The Humane Society of Manatee County has operated a no-kill facility since its founding in 1970, but the fact that we have not been euthanizing animals to create space in our shelter is not enough. We must look beyond our shelter with compassion and commitment to better the lives of all animals in our community.

Be part of the solution
Business partnerships play a vital role in the many programs we offer. Your participation will help us…

Reduce Companion Animal Overpopulation

Our low cost spay/neuter clinic offers convenient and affordable pet sterilization services to the public. The TNR (trap-neuter-return) program prevents thousands of litters of kittens from entering the already overburdened shelter system.

Support Pet Owners in Your Community
Keeping pets in loving homes is every bit as important as finding new homes for orphaned pets. Our Pet Safety Net program offers a pet food pantry, behavior and training assistance, medical referrals and pet friendly housing referrals to pet owners in need of support.

Save Homeless Animals
The Humane Society has provided food, shelter, medical care, and nurturing to tens of thousands of homeless animals in our community. Chances are, you or someone you know has adopted a loving, lifelong companion from our shelter.
