Palm Beach and surrounding communities, if your looking for a lovable dog or kitty, please consider adopting from Palm Beach County Animal Control!!

🚨 WE ARE FULL. WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW. 🚨

This is more than just overcrowding. Our shelter is over capacity, caring for 180 dogs and 136 cats, and we need space for the animals who need us.

Every day, more animals come through our doors needing safety, care, and a second chance. But we cannot do it alone.

We urgently need adopters, fosters, and rescue partners to step up. Even opening your home temporarily to a foster pet can make room for another animal in crisis.

If you've been thinking about adopting or fostering, please don't wait. If you can't bring a pet home, please share this post. Your share could reach the person who can save a life.

Our animals need our community now more than ever. Please help us make room for the next pet who needs us. ❤️🐾

NEW PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT — KEEPING OUR RESPONDERS SAFE & CONNECTED

Florida SARC is proud to welcome as a new partner in responder safety!

When disaster strikes, communication isn't just important — it can be a lifeline.

During hurricanes, losing electricity is something our emergency responders prepare for. But during our recent Hurricane Isaias response in Washington County, Florida, we experienced something that created an even greater challenge.

We lost power AND cellular service at the same time.

Our responders were operating an emergency pet shelter, caring for animals and supporting families who had evacuated ahead of the storm. With power and cellular communications down, staying connected with the State of Florida Emergency Operations Center, our response partners, and FL SARC leadership became a serious concern.

That's where ZOLEO stepped up!

Through our new partnership, ZOLEO is helping FL SARC strengthen our emergency communications capabilities, giving our responders an additional way to stay connected when traditional cellular networks are unavailable.

Why does this matter?

Responder Safety: Helping our teams communicate their status and request assistance when needed.

Disaster Operations: Maintaining critical communication during hurricanes and other emergencies.

Partner Coordination: Supporting communication with state emergency management, national response partners, and local agencies.

Emergency Readiness: Building communications redundancy so losing cellular service doesn't mean losing contact with our teams.

Our responders go into challenging environments to help animals and families. Making sure they can communicate and return home safely is one of our highest priorities.

A HUGE THANK YOU to ZOLEO for recognizing the importance of responder safety and supporting the mission of the Florida State Animal Response Coalition, a program of SPCA Florida.

Partnerships like this do more than provide equipment and technology. They help protect the people who answer the call when disaster strikes.

Because before we can save animal lives, we must make sure our responders are safe.
