Animal Resource Center Site Plan

AYLA'S ACRES ANIMAL RESOURCE CENTER ONE STEP CLOSER TO REALITY
Big news! Ayla's Acres Animal Resource Center (formerly Peter's Friends) will break ground, soon. St. Johns County approved a special use permit for the adoption center and veterinary clinic. We are waiting for the final permits and then we can start to build! The engineering is completed, site plans are ready, soil samples have been gathered, and the archaeological investigation is done.
Our new Animal Resource Center will provide a warm, non-institutional, clean, safe, loving environment for adoptable dogs and cats until they find their forever homes. This includes shelter, food, and interaction between people and the animals. It will also provide an onsite veterinary clinic with no- or low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination programs. Read more about our new shelter including it's location, visit our Animal Resource Center page.
