Who We Are
Born Free Pet Shelter is a No Kill 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been helping homeless dogs since 1981. Located on a 5-acre refuge in the Redlands of South Florida,
Born Free rescues dogs in distress and offers them the chance to lead happy and healthy lives until they are adopted.
We are currently responsible for 175 dogs, ranging from puppies to the elderly. With the help of generous donations and the tireless efforts of our volunteers, we provide the love, care, pet meds and medical attention that they need. Some of our dogs will live out their days at the shelter, but we have so many that would make wonderful companions if given the chance.

Our adoption process requires an approved application and a home visit prior to finalizing any adoption. An adoption fee will be applied and accepted when the adoption contract is signed. This fee will be used to feed and maintain the animals that are housed at Born Free Shelter. Our dogs are up-to-date with vaccinations. All dogs are sterilized prior to adoption. Dogs that are less than 5 months old will be sterilized by 6 months of age post the adoption with follow up by BFPS and veterinary documentation. Local adoptions are preferred. All adopters will be given pet ownership support.
