Increase Florida Funding for Animal Shelters and Rescue Organizations.
The Issue
Every day, animals across Florida are abandoned, injured, lost, neglected, or left in situations where they need immediate help.
Through our own experiences helping animals in need, we have seen how quickly a situation can become an emergency. What started with individual rescue situations has grown into a bigger vision: Sanctuary Casa Salamanca, a project we are building in Orlando, Florida, with the goal of creating a safe place where animals in need can receive care, rehabilitation, and protection.
Our vision includes helping domestic animals, farm animals, and wildlife when appropriate, including providing temporary care and rehabilitation before animals can safely return to their natural environment.
As we work toward building this vision, we have also seen how important resources are for the people and organizations already doing this work every day. Shelters and rescue organizations need space, veterinary care, transportation, food, supplies, foster support, and emergency resources to respond to animals in need.
That is why we are asking Florida leaders to strengthen and expand public funding opportunities for qualified animal shelters and rescue organizations across the state.
We believe these resources can help support:
• Veterinary care and emergency medical treatment • Shelter construction, expansion, and improvements • Transportation and rescue operations • Foster and temporary-care programs • Spay and neuter programs • Food and essential animal-care supplies • Rehabilitation and recovery programs • Emergency response for animals in need
This petition is bigger than one rescue, one animal, or one moment online. It is about supporting the people and organizations working every day to protect animals and strengthening the resources available to communities across Florida.
Sanctuary Casa Salamanca is our personal commitment to being part of that work. We are building this vision step by step, and we want to see a Florida where people who dedicate themselves to helping animals have access to meaningful resources and support.

Together, we can help bring more attention and resources to animal rescue across our state.
