Animal Refuge Center, Inc.
As the largest no-kill shelter/sanctuary in Florida, our philosophy avows that once an animal is accepted for adoption, it will not be destroyed to make room for another. Our primary goal is to find the BEST homes for our animals.
ARC is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 11 AM until 4 PM, for tours and adoptions. Â If you see a cat or dog that you like, you may contact us and an ARC representative will discuss the animal in further detail. Or you may call between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM for more information.
Please Note: Â The adoption process is NOT first come, first served. Â If there is interest from more than one party in a particular resident, we will take into account all aspects of the applicants' applications, and choose the BEST HOME for our resident. Â Our primary goal is to find the BEST homes for our animals. Â Thank you for your understanding!
In order to be considered as an adopter, Â you must:
Be 21 years old or older;
Have a current photo ID showing age and current address;
Be willing and able to provide training, medical care and loving attention for a pet; and
Pay adoption fees.
All animals have been spayed or neutered, have had vaccines appropriate to age, have been tested for FIV/FeLV (cats) and heartworm (dogs).
All animals have also been micro-chipped and come with one month of free pet insurance.
