Animal Guardians of Brevard

Thank you for visiting our site.  We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the welfare of homeless animals.

• Featured Pets
• Spay/Neuter Programs and Information
• Special Thanks to Our Supporters and Sponsors

Animal Guardians of Brevard was formed to promote responsible, lifetime pet guardianship through education, counseling, and accessible, affordable sterilization.  We strive to increase awareness of companion animal overpopulation and promote or participate in any activities that will improve the well-being of homeless, neglected, abandoned, and unwanted animals. 

Animal Guardians of Brevard   exists to see that one day every companion animal born will have the lifetime, loving home s/he deserves in a world with No More Homeless Pets.  

In October, 2006, our President, Mary E. Peer, was chosen as a finalist for Volunteer of the Year by Florida Today.

On April 20, 2007, Animal Guardians received regional Jefferson Award Recognition. 

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 nearly 2200 cats and dogs. 

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.

Animal Guardians' SPAY-NEUTER CLINICS and Assistance

Animal Guardians of Brevard offers low cost spay-neuter services (and financial aid for eligible pet guardians) through local low-cost clinics and a mobile clinic.  

APPOINTMENTS ARE MANDATORY.  Please click here or contact us for more information.

PLEASE NOTE:  We do NOT spay and neuter pets adopted from rescue organizations for an adoption fee.  If you cannot afford the cost of sterilization and necessary shots in addition to the adoption fee, then please adopt from a responsible organization where it is all included.   Generally the fee is no higher and the animals are just as wonderful!  

Special thanks to the staff at Aloha Pet and Bird Hospital for making a big difference in the lives of homeless animals in Brevard County.  They have rescued several homeless animals from the South Animal Care and Adoption Center (SACC) who were in danger of being euthanized.  Animals are cared for in the office, which frees up space for other animals at the overcrowded shelter.   This off-site exposure also provides an opportunity to see and adopt these animals for members of the community who might not go the shelter.  In addition, they receive extra attention and socialization that the overburdened shelter staff is unable to provide, and this enhances their chances for adoption.
The veterinary staff at the South Animal Care and Adoption Center (SACC) were recognized by Animal Guardians for their dedication to Brevard's homeless animals.  They provide care for a wide range of ailments often not treated in a shelter population and are available 24/7 to provide treatment plans.  Shown (l. to r.) vet techs Tina and Gwen, veterinarian Dr. Robbie Asher, and Mary and Dennis Peer of Animal Guardians.  Thanks for going the extra mile!

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.
