Holiday & Furlough Shelter Closings

Lee County Domestic Animal Services will be closed on the following Lee County holidays and unpaid furlough days (as a County cost-saving measure).  Please note that Animal Services will take an alternate unpaid furlough day on September 27 rather than September 9, the official unpaid furlough day set by the County.  Animal Services will be open on September 9.

If your pet is missing when the shelter is closed, please be at the shelter with proof of ownership to claim your pet at 8:00 am on the next open business day.  If you do not have proof of ownership you may look for your pet at 11:30 am when the kennels are open to the public on the next open business day.  If you have seen your missing pet online after hours please call (239)533-7387 and press option #2.  Please have the animal ID number ready when you call.  The after hours answering service will notify the on-call officer until midnight to place a hold on your pet through closing on the next open business day. 

Please note, the shelter is not open on Sundays.
