Description The Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) is a local, independent non-profit in Jacksonville, FL. JHS was founded in 1885 to serve Jacksonville and outlying areas in an animal control capacity. In 2005, JHS officially became a no-kill shelter. Shortly after, a coalition was formed to make Jacksonville a no-kill city. In 2014, the goal became a reality and Jacksonville became the nation’s largest no-kill city. JHS opened our new Adoption, Education and Pet Help Center in 2017 on our Beach Boulevard property. JHS first moved onto this land in 1920 and has been operating on its grounds since. A fire in 2007 destroyed most of the property but with the support of our community, donors, and friends, the new building is now open.

We went to the shelter in hopes to find a dog for our family! I called prior and the ladies at the front desk were very patient and nice! I had a few dogs in mind that I asked about and they were very informative and helpful on the background on each dog! We went there the same day and we met with our adoption counselor Erin! And OMG she’s the best! We had so many questions which she was very helpful with answering! After going through the background of the dog we choose, we finally got to meet him but we’re still on the fence on adopting him, we opted to do a “Staycation” from Wednesday (The day we went to the humane society) and we were scheduled to bring him back that Saturday. She was also very fond of the dog we chose to take home and insured us that she believes he will fit right in! By Friday my kids, my husband and I decided to go back to the Humane Society to officially adopt him! Erin was so kind and sweet and she really made us feel at ease with the whole process (mind you I have 2 little ones at home and wanted to insure I’m bringing the right fit for our family). It’s safe to say we found the perfect dog to call family! 🩵🐾

We've been here a few times. We took a dog for a staycation for 5 days. We often foster kittens and return them when they're at the appropriate weight for spaying/neutering. It's a wonderful experience and our kids enjoy it. It's nice to teach them to care for animals.

Disappointed with my service, I got a puppy there a couple days ago. Everything was fine, the staff told me she had all her treatments including flea prevention. Not even 3 days later, I spot fleas on her. They promised they would send proof to email of all her treatments… they never did!!!! Don’t get a puppy from here! Who knows what else they lied about….Don’t sell dogs that aren’t ready!👏👏👏

I was very impressed with this shelter. Great staff. Knowledgeable, friendly, and you can tell how much they love pets. I got a cat and he’s been a wonderful addition to our family

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Jacksonville Humane Society in Jacksonville, FL, and I must say that it left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with exceptional service at the front desk. The staff there were not only welcoming but also incredibly knowledgeable and eager to assist. They answered all my questions about their services, adoption process, and the animals available for adoption with a smile. One of the things that struck me the most was the warm and cozy atmosphere throughout the facility. The environment felt inviting, making me instantly comfortable as I explored the various areas. It was evident that the Jacksonville Humane Society truly cares about both their animals and customers. Speaking of animals, the sweet treatment of animals and customers alike was heartwarming. The staff showed genuine affection and care for the animals in their care, ensuring they were comfortable and loved. They took the time to introduce me to some of the animals available for adoption, and it was heartwarming to see the strong bond between the animals and their caretakers. One aspect that cannot be emphasized enough is the need for donations. The Jacksonville Humane Society does incredible work, but they rely on the generosity of donors to continue their mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. Every dollar donated goes a long way in supporting the well-being of these animals and maintaining the wonderful facility they have created. In conclusion, my visit to the Jacksonville Humane Society was a truly memorable experience. The exceptional service from the front desk, the warm and cozy atmosphere, and the sweet treatment of animals and customers all make it a remarkable place. I urge everyone to consider donating to this organization to ensure they can continue their vital work in the Jacksonville community. Your support can make a world of difference in the lives of these deserving animals.
