Sunshine State Animal Rescue
No-kill animal rescue in FL. Foster based. Sanctuary & rehoming of shelter animals, including assessing potential working dog candidates. 501c3 approved
Rescue animals from high kill shelters. We also identify potential working dog candidates in shelters as too often these highly intelligent dogs are surrendered to shelters due to an owner under-utilizing the dog's potential. Educate the community on responsible pet ownership as well as the roles of service/SAR/working dogs.

The Sunshine State Animal Rescue (SSAR), Inc. is a no-kill animal rescue - foster home based, located in the Navarre, Florida area (Northwest Florida). We offer sanctuary & rehoming for shelter animals, including assessing potential working dog candidates. (501c3 non profit.) All care for animals is dependent totally on donations. No one affiliated with the rescue receives payment or a salary - we are completely volunteer based and dependent on the community. Our board of directors is filled with dedicated professionals - paralegal, nurse, dog trainers, best selling author, and more - all with long term experience in animal shelter and rescue work.
