The Humane Society of Greater Miami is a private, not-for-profit, 501 © (3) charitable animal welfare organization dedicated to placing every dog and cat in our care into a loving home, and to promoting responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter programs.

We have been helping the abandoned animals in Miami-Dade County since 1936 and currently care for more than 400 homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens daily at the Soffer and Fine Adoption Center in North Miami Beach and through our Foster Care Program. We are able to give these animals a second chance by providing food, shelter and medical care for as long as it takes to find them a kind and loving home.

The Humane Society operates a veterinary clinic, the Gardnar Mulloy Pet Rescue Clinic located in North Miami Beach, which focuses on preventive medicine and spay/neuter. Our goal is to end our community's pet overpopulation problem. To meet this challenge, we perform more than 16,000 spay/neuter surgeries each year and aim to increase those numbers annually. Programs are available that provide low-cost and even free resources for vaccinations and spay/neuter surgeries for those financially disadvantaged people of our community.

As an adoption-guarantee facility, every animal cared for at our shelter is free from the threat of euthanasia due to time, space or treatable medical conditions until their adopted family is found - no matter how long it takes!

In 2017, close to 3,300 animals found their human companions and began their new lives in homes around our community and South Florida. Before a pet is approved for adoption, we go to great lengths to make sure he/she is healthy, vaccinated and spayed or neutered. In addition, counseling and guidance are provided to make sure the right pet is adopted into the right home.

Staff and volunteers of the Humane Society of Greater Miami travel to schools, libraries, organizations and clubs to teach the community about responsible pet ownership and to promote the human/animal bond. Every year, through our Humane Education Program, more than 10,000 children and adults are taught about the importance of being kind to animals and about the seriousness of pet overpopulation.

Unconditional love and acceptance are two of the many rewards received by owning a pet. It is well documented that interaction with animals can significantly improve our physical and emotional health. The Humane Society of Greater Miami's Pet Therapy Program is designed to bring the unique and healing human/animal bond to residents and patients of healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centers, children's hospitals and senior citizen homes throughout Miami. Put as simply as possible, pets make us feel good!

The Humane Society of Greater Miami is a not-for-profit, charitable animal welfare organization supported solely by donations, private grants and fundraising events. We are not funded by the government and rely on our local community for financial support.
