“Florida leaders in lifesaving: jhs is a no-kill shelter and we work in partnership with our municipal city shelter, animal care and protective services, to strive towards making jacksonville a no kill community. In 2024, 89% of the animals who entered a shelter in jacksonville left alive. The jacksonville humane society's (florida) leaders in lifesaving program provides training and support to animal welfare organizations throughout the state of florida while inspiring collaborative solutions that engage the hearts, hands and minds of local communities to unite and save the lives of shelter animals. According to the most recent data for 2024, 353,582 pets entered florida shelters, 310,042 left alive and 41,507 did not. The jacksonville humane society (jhs) is dedicated to changing this and decreasing shelter deaths by continuing our statewide effort to unite, inspire and engage communities to create solutions that save lives. Our program, florida leaders in lifesaving, will accomplish this by decreasing intake, increasing live outcomes and supporting community needs. Jhs knows from our experience in turning jacksonville into a lifesaving community that success comes from collaboration. By building collaborative efforts within each community, jhs seeks to inspire, unite and engage organizations to continue lifesaving impacts. Our goal is to set each area up for success and then support them on their road to sustainable lifesaving practices, so that they can one day mentor others, too. With your assistance, this collaborative lifesaving effort will create measurable impacts in the state of florida, and most importantly, save lives.”
