Florida Humane Society

Celebrating more than three decades of service to South Florida pets, the Florida Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, volunteer-based, no-kill animal shelter located on North Powerline Road in Pompano Beach. The organization is dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted, abandoned, abused, and neglected companion animals across Broward County while working to reduce pet overpopulation through spay-and-neuter programs and humane community education.

Dogs entering the shelter receive comprehensive veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, microchipping, and spay-and-neuter surgery prior to placement. Caring staff and volunteers provide daily enrichment, socialization, leash walks, and individualized behavioral support so each dog can decompress and prepare for life in a permanent home. In addition to its main Pompano Beach shelter facility, the organization coordinates satellite adoption appointments in Coral Springs and Pompano Beach. Volunteers and shelter staff spend daily one-on-one time walking, grooming, and socializing the dogs in shaded exercise yards so each canine builds confidence before meeting prospective adopters.

Prospective adopters can visit the shelter during public visitation hours from Thursday through Sunday between noon and four in the afternoon or schedule an appointment with an adoption counselor. Because the Florida Humane Society receives no government funding and relies entirely on private donations, adoption fees, and community grants, Broward County residents can support its lifesaving mission by adopting, fostering, volunteering at the shelter, or contributing supplies. Broward County families can visit during Thursday through Sunday adoption hours or donate pet food and supplies directly to the shelter.
