Florida Rescues
Please let me know if any are outdated or if you would like to add yours.
This listing is ONLY for Florida-based groups.
If you are looking for contacts in your area, try contacting one of the people listed below,
they might be able to help you. Just because they are listed as being in one part of the state (or country) does not mean it's their only area.
Check out the listing of Florida Humane Societies & County Animal Shelters
DISCLAIMER: The Webmaster does not specifically endorse any of these groups. I saw the need for a list to be posted and maintained. If you plan to adopt, please remember that you can interview them too. For further reading, please see Some Common Misconceptions About Breed Rescues.
