Humane Society of Manatee County

Compassion, Commitment, Community

Saving lives four paws at a time is our passion and commitment. In the year 2021, Humane Society of Manatee County will reach a milestone of 50 years of providing exceptional care for the animals in our community.

The Humane Society of Manatee County is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit animal welfare organization that was originally formed in 1970, and today is considered as the lead animal welfare agency in Manatee County. Humane Society of Manatee County operates a no-kill shelter, the Second Chance Adoption Center located at 2515 14th Street W. and a veterinary clinic / high volume spay and neuter clinic at 2415 14th Street W. in downtown Bradenton. Each year the Second Chance Adoption Center rehomes more than 800 dogs and cats through our comprehensive rehabilitation and adoption program. Many of the animals that enter our adoption program are medically challenged or have behavioral challenges. Each animal in our adoption center receives the highest quality care, medical care and behavioral assessment and training to complete the rehabilitation process resulting in a successful adoption into a new loving home.
