Animal Guardians of Brevard
is NOT a
shelter and we do not have animals directly in our care. Therefore we
cannot accept any animals. We also cannot find new homes for animals
unless they are already in shelters. Our primary
focus is on
Spaying and Neutering, and we
have arranged and funded sterilization of over 3000 cats and dogs (including
1494 in 2008).
We also support the efforts of the Brevard
County Animal Care and Adoption Centers
(South-SACC,
North-NACC)
in trying to manage all the animals discarded or abandoned by the community and
the area's "no-kill" shelters, which are also subject to the
overwhelming number of unwanted pets. SACC and NACC are Brevard's largest and
ONLY open-admission shelters, accepting any animal, from any source, for any
reason, at any time. They
are extremely overcrowded at this time with healthy, friendly cats and dogs who need
safe, loving homes.
PLEASE open your heart and your home to an animal in
dire need. Save a life.

Our NICKEL
NEUTER Event with the SPCA was held on November 13
and SIXTY-ONE cats were neutered for just five

Unfortunately, several people failed to show up
without notice, and 31 additional slots went unused. If funds
permit, we hope to have another Nickel Neuter in the future.

Animal
Guardians of Brevard is honored to be the recipient of a very
generous donation from the estate of Mr.
William Townsend.
Mr. Townsend’s final gift will save the lives and prevent the
birth and suffering of thousands of homeless, abandoned, and unwanted
animals.
Mr.
Townsend was a devoted animal lover throughout his life.
In his later years he could not have pets, Instead, he gave
generously of his time and love to Brevard’s less fortunate dogs and
cats as a volunteer at his local animal shelter.
We
extend our deepest sympathy to those who knew and cared for this
thoughtful gentleman.
Such kindness makes the world a better place for everyone,
especially the animals for whom Mr. Townsend cared so much.

|
|
|
Every time disaster strikes, people rush to adopt displaced pets. While
this is a very generous gesture, PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT
SWEET, BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY ANIMALS IN BREVARD DIE FOR LACK
OF HOMES EVERY DAY whether there has been a disaster or not. IF
YOU HAVE A HOME FOR A DISASTER PET, SURELY YOU HAVE ONE FOR A LOCAL PET WHOSE
LIFE IS JUST AS VALUABLE. Read Buddy's
story.
