Bring Love Home with our Military Matches Adoption Program

Scores of research studies prove that pet ownership has profound health benefits. For those who have served in the U.S. Military, a companion dog or cat can be a true comrade in arms. As a thank you to all active-duty and veteran members of the U.S. Armed Forces, HSSC proudly offers our Veterans Program.

The Humane Society of Sarasota County's Military Adoption program is made possible by Sun Outdoors Sarasota. Thanks to Sun Outdoors Sarasota's generosity, adoption fees are waived for all active‐duty and veteran members of the U.S. Armed Forces when they adopt a companion animal from HSSC. Service members simply need to show proof of military service, and their adoption fee is covered. While not trained service animals, HSSC adoptable animals are guaranteed to provide love and support and be true friends.
