Welcome to Your Florida East Coast Humane Society Website If you're lucky enough to share your life with a pet, you already know that the relationship requires commitment and perseverance. Surely you remember when you last came home to a chewed up pair of slippers (or worse!), a litter box accident, or an eerily quiet house thanks to your dog's "Hairy Houdini" escape act. Pets provide us with unconditional love and companionship, and even lower our blood pressure. But sometimes they can make our blood boil when they act like, well, animals. Sadly, for too many animals exhibiting behaviors their caregivers can't deal with, their fate is tragic: They are given up, or given up on. Behavior problems top the list of reasons for pet relinquishment. Thousands of other pets are given up because of lifestyle changes, such as the birth of a child, or human health issues, such as family members with allergies or illness. Still others are given up because their caregivers couldn't find pet-friendly rental housing, or because their owners simply had unrealistic expectations about what it meant to care for a pet. For all these reasons, The Humane Society of the United States has launched the Pets for Life program. Our goal: to curtail the numbers of animals relinquished to shelters—or otherwise given up on—because of breaks in the human-animal bond. To achieve this goal, we're developing a variety of programs to empower pet caregivers to solve the problems that threaten their relationships with pets.
