The Humane Society of Broward County has been a pillar of the Broward County community since 1944. Starting with humble beginnings in a 5,000 square foot house, our shelter has evolved into a 33,000 square foot building that has the ability to house over 300 dogs, cats and other furry animals. Since we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, receiving no direct funding or financial support from the government or any national group with a similar name, we rely on the generosity of the community, private grants and fundraising efforts. These donations allow us to provide care for homeless animals, educational programs in schools and the community, behavior training and administering low cost spay/neuter and vaccines for the public.
