To address hunger in Broward County, Animal Care has actively joined the nationwide Hunger Action Month campaign, a push that hits close to home for a million locals facing food insecurity. In light of this crisis, Animal Care is committed to supporting both people and their pet.
"Broward County Animal Care recognizes that when families struggle, their pets often suffer," said Doug Brightwell, director of the agency, as quoted by a recent press release. September is witness to Animal Care's endeavors to ease the financial strain on those families who are forced to make difficult decisions amidst rising living costs. They're aiming to feed, nurture health, and wellness within the pet community.
Broward County residents with pet companions can look forward to a series of initiatives by Animal Care in September. These include handing out free pet food and providing complimentary wellness services to pets through clinics set up in collaboration with local municipalities and the Broward County Library.
The agency has gone further to support the pet-owner bond by waiving all adoption fees for dogs and cats currently in custody. This move is part of a larger effort to ensure animals find their forever homes and also to alleviate any additional financial burden potential adopters. Residents interested in the free pet wellness clinics, or those who need assistance with pet food, can reach out to Animal Care at 954-357-1313 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
This county division shoulders the responsibility for both human and animal residents, focusing on providing services and education within the community. They take pride in their service pillars of public safety, equitable services, and operational excellence. Broward County Animal Care is headquartered at 2400 SW 42nd Street, Fort Lauderdale.
