organization in Florida (and one of just three nationwide) with a 4-star rating and a perfect score from Charity Navigator, America’s premier independent charity evaluator.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME—it’s what all pets long for. At the Humane Society of Sarasota County, we are a safe harbor on an animal’s journey to its “furever” family. During their stay with HSSC, animals receive the essentials—nutritious food, medical attention, and safe shelter—but they also receive affection, attention, and enrichment. For some of these animals, we are the place where they first experience compassion and hope. Time after time, we see scared, hurt, and sick animals blossom while in our care. Their transformation continues when they are adopted into loving homes. When you support HSSC, you make this happiness possible. You give animals a home.

Our HSSC “home” is also transforming. We are undergoing the most extensive renovation and expansion in our nearly 70-year history. Our new facility, located at our existing location on 15th Street in Sarasota, will be complete by May 2021. We already provide a temporary home for more than 1,800 animals each year. Our new campus will enable us to save 900 more each year. We are heading into our most exciting and lifesaving chapter, and you can be part of it. You can help us build the future.

We envision a community where all animals are cared for and loved. You can be part of making that vision a reality. Adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate this holiday season, and, together, we will Bring Love Home.
