The SFVF provides free veterinary care for the pets of our homeless community in South Florida. The UNLEASHED team examines, vaccinates, and treats pets in need. From ear mites, cuts and scrapes to treating parasites, the dedication of team UNLEASHED has no boundaries.

Please note that SFVF CANNOT help individuals with pets in need of serious medical attention, nor do we have the resources to offer Free Veterinary care. SFVF offers Free clinics at Camillus House which provides Preventative care for pets of the homeless, low income or elderly. Click here for more information and photos…..
