Humane Society of Broward County

Our Mission

The Humane Society of Broward County is dedicated to building a humane community by advocating for and improving the lives of animals through adoption, community services, and education. We believe in the power of bringing amazing animals and people together to create a brighter, more compassionate future.

Our History and Community

Founded in 1944, the Humane Society of Broward County is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are not a division of county services or affiliated with any government or national groups, which allows us to focus our full energy and resources directly on the needs of our local community.

How We Help

We operate a 33,000 square-foot, air-conditioned facility capable of housing more than 300 dogs and cats. As an open admission shelter, we mobilize a dedicated team of over 550 volunteers to provide care to more than 100,000 visitors and thousands of animals every single year.

Your Role in Our Family

We honor the natural love and joy that exists between people and their pets, and we strive to create a legacy of happy families. By choosing to adopt, you are fulfilling a mutual need for care and companionship that makes our community stronger, one wagging tail or contented purr at a time.
