Addressing Common Health Concerns
The Humane Society's veterinary services are comprehensive and focused on preventive health. Available treatments and procedures include routine wellness exams, vaccinations, microchipping, parasite prevention, deworming, laboratory testing, spay and neuter surgeries, and dental cleanings.
These services address health concerns, prevent disease, and promote a pet's overall well-being and longevity. In addition to medical care, the organization offers professional pet grooming services. These include hand stripping, trimming, and scissoring, all performed by skilled grooming staff.
The St. Augustine Humane Society does not operate a shelter on this property.
Distributing Pet Food to Low-Income Families
Lastly, the pet food pantry eases the financial burden of feeding animals. Through generous donations, the St. Augustine Humane Society receives thousands of pounds of pet food, which is distributed to low-income families. This initiative helps pet owners retain their animals during difficult times and prevents unnecessary pet surrenders.
Those needing food assistance are encouraged to visit the St. Augustine Humane Society on Fridays, when pantry registration is typically available. Eligibility is based on income; participants must meet specific requirements to qualify for support.
To access the pet food pantry or any low-cost veterinary services, individuals must provide proof of participation in government assistance programs such as SSI, WIC, Section 8 Housing, Subsidized Housing, Food Stamps, MediPass, or similar income-based services. Additionally, applicants must have a gross annual household income between $16,245 and $38,685.
