For seven decades, Humane Society of Vero Beach (“HSVB”) has been dedicated to improving the lives of animals in the community. The mission is to provide compassionate care, shelter, and advocacy for animals, while also promoting responsible pet ownership through education and outreach. They have helped thousands of animals find loving homes, provided low-cost spay/neuter services to reduce pet overpopulation, offered humane education programs to inspire the next generation of animal advocates and focused on public policy that benefits pets and their forever families. Ensuring that forever families have the resources they need to keep their pets safe and at home has led to a focus on caring for the people that care for the animals.
HSVB is governed by an 18 person board comprised of dedicated business and community leaders. The current operating budget is approximately $5.5M. 76% of the budget comes from private donations, fundraising activities, and earned revenue from Thrift Shops. Additional earned revenue sources include adoption fees and clinic service fees. A portion of the annual operating budget is paid by Indian River County, as HSVB serves as the County’s animal sheltering service provider. In 2023, the shelter cared for 3,864 animals, facilitated 2,144 adoptions and 562 family reunifications, achieving a save rate of 95%. All HSVB employees and volunteers are fear free certified and uphold the Five Freedoms.
