Animal Services is proud of its shelter and adoption center which was constructed through the Penny for Pinellas one-cent sales tax. Located on a seven-acre, wooded tract in a non-evacuation zone, this state-of-the-art facility allows Animal Services to improve customer service and to better care for animals by providing comfortable kennels, improved ventilation and quarantine isolation facilities. These features aid in the reduction of disease and promote healthier pets for adoptions or lost pets waiting to be reclaimed.

Notice:
The shelter and adoption center at Pinellas County Animal Services will be closed to the public Thursdays beginning the week of Sept. 22. The reduction in hours is due to budget reductions. Animal Services will continue to be involved in enforcement activities on those days.
The new hours of Pinellas County Animal Services are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The adoption areas will close 30 minutes prior to the shelter closing. The shelter will not be open to the public on Thursdays, Sundays or holidays. The outside animal drop-off will be open on those days that the shelter is closed to the public.
“In order to reduce our budget we decided that the Thursdays hours would have to be cut. This way, we are able to maintain our Saturday hours, which are very popular with the public,” said Dr. Welch Agnew, director of Pinellas County Animal Services. “However, that does not mean that our commitment to the public or the animals we care for is any different than before and we urge our citizens to come tour our facility and visit with our adoptable pets.”
