Review for Humane Society Of Broward County, Ft Lauderdale, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am so proud to be part of this organization, in so many ways, for so many reasons. Adoptions -YES, they are one of the best at what they do and to educate the community on the care of their new fur baby, no matter what the breed is. They even have a foster care program greater than others to care for the little ones and special need ones till they are ready to go up for adoption with no time limit. How awesome is that!!
For the clinic and outpatient services, I have seen this first hand on the good they do for the dogs, cats and community. Low cost vaccinations, spays and neuters, not to mention special care for those who cant afford it at a Vet's office, most of the time HSBC can help or find help. They have some great Dr's who are doing great things.
The Education department is so creative in teaching and assisting our little humans, adult humans and the seniors on caring for pets at home and spreading the word across our communities. Something as fun as a birthday party even has a little lesson in pet care and the kids love it! The Day camps, Summer Camps, and the many Clubs they offer are all so amazing, spaces fill up so fast cause every kid wants to come and join in. Even the new Parents of babies and Toddlers have a class to join. Another special section of the Education dept. is the Animal Assisted Therapy Group (AAT). This group of staff and volunteers with their pets are more than amazing to go out into the community and help those and be with them in time of need. Many Senior homes, hospitals, first responders and of course the Parkland tragedy all have had the benefits of animal assisted therapy time. They were out there in the parkland area for months, helping them get through the terrible tragedy they had to endure and still till this day work closely with schools in Broward county who has the need for animal therapy, education and puppy love. Who doesn't like puppy love!!
As for their fundraisers to keep the shelter going, it takes a village, a community of donors, and some terrific events to keep this spectacular shelter working smooth. They could not do it with out the generosity of our loving community. From the littlest of events at an festival in a park, a baseball game, holiday events and a few Auxiliaries to the amazing WALK for the ANIMALS. This will be the 29th year for the Walk and it gets better every year. I've seen the same sponsors stick around for a long time, what more can I say about the Walk. Seeing is believing.
I will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart for the Humane Society of Broward County.
