Everglades Animals Coalition
The Everglades Animals Coalition (EAC) is a 501-(c)(3) Non-profit, public charity that provides funding for rescue, medical care, and transport for dogs and cats suffering in the Florida Everglades.
The Florida Everglades, despite its burning sun, is a place of darkness for the many dogs and cats who are dumped there on a weekly basis. Whether deserted by their "owners" or born in the Everglades as strays, these animals are left to fend for themselves in a very inhospitable environment. They must try to survive amongst alligators, tick infestations causing anemia and tick-borne diseases, raging, hot sun, pythons , vehicles, and possibly the most dangerous of all, ill-spirited humans who hurt, poison and abuse these animals. In addition to this, there are several busy roads where large trucks travel to the various tree farms in the areas. Many strays end up being hit and wounded or killed by these vehicles.
Everglades Animals Coalition wants to bring to light this crisis happening all along the Everglades Corridor of Florida. It is our hope that by providing resources, funds and outreach we will help curb the epidemic of dog and cat dumping, promote healthy, responsible pet ownership, and find unwanted animals forever homes.
We are so glad you are here. Please help spread the word of this daily occuring tragedy. The dogs and cats of the Everglades are counting on us.

Past Projects
More than 20 dogs were recently rescued from the Everglades and Redlands area of Miami, as part of one effort, thanks to a collaboration with the Cold Noses Foundation.
Eleven adults and nine puppies were saved from the hostile environment where heat stroke, predation from alligators and snakes, and starvation were everyday threats. These lucky pups were rescued by volunteers: workers who frequent the area to feed and safely capture the dogs to remove them from harm. The dogs were transported via van to Washington Humane Society where they received immediate medical care and were later adopted out to qualified homes.
The Everglades
The Everglades are a place of immense beauty and diverse natural habitat. Our mission is to help companion animals abandoned here, by providing grants and support to rescuers in the community.
