Rescue FAQs

Animal Safehouse of Brevard is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit effort with two related missions: we rescue pets for people escaping domestic violence and we save dogs from being euthanized at high-kill shelters in neighboring counties. Our mission has always been to provide temporary safe placement of pets who, like their owners, must flee domestic violence situations. While programs provide resources for people fleeing domestic violence, few have facilities for their pets. Most people with pets will not leave abusive homes if they cannot bring their furry loved ones along for fear of retaliation. Animal Safehouse meets this need by providing short-term fostering for these pets until they can be reunited or rehomed when necessary. As more people are displaced due to economic issues, more pets are displaced, too. This and other factors such as addiction, domestic violence, mental health, and post-pandemic life shifts have led to crisis numbers of young, healthy, and non-aggressive dogs being euthanized at county shelters. Since our domestic violence needs are sporadic, we simultaneously rescue and rehome pets from ‘euth lists’ at county shelters in neighboring counties, most often Orange County Animal Services.
