Animal Care & Protective Services (ACPS) serves Jacksonville Florida, the largest city by land area in the country, protecting and caring for 6,000 to 8,000 animals each year. On any given day, nearly 500 pets are waiting for adoption.

We respond to more than 30,000 calls for service annually, from rescuing injured strays to investigating cruelty. Through adoptions, reunions, spay and neuter programs, and community support, we work to keep families together and pets safe.

This is about more than sheltering animals. It is about building a stronger, more compassionate Jacksonville.
