St Francis Pet Care Inc

The charitable mission of st. Francis pet care (sfpc) is to help people in our most vulnerable communities remain together with their pets so both can benefit from the human-animal bond. To this end, we provide primary veterinary care to the companion animals of homeless persons, veterans referred from the va, and very low income residents of alachua county, florida. We work to reduce the number of companion animals turned into shelters because their owners can no longer afford their care, and to increase the proportion of spayed and neutered pets in the population we serve. We educate our clients in responsible pet care and help them improve the lives of their pets. We do outreach to the homeless campground to ensure the well-being of the animals and reduce the incidence of zoonotic diseases. We also provide an educational opportunity to students in the university of florida's college of veterinary medicine, who help at our weekly downtown clinic.
