The St. Augustine Humane Society promotes lifelong pet ownership by promoting the health and well-being of companion animals in St. Johns County, FL. Their programs are designed to reduce the number of pets entering shelters. They honor the love people have for their pets by offering veterinary pet wellness programs, medical care, and other resources, ensuring every pet has the chance to live a happy, healthy life. The St. Augustine Humane Society provides hope, healing and recovery.

The Pet Cottage celebrates and protects the magical relationship between people and their pets by providing homestyle care for pets who lose their humans due to death, disability, or deployment. Through their two unique programs, The Sanctuary Residency Program and The Lifelong Guardianship Program, they ensure pets have the home, care, and love they deserve--for life. The Pet Cottage has a proud commitment to senior dogs and pays for all medical expenses, including medications and preventatives.

With support from Grey Muzzle, Nate's Honor Animal Rescue is able to provide post-adoption support to adopters of senior pets with special needs. Typically, it takes 90 days for adopters to fully bond with their new pet, and medical expenses during that time often mean a return to the shelter. By providing three months of medication or follow-up treatment for a medical or behavioral issue, adopters have time to bond with their senior pet without worrying about unforeseen costs. 

The Pet Project for Pets, Inc., is one of the largest pet retention organizations in Florida. With headquarters in Broward County, The Pet Project enables people with limited incomes who are elderly, disabled, seriously ill or temporarily unemployed to keep their pets at home with them rather than surrender to shelters due to financial hardship.

The Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) provides care, comfort, and compassion to animals in need while engaging the hearts, hands, and minds of their community to bring about an end to the killing of abandoned and orphaned shelter animals.

Vintage Paws is a sanctuary where senior dogs, regardless of their health, can live out their lives.  They generally accept dogs that are nine years and older, regardless of the breed.  All dogs can be adopted but many are not due to advanced age and/or illness.  The Sanctuary limits the intake based on space and financial constraints – we care until the end, no matter what.
