Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

About Us

Alaqua Animal Refuge, an independent, non-profit organization located on Florida's Emerald Coast, advocates the general welfare and humane treatment of animals by providing shelter, prevention of pet overpopulation and adoption services. Located down a winding gravel road on a picturesque, 10-acre farm in Freeport, Fla., once homeless, lost and abused animals run and play in sun-soaked pastures, swim in cool, clean ponds, relax on breezy screened porches and graze in lush, green fields. These animals - and many like them, usually more than 250 at any given time - have found safety and care at Alaqua Animal Refuge Inc., a unique full-service, no-kill shelter.

Alaqua Animal Refuge's facility expanded in 2009 to provide additional animal housing. Funded by grants, improvements were made to an existing barn, a new barn was added in addition to two new quarantine buildings, two new infirmary buildings, six dog buildings and two cat buildings.

Moving forward, Alaqua Animal Refuge is positioned expand its services to include additional educational and community services through significant and innovative outreach programs.

As we grow and develop our facility and operations, we will adhere to our guiding purpose: To give neglected, lost and abandoned animals a chance at life.
