Business Details
We have proudly served our community for over 20 years as a dedicated non-profit animal rescue shelter and adoption center. Our organization takes in emergency, abuse, and neglect cases, along with dogs and cats from various animal control agencies across South Florida. We operate a fully equipped clinic that offers low cost spay and neuter services, focusing significantly on managing the feral cat population. Our comprehensive approach includes providing vaccinations, heartworm treatments, dentals, and other minor medical procedures to ensure every animal receives proper care. We maintain the highest standards of operational transparency, evidenced by our yearly audited accounts and our platinum seal from Guidestar. As a member of the Society for Non-Profits, ASPCA, and the American Heartworm Society, we adhere strictly to professional veterinary and rescue protocols.
Our founder established this organization with a profound commitment to animal welfare, utilizing her veterinary technician training to implement humane trap, spay, and release programs. We have consistently grown our capabilities, expanding from a basic rescue group to a comprehensive veterinary hospital and adoption center. By 2014, our facility was providing over 3000 spay and neuter surgeries annually while finding homes for an average of 1400 cats and dogs that would have otherwise been destroyed. We rely completely on the generosity of public donations to fund our life saving operations and recovery programs. We remain steadfast in our mission to address the severe overpopulation of stray and abandoned animals through accessible medical care and public education.

Incredibly nice people who are in it to help animals. Vet services at the most reasonable prices around today (6/22). Tiny, no frills facility. If your pet needs vaccines, take them there. If you want to adopt- check with them first! They have a large selection of kittens & young cats up for adoption. Dogs, too. Limited parking, & they will come outside to help those who must use a wheelchair because the building is very small.

My mom & I went today to adopt a beautiful dog, we saw him on their website, submitted an application then made an appointment to meet the dog. We are so happy to make him part of our family. The team at Animal Aid are amazing, this place is crazy busy and they run it so well. Amy was so wonderful with my mom, helping her get her new dog ready to go to his new home. Amy answered all of our questions. We even received help getting our vehicle out of the parking lot- THANK YOU. I will recommend this shelter to everyone and anyone looking for a forever friend.

After hearing $400, $600, $500 and even heard $100 just to tell me how much the spaying would cost I finally found Animal Aid by luck while desperately searching for a vet. $145 is very fair and like everyone has said the staff was very friendly and caring and work their butts off, they were so busy and still got my cat spayed and back to me same day. I'll Def recommend this place to everyone and will be bringing my male cat to them next, thanks Animal Aid!

Wonderful experience with entire staff, especially Diane & Tamara. All my questions were answered & they educated me @ the SNIP Voucher Program which saved me $200! I took my stray adult Calico cat to get spayed & 1 of 6 kittens to be vaccinated & treated for fleas. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this organization

I went to Animal Aid, not having been there before to seek treatment for small dog in need of dental services. They referred me to Total Vet Care next door to them for service. Very thankful for their recommendation. To my knowledge, Animal Aid is a pet adoption facility.
