We Are the "Humane Alternative"
Serving all of South Florida. We have been matching special needs animals to special people since 1998.
Our Mission - The Humane Alternative takes in, fosters, rehabs and adopts out only handicapped animals. Our mission is to give those whose physical impairments would limit their prospects anywhere else to achieve a winning opportunity in life.
Who We Are - We are a very small group that specializes in hard to place animals. We operate out of our homes and we only have a few special animals in our care at any point in time. Due to the nature of our work we never accept nor take in animals from individuals who are seeking to relinquish their pets. Please do not call us for this reason.

Why This Is So Important - Anyone who has ever worked in animal rescue can attest to the fact that one of the hardest elements in this field is the placement of animals into proper homes. Imagine just for a moment the increased difficulty of this task when the animal needing the home is disabled; either blind, missing a limb, positive for disease, etc. In these cases the prospects diminish dramatically as it takes a special kind of person who is willing to take home a pet who just isn’t perfect.
However, due to the nature of our work we never accept animals from individuals who are seeking to relinquish their pets, regardless of the reason.
