Humane Society Of Broward County

The Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC), founded in 1944, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the lives of animals and people in Broward County. Operating from a 33,000-square-foot, air-conditioned shelter, HSBC provides a safe haven for over 300 dogs and cats. Their mission encompasses adoption, education, engagement, and health services, all aimed at fostering a compassionate community of animal advocates.

HSBC offers a comprehensive range of services to support pet owners and the community. These include low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, vaccination clinics, microchipping, behavior and training programs, and end-of-life care services. They also collaborate with Veterinary Centers of America (VCA) Animal Hospitals, providing new adopters with a $250 credit for post-adoption check-ups within the first 14 days.

For those looking to get involved, HSBC provides various volunteer opportunities. Adults can participate in roles such as animal care, photography, and behavior support, with a commitment to a minimum of six months. Teens aged 16 to 18 can join the Teen Animal Care Volunteer Program, a 12-week session that allows them to work alongside animal care staff to earn service hours.

HSBC also offers programs like Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT), where volunteers and their companion animals provide comfort to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. Additionally, their youth programs, including birthday parties, camps, and educational resources, aim to instill a sense of compassion and responsibility toward animals in the younger generation.

Whether you're looking to adopt, volunteer, or support their mission, HSBC welcomes you to be part of their ongoing efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of animals in Broward County.
