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.
We support the efforts of the Brevard
County Animal Care and Adoption Centers
(South-SACC,
North-NACC)
in trying to manage all the animals discarded, abandoned, or turned away 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 always overcrowded 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.

Shelter animals are also be available
for adoption at Aloha Pet and Bird
Hospital
at
968 E. Eau Gallie Blvd.
on the beach (321-777-6444).
AN URGENT PLEA:
PLEASE FOSTER NEEDY ANIMALS
The shelters always needs foster caregivers for dogs and cats. TO HELP SAVE LIVES, please visit the South
Animal Care & Adoption Center at 5100 West Eau Gallie Boulevard in
Melbourne, FL to complete a foster application and get more details.

This
mother cat
got lucky and someone fostered her tiny babies until they could find
homes. But when they do, the mothers often cannot fine forever homes
of their own. They are frequently nearly
babies themselves. Many mothers with tiny kittens,
orphans too small to survive, and other cats and dogs are in desperate need
of foster care and permanent homes. Please
give them a chance. Be a foster caregiver. For more information
about fostering contact the
South
Animal Care and Adoption Center or call 321-7253-6608.

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.
