Eglin Pet Welfare's Mission
Pet Welfare is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill animal shelter located on Eglin Air Force Base in Northwest Florida . We receive no monetary support from the government, operating solely on donations, grants, adoption fees, fundraisers, and the Combined Federal Campaign. Our purpose is to support the military member and military lifestyle by easing the hardship associated with abandoning or euthanizing a valued family member, the family pet. Permanent Change of Station to certain locations makes it unfeasible or impossible in many cases to continue ownership and care. We also support DoD civilians, retired military members and local civilians as necessary. We provide shelter to many found animals and rescue many from local shelters that would otherwise be euthanized.
