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.

PLEASE VISIT
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.
