Suwannee County Animal Shelter

Suwannee County Animal Shelter We serve our community and strive for better lives for the animals. Open M-F from 9-430. 3862080072. PLEASE READ OUR POLICY BELOW BEFORE ENTERING FACILITY!

IF YOU HAVE STRAY ANIMAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL THE SHELTER BEFORE COMING IN! Adoption fees are as listed. (All fees must be paid by Cash or Check Only)

​$50.00 for altered Dogs and Puppies

$35.00 for altered Cats and Kittens

$250.00 for Horses

$50.00 for Goats and Pigs

There is an additional $10.00 refundable deposit for animals that are adopted prior to being altered. This is in accordance

with Fl. Statute 823.15. The deposit will be returned once proof of altering is brought to the shelter. All dogs receive their first DAPP vaccine, dewormer and flea prevention and microchipped. All Cats receive their first FVRCP vaccine, dewormer and flea prevention and microchipped. We have partnered with the University of Florida Veterinary Community Outreach Program as well as local Veterinarians and attempt to get the animals spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, and rabies vaccinated prior to adoption but we can only take a few at a time each week. If this procedure has not been completed prior to adoption, the adopter will have 30 days from the date of adoption to spay/neuter the pet and return the proof to the shelter. Statute 823.15

All adoptions are subject to application approval. Animals currently in the home must be kept current on vaccines through a licensed Veterinarian. Intake Policy: Suwannee Co. does not have a leash law. Dogs are allowed to roam; however, they are not allowed to be a nuisance. Please do not pick up a roaming animal as animals are considered property. Simply call animal services with the location of the animal and an officer will respond. If your neighbor's animal comes on your property, please do not feed it as it will stay. Please call animal services so they can address the issue with the owner. Please do not bring in an animal without calling the shelter first. We are a STRAY facility only! We do not take in owner surrenders, your pregnant dog or cat, your litters of puppies/kittens and your Feral's. We will help you in any way we can by providing resources for you as well as recommended veterinarians to spay and neuter your animals to help the situation. If you come in with animal you claim as stray, you will have to fill out a questionnaire. Some of the questions will ask you for your DL #, vehicle tag #, current address / phone #, veterinarian and landlord contact information, (if you are renting). We do this for the safety of the animals and staff. Overcrowding leads to outbreaks, euthanasia and neglect in animal care with a ratio of 3 staff members and vetting 40 plus stay animals in need of urgent care. We ask you check with your neighbors. If you claim a dog is dumped, we now are asking for tag numbers in order to follow through with the claim. WE FOLLOW CAPACITY FOR CARE HEALTH CODE www.sheltervet.org/guidelines-for-standards-of-care-in-animal-shelters. WE ALSO FOLLOW THE FLORIDA STATUTE 837.06 The information provided herein is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge.

Brutus!!

The absolute best part of our day is when we get to spend time with the dogs and actually learn their personalities. Brutus absolutely loves playing with toys especially this chicken toy. I have to say who ever takes Brutus home is going to have to take his chicken too. 🤣🐶🍂❤️🍁🎃 He’s having the best time right now. #foster #adopt #suwanneecounty #dogs #shelterdog #adoptdontshop #animalshelter #suwannee

Do you remember Fraser? He was our sweet boy that came in with a GSW and the possibility of needing an amputation of his leg. Well this is sweet Fraser today, he was fortunate to not need an amputation of his leg, he is healthy, full of spunk and love. Fraser is available for adoption, he is looking for a family to spoil him and play outside with. Fraser gets along with other dogs, cats, and livestock. He does well inside, he is also potty trained, and keeps a clean crate.

🩵🥹🙏🏼🌸🐶Our shelter is full of dogs just like this one. So loving and kind. Looking for love that they have never been shown before. Before you go buy from a breeder please remember these dogs need homes too and they are just as smart, kind, and loving. Also super adorable and smart. Shelters all over a full, it’s an emergency. Please open your home to a shelter dog. If you cannot foster or adopt we also have an Amazon wish list and could use donations. We can use water buckets, beds, food, flea meds, etc. #foster #adopt #adoptdontshop #suwanneecounty #shelterdogs #animalshelter #dogs

Our Story

Adopting an animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal.

The Adoption Fee for Dogs or Puppies is $50 and Cats or Kittens is $35 there is an additional $10 sterilization deposit, which is fully refundable once you show paper work that it has been done. It is Florida statute (823.15) that all dogs and cats are to be sterilized within 30 days of adoption or when animal is age or size appropriate, if not already done.

The adoption Fee for Horses is $250.00 and up depending on the amount of time and care that has gone into treating and caring for each particular horse.
