FACILITY IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED to the public for visitation. Adoptions are by appointment only.
Please note that our facilities are not at full operating capacity as we transition some of our animal housing structures to our future home, requiring some of our animals to be in foster care. Furthermore, to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors during the recent spike of Covid cases in our area, adoptions will be handled by appointment only, and masks and social distancing are required when entering the property. Thank you for your patience.
Adopt a Pet
Our unique no-kill refuge has successfully found homes for thousands of once-abused, neglected and homeless animals since opening in 2007. Providing adoption services is not just our job, it is our mission, and matching the perfect pet with loving owners is our passion.
Animal Passion Podcast
Hosted by Alaqua Founder Laurie Hood, the Animal Passion Video Podcast Series spotlights “difference makers,” who have dedicated themselves to animal protection and safety. By interviewing these amazing individuals, and sharing their stories and videos of their work, we hope to rally all animal lovers to create much needed and lasting change.
Wildlife Rehab Center
The Alaqua Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is a state and federally permitted facility, providing a much-needed resource for rescue, rehabilitation, and release of sick, injured, and orphaned native Florida wildlife—giving second chances to wildlife in need so they may be re-released into their natural habitat.
