Founded in 1952, the Central Brevard Humane Society is Brevard County’s oldest established animal welfare organization.
A no kill for space shelter, the Central Brevard Humane Society is dedicated to speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Also offered are a low cost spay/neuter and wellness clinic for those who cannot afford vet care, as well as chapel and cremation services.
Since the start of Clifton’s tenure as Executive Director in 2004, the Central Brevard Humane Society has gone from a budget of $900,000 with 22 staff, one adoption center, two thrift shops, a flailing cremation business and an annual deficit of $250,000 in 2003, to a $2 million budget with 56 staff, two adoption centers, four thrift shops, a thriving low cost spay/neuter and wellness center, solid performing cremation business and just a bit better than breaking even bottom line in 2012.
