Disaster Relief: F.A.S.T.
(Florida Animal Sheltering Team) HELP

Spearheaded by the S.P.C.A. of Central Florida, this program was developed to alleviate already full animal shelters in the state during times of disaster or serious or severe overcrowding. Animals that have been relinquished by their owners, or strays that have completed their legal hold time, may be moved to a participating shelter partner.

Since the SPCA of Central Florida is located in the center of the State, we have often been called on to help our agency friends from Jacksonville to the Keys. We have accepted companion animals from shelters who have experienced the worst that Mother Nature has to offer… including fires, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes. We have even provided temporary shelter to some unusual animals, including a wolf and two cougars, which needed to be relocated because of fires near their wildlife refuge!

For some agencies, shelter overcrowding can lead to the euthanasia of otherwise adoptable pets. To help these shelters, and the pets in their care, we have gladly taken in pets from overcrowded shelters as far away as North Carolina and Alabama.

The SPCA of Central Florida is committed to providing a second chance at life for these pets in need.
