Pet Welfare Adoption Center

Pet Welfare is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, no-kill animal shelter located on Eglin Air Force Base in Northwest Florida. The shelter places nearly 300 abandoned, stray, and homeless cats and dogs every year. Our purpose is to support the military member and military lifestyle by easing the hardship associated with abandoning or euthanizing a valued family member, the family pet. Permanent Change of Station to certain locations makes it unfeasible or impossible, in many cases, for military families to continue ownership and care of their family pet. We also support Department of Defense civilians, retired military members, and local civilians as necessary. Although our priority is to the military member and their family, we provide shelter to many found animals and rescue many from local animal shelters that would euthanize pets at their shelter. We receive no monetary support from the government, operating solely on donations, grants, adoption fees, fundraisers, and the Combined Federal Campaign contributions. All Pet Welfare staff members are dedicated, hardworking volunteers devoting their time to make life better and safer for all our animals. We have no paid staff and all money collected goes toward the health and upkeep of all our shelter animals.
