Here is a list of local dog shelters in the South Florida area

If you're searching for specific traits in a new dog, we recommend searching petfinder.com. Please note that not all of these shelters qualify as "no kill".

When you buy a puppy from a store, you might be supporting the barbaric system of puppy mills. Be a hero instead and contact a rescue shelter. We guarantee there is a wonderful soul desperately waiting to be your forever friend!
