Are you a Veterinary practitioner who is interested in supporting the mission of the SFVF? If so, tag-a-long with us and our philanthropic spirit by participating in this program. The Tag-a-long program encourages veterinary practitioners to donate $1.00 for every rabies tag sold. The funds are used to support the mission of the Foundation.
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.
*The upcoming date is: April 8th, 2012 10am-12pm*

Looking for something fun to do with your family? Visit the Miami Children’s Museum and lear how pets should be cared for at home and at the vet clinic in our “Pet Central” exhibit. Pet Central was donated to the Miami Children’s Museum by the South Florida Veterinary Foundation. In this exhibit you can pick the purr-fect pet for your family, view x-rays and examine patients!
This program honors both animal and people heroes that make our community and lives a truly better place. Individuals are recognized at an annual banquet, traditionally in May (pet awareness month!), for the special relationship they share with others around them and their contribution within each category.
