About Us

River City Community Animal Hospital is dedicated to ending the tragedy of our community’s  pet overpopulation problem. We are based in Jacksonville, Florida, but travel as far as the Gulf of Mexico, including all of Southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida.

Over 26,000 animals are turned in to Jacksonville area shelters; out of these numbers, only about 6,000 animals are adopted. This tragedy is repeated in all communities to some greater or lesser extent. In some communities, there are no shelters nor veterinary care of any kind locally available, especially for spay and neuter services. Although some small percentage of sheltered animals may be adopted, the rest are euthanized due to not having enough homes available for every needy animal. In order to prevent the needless killing of healthy adoptable animals, River City Community Animal Hospital is committed to spaying and neutering all animals seen by our organization.

Since we are non-profit, we are subsidized through the lower professional fees we collect, from private donations, and corporate sponsors.

This helps our organization offer lower fee spay/neuters and individualized patient care at the highest standards of medical care possible.

River City Community Animal Hospital is directed by a Board of Directors and an Advisory Board. All surgeries and medical care are provided by licensed veterinarians and dedicated volunteers.
