    Location

    The St. Augustine Humane Society promotes lifelong pet ownership by promoting the health and well-being of companion animals in St. Johns County, FL. Their programs are designed to reduce the number of pets entering shelters. They honor the love people have for their pets by offering veterinary pet wellness programs, medical care, and other resources, ensuring every pet has the chance to live a happy, healthy life. The St. Augustine Humane Society provides hope, healing and recovery.

    The Grey Muzzle grant will offer a safety net to clients who need financial help  to pay for veterinary care. Grant funding will cover diagnostic, medical, dental, and preventative services for senior dogs like 15-year-old Kylie. Kylie’s gum disease was causing her pain and leading to other health complications, but the cost of dental work from a private veterinarian was simply more than her family could afford. The St. Augustine Humane Society performed lifesaving dental surgery, and now Kylie is enjoying her best life at home with her family.
