HSSC's Response to COVID-19

The Humane Society of Sarasota County is taking a “Humanely Possible” approach to the COVID-19 crisis. Our priorities are to continue to care for and find permanent homes for our shelter animals, to help our rescue partners and our community, and to keep providing lifesaving medical care to our clients. We know that we cannot do everything, but we are doing everything “Humanely Possible.”

The shelter is open to the public for normal adoption hours. Effective June 1, appointments are required to view or adopt a cat or dog. Please call 941.955.4131 to make an appointment.

Our Animal Clinic is open, and clients are now allowed inside the building. Please call 941.364.3605 to speak directly to the Clinic.

Face masks are required inside and outside, per Sarasota City Ordinance, effective July 1, 2020, for 60 days. Some exceptions apply.

EVENTS WITH HSSC

2020 Giving Challenge Results

For over 68 years, HSSC has provided original animal programming to our community. Every HSSC program is filled with heartwarming success stories of animals and people. As a private nonprofit, HSSC relies on donations from people like you to keep our programs “streaming.” The 2020 Giving Challenge came at a time when we needed your support more than ever. In an outpouring of generosity that took our breath away, you proved that YOU ARE THE ONE to support a cause that matters to you. Over a 24-hour period from April 28-29, noon to noon, 807 HSSC supporters donated $69,797! With an additional $52,757 in matching funds from The Patterson Foundation and $10,550 in prizes, the total raised was $133,054! 

The 2020 Giving Challenge was presented by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County with giving strengthened by The Patterson Foundation. The 2020 Giving Challenge set a new standard for generosity in our community, when 58,947 people raised more than $18.4 million in just 24 hours!

As the area’s premier no-kill shelter, the Humane Society of Sarasota County engages the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. We rely solely on contributions from individuals, organizations, and corporations. HSSC receives no federal funding, nor are we funded by any national humane organization.
