​​​​​Thank you for your interest in becoming a Transfer Partner with Broward County Animal Care (ACAD). Together, we can save lives and give good animals a second chance to find safe, loving forever homes. This is hard work, but the rewards make it worth the time, effort and sacrifice.

• Have had no arrests or convictions of animal cruelty, neglect or abandonment. 
• Complete and sign a Transfer Partner Application​ and Agreement.

Once received, applications are reviewed for accuracy and completeness.
