Our ongoing mission is to help all the animals in Manatee County by:

Reducing the pet over-population problem by providing several different spay/neuter programs..

Sheltering homeless animals until a "forever home" is found. There is no time limit on the animals that are waiting to be adopted at our shelter. They stay either at the shelter or in a foster home. Volunteers and foster homes are always desperately needed.

Empowering the community, through education, (children, as well as adults) to be responsible animal advocates.

Humane Society of Manatee County's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Bradenton, FL.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
