Who Says You Can’t Buy Happiness?

Won’t you lend a paw?

The Animal Refuge Center is a non-profit, no-kill animal welfare agency. For the past 19 years, we have been caring for unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats at our facility in North Fort Myers, and many others through community outreach and foster care.

We operate solely on donations, volunteers and grants- we receive no Federal or State money. Currently, we have over 400 cats and 60 dogs available for adoption at our shelter. Many of the animals have special needs that require medications and surgeries.

Community Sponsorships are a critical part of our survival. Because we have less that 1% administrative overhead due to our volunteer base, every penny donated to the shelter goes directly to animal care.

Your Tax deductible donation could spay a dog like Sage, buy enough food to feed her for a full year, or even build her a dog lodge that will keep her safe and warm… and that would make her very happy!
