The Humane Society of North Central Florida
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community's resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
Our Mission is to eliminate the needless euthanasia of healthy and treatable pets in North Central Florida.
First Magnitude Brewing Company
Back in 2012, four friends came together with the idea of opening a brewery in their hometown. The group all had the same goal: make excellent beer, build awareness and appreciation of Florida's springs, have a great space for people to come and enjoy a pint, be an exceptional place to work, and be a big part of our local community.
SINCE OPENING OUR DOORS we've made a lot of things- award winning beer, a fantastic team, community connections, and great friends.
First Magnitude Brewing Company is a craft brewery and tap room located in downtown Gainesville, Florida. We are about great beer, an excellent space for enjoying a pint and being an active part of our community. It matters to us, and is what we strive to do well. Enjoy our beer and join us in our vision to celebrate what makes Florida naturally great.
