South Florida SPCA has been rescuing animals since 1992

South Florida SPCA Mission & Vision

Driven by the need to serve abandoned and starving horses, and with the vision to create a safe haven for them, the South Florida SPCA, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization was formed. The mission of the South Florida Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is to rescue, rehabilitate horses and other livestock in Miami Dade County and safely rehome them across the country.

Where are you located?

The SFSPCA Rescue Ranch is located in Homestead Florida.

When may I come visit the horses available for adoption?

The SFSPCA Rescue Ranch is not open for public visits.

Potential adopters are allowed to visit the horses after their adoption application has been approved. The adoption application is available on the website.

Volunteers are allowed to visit the ranch after completion of their Orientation class.

Donors are invited to schedule private tours for their chosen group of participants.

What is the horse or livestock adoption fee?

Horse adoption fees vary. Generally, the horse adoption fee’s start at $500.00. The Thoroughbreds adoption fee are slightly higher, and generally start at $1,000.00. There are always variable factors that may decrease or increase an adoption fee.

Livestock adoption fees vary, but are generally nominal, the quality of home placement matters most. We will not adopt out if there is any likelihood they will be sold at auction or used for meat.

Will you take in my horse or pony?

Unfortunately, we are not able to take in “owner surrender” horses, ponies or other animals. All our animals have come to use because of abandonment, starvation or some kind of cruelty situation. We are a transition facility; we are not a sanctuary.

About South Florida SPCA

In 1992, following Hurricane Andrew, the South Florida SPCA was founded out of a need to help abandoned horses. Over the course of time a small effort to help individual horses grew to an organization that serves all horses and livestock who are victims of cruelty, starvation and or abandonment.

As the organization matured, The South Florida SPCA became collaborators with Miami Dade Animal Services, received accreditation with Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance and Global Federations of Sanctuaries and began to serve the entire Miami Dade County community. We have rescued over 2,500 horses in the course of time. As well as all the farm livestock we have rescued, there have been llamas, alpaca’s, geese, and even a camel or two.
