The Humane Society of Sarasota County is the area's premier no-kill shelter and has been saving lives since 1952.
(381)
As the area’s premier no-kill shelter, the Humane Society of Sarasota County engages the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. We achieve our mission by providing compassionate care to our shelter pets, finding them permanent homes, and promoting responsible pet ownership in our community. Our vision is a community where all animals are cared for and loved. HSSC saves 3,000 ca
t and dog lives each year through a combination of adoption, reuniting lost pets with their owners, community cat programs, and more. Until the day when every pet is a wanted pet, adopters are the angels who make happy endings possible for the thousands who have been abandoned. If there is room in your home and heart, visit HSSC and bring home the pet of your choice. HSSC's adoption fee includes spaying/neutering, health checks, vaccines, preventatives, and microchipping.

Meet Rusty!🤍🐶 This sweet boy recently got a break from the shelter and spent a few days with one of our wonderful HSSC Fosters!
"He is super sweet, that's why I offered to take him to begin with. He is very quiet, I didn't hear him bark or make any noises at all. Loves playing with toys. He did chew a couple, but most he just played with and did not rip them. Loves the squeaky toys! Gets along with everyone. Very quiet, walks nice on a leash unless he spots a bunny. We went to the park, and he loved it! He likes going for all the walks! Very sweet dog, always wants to be right next to me! He was great with people—happy to greet anyone he saw, very friendly. The first car ride he went on he was a little excited, but the rest of the rides we took, he was very good and sat in the back seat."
