We're making a pawsitive impact
At the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County, we believe in being completely transparent and are committed to sharing statistics and data to help you track our performance and the impact we are having on the lives of animals in our local community.
We measure our success, in part, through the “save rate,” which is based on all the cats and dogs we receive, regardless of their age, temperament or physical condition. In the last year alone 2,289 pets were adopted into new homes or reunited with their families. At the end of 2023, our save rate was 95% for all dogs and cats.
Thanks to our compassionate community, we remain committed to saving pets in our community and beyond.
