A Dedicated Resource for Our Community
Serving the 1,505 square miles of our jurisdiction, we act as a vital partner for the residents of Osceola County. We offer support, education, and enforcement programs that promote animal safety and responsible pet ownership.
Our goal is to keep pets with their families whenever possible by providing resources like food assistance and veterinary care information.
How We Provide Care
Our facility, located in St. Cloud, serves as a safe haven where our staff and volunteers work hard to provide compassionate, high-quality care to every animal in our population.
We focus on maintaining a healthy environment and utilizing foster networks to help pets prepare for their new lives while they wait to find their forever families.

Adopting is a joyful commitment, and we are here to help you find the perfect match. Whether you are looking for a playful pup or a sweet cat, our team is ready to introduce you to the wonderful animals currently waiting for a home.
Each adoption includes spay/neuter services and the first set of vaccinations to ensure your new best friend starts their journey with you on the right paw.
