Friends of Animal Rescue operates the South Padre Island Recovery Center and Shelter. The group is responsible for the Island’s homeless and lost animals. The group has cared for more than 300 animals since October 2012. The group also works with kill shelters to save the lives of animals through their foster program. Friends of Animal Rescue provides vetting for all animals in their care. This includes spay/neuters, vaccines, heart worm testing and treatment. The Recovery Center is not only for dogs and cats but also wildlife such as birds, opossums, and raccoons.
