Florida Animal Friend

Florida Animal Friend is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to ending pet overpopulation in Florida through the funding of spay and neuter programs. The organization's primary revenue source is the sale of the "Florida Animal Friend" specialty license plate, which features artwork of a cat and dog. Each year, the organization reviews grant applications and awards hundreds of thousands of dollars to municipal and non-profit agencies that provide low-cost or free sterilization services. By focusing on high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter initiatives, Florida Animal Friend works to reduce the number of homeless animals and the resulting burden on state shelters. The organization is governed by a board of directors that includes veterinarians and animal welfare advocates. Since its inception, it has awarded over $7 million in grants to support animal welfare across the state.
